Merry Christmas Honey We have a few more days but the excitement is building. The girls have a 2 week break & we got our first good snowfall today. From where you are I think it looks like a snow globe. I always think it´s beautiful where you are That´s what we pray for you. It helps us to know your grandparents & others are there with you. Have a wonderful celebration in Jesus´ light. I hope you can be with all of us on the 25th. I carry you in my heart & always have you with me. Merry...

You are loved every minute of every day

You are wished the gift of Peace
You are the Guardian Angel of our
Grandgirls
You are in our heart until we are
Together, longer than we are apart

We love you forever & hold you with us
Always
Your family. ❤

I had every intention of writing meaningful, philosophical words to you today, but decided this poem says it better-

At last his gallant soul took flight
into the land where there is no night.....
But his name is carved in our hearts to stay,
as we think of the things he used to say...
So he has not left, he's only gone on
into a brighter more wonderful dawn...
For men like him were not born to...

Hi Honey
Obviously we don’t need anything to remind us of you. You are in our hearts & on our minds daily. We love you, miss you, & carry memories of you wherever we go. It has nothing to do with dates on the calendar but everything to do with our family. As it has grown you & your brother remain the source of our life & our love regardless of where we are. Please remember how important you are to us. We send you our love & wish you PEACE.

All our LOVE on your Heavenly 39th Birthday

In my way, I have spent most of this day with you. Bringing red roses as a symbol of all the LOVE that is here for you and remembering the little boy when looking at so many childhood mementoes. As I was looking at them, that little boy was as vivid as could be. You are not a little boy any longer, but we are that family who LOVES you and carries you in our hearts forever. You are as much a part of our lives and conversations and...

Hi Honey
Here we are on this day I hate. I am thankful the FB games helped us all to fill the day because otherwise, we don't really know what to do with it. First of all, my prayer for you has not changed- I pray that Jesus is showing you the way to your peace and that after this amount of time your heart knows PEACE and is filled with all the LOVE we send you. That LOVE is what I believe is carrying us through the days until we all are together again. That LOVE allows...

Wishing you a very Happy Blessed Birthday
Today was the kind of summer day you loved at the lake. Sitting in the pontoon looking out over the water, my mind and heart were filled with thoughts of you. On this day, like everyday, I wish you PEACE, I know you have LOVE, I hope you enjoyed hugs and laughter. It is the day you officially joined our family and the beginning of the 20 years we spent with you. Those are the years and moments I remember and carry with me constantly. I...

MERRY CHRISTMAS HONEY
We didn't really have a white Christmas, but hopefully snow is on the way this week so the holidays will feel white and the kids can play. The girls are growing up but still young enough to be excited about opening presents and unable to eat until that happens. Caitlin is a true believer and very well may always be. Lauren is a scientist like her mother but continues to be excited for gifts and seems to appreciate them, even if they...
