Dad,
I really don't know How to describe the emptiness I have in my heart and my life. We shared so many things together over the years, and the last few years were especially precious to me. The hours we sat and talked at the table over coffee or as we drove across the country together and I really learned who you were as a child, a man and as my Dad. I will always hold you in my heart and mind.I will always hold your secrets and your love in my heart forever. I will always love and...

Grandpa,
I lOVE YOU AND MISS YOU A LOT! You have always been there for me and everyone in the Family! I will sure miss the good times and the laughs we had together and all the true stories that you told! You left behind very special memories for all of us! You truly are my SUPERMAN! I will never forget you! I was BLESSED to have you as my Grandpa! I LOVE YOU!!

Dad,

I love and miss you so much. You were the best father anyone could ever ask for and I find it hard to believe you are gone. You were always there for me and David no matter what and I am so grateful for everything you've done for me from the time I was little on. The hurt and emptiness left by your passing will never fade and the only peace I can find in all of this is that at least you are no longer in pain and are now with mom. I love you Dad and we'll see each other again...

Grandpa,

Words usually come easily to me whether its in conversation or writing, its part of the reason I've focused on trying to become a writer, but I find myself at a loss of words to adequately describe just how I'm feeling, how lost I am without you. You were and are my hero and my idol. As the only male role model and influence in my life, you are the father I never had. Everything I learned about being a good man I learned by watching you. I know you are with Grandma and I...

So sorry to learn of your loss,May the Lord give you peace in your time of need

Grandpa,
I want to thank you, for being a man that I could look up to. A man that showed bravery and courage through out your entire life, never giving up no matter what obstacle was thrown your way. A man that would stand up for what you believed in. I want you to know, I cherish every memory I have with you. God knows I can't eat a lizard tongue candy without thinking of you. Your stories you told, no matter how silly they got, I loved hearing them. The greatest thing was see your...

Opa we love and miss you soo much. I know that we will see you and Oma again, in heaven. I'm glad we have some great memories of you and the things we got to do.

Opa, we will miss you so much. We will remember you always! We will never forget the stories you told us about the military. When we fall and get hurt we will remember that the best thing to take the pain away is the bear grease, that only you were brave enough to wrestle and get that powerful stuff. We will always enjoy that you came to see our Soap Box Races, and Baseball Games. You will always be in our hearts.

Dad you were my best friend, I will miss the good times we had together. I know your in heaven with mom who you missed so much. Until we all meet again in the Lords house I will miss you. Love,Erika
