Something I still have with me to this day that I will pass down to my children, a folder full of math formulas and memory tricks.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I have some life updates that I wish I could share with you in person: I graduated from nursing school in 2024, and I'll be earning my Bachelor's in Nursing this June 2025. I also married an incredible man in June 2024, someone I know you would have loved (he´s an avid hunter). He´s an amazing stepfather to Ryan and will soon be a father to our little one arriving this April-another baby boy whose nursery theme is Mallard ducks, a small tribute to...

Grandpa where do I begin, I miss every single day, not a day goes by that I don´t think about your classic jokes, your loving support and your smile. I remember the excitement I would get seeing you and grandma pulling up to Gildas, I was and am so proud to be your grand daughter. I am doing as you told me to continuing school, bettering myself, and building a future for myself and Ryan. I see your face and humor in so many people. Everytime I see a mallard duck I think of you and I look up...

Dad taught me what responsibility was and instilled in me the awareness of how important my actions and words were and their impact on the family and others. My dad always had our best interests at heart. He was a great father and I...

Just a glimpse of your picture and the sadness begins to seep into knowing a profound loss I feel. Just wishing to see you again. Grief shows us how much we loved you.

I feel like the luckiest Son in the world to have been raised by my Dad! He taught us right from wrong. He held me accountable for my report card. He enrolled me in extra and special classes that proved very necessary later on in life. I would go to him with problems and questions and he always had the best answer. He made sure we had our swimming lessons while we were very young. He could always see dangerous situations and warn us ahead of time. He childproofed our home and lives. We would...

Hey Grandpa,
I miss you. Sometimes when I am driving home from work and I accomplished something I want to go see you and tell you about it and then remember you aren’t there. I wish you were still here. You are still my favorite.
