Happy Birthday Daddy! I went out to the cemetary today and talked to you. I really miss you more than ever. Wish I could hear that laugh of yours. Tyler is getting so big. She talks about you all the time. She wants her ceiling painted of the pic of you and her eating ice cream, which we know you loved your ice cream. She acts like you in so many ways them goofy faces you you would make. She is built just like you that long upper body with them short legs. I miss you and love you to the stars and back. But I will see you again some day. I love you Daddy. Happy Birthday!!!
Love your baby girl

I wanted to tell you Merry Christmas and I love and miss you so much. I would give anything to see you again but I know I will one day. You are always in my thoughts. Watch over my grandsons for me.

Daddy I don't know why they didn't print my Happy Birthday letter to you but you know I wrote it. I wish you were here to help me through some of these tough times but I know you are watching over us. I am having another grandson in January. I guess I am not meant to have a little girl to spoil but that is okay cause Jeremy is rotten enough. He is a Papa's boy. I still keep him all the time. I wish you could give me advice it seems like there is one crisis after another going on in my life. I wish I could catch a break. Janet is doing good I talk to her often. Well Daddy I miss you and love you very much.
Love Always,

Happy Birthday Daddy! I am sending all my kisses and hugs up to you. Watch over all of us and make sure you send those special signs to Chris. As you know I have a new grand baby...I cant wait to go visit in a couple of weeks. Please help Erika get through these touch times as you know she lost a very close friend to her named Kaleb..He's up there with you and if you fish up there he is probably one of your new fishing partners. I love and miss you so very much.

Merry Christmas Daddy! I miss you so much. I know you were watching over all of us today. This was the easiest Christmas since Jeremy passed away but he was always in my thoughts. I guess it was better because of the baby being here this year. I bet you got a kick out of watching him trying to run me over with his new tractor. He is a mess. I love you and think of you all the time. Again Merry Christmas and I Love You.

Today would have been your 66th birthday. I miss you so very much. I think of you all the time. I miss the phone calls. You were always there to help me with my problems or to just cheer me up when I was having a bad day but now there really isn't anyone that I can really count on. I guess that is the way it is supposed to be. That is why we have Daddy's. I love you so much. Give Jeremy a kiss for me and tell him I love him too.

"Happy Father's Day Daddy"
I love you and miss you so very much. I am sorry that I couldn't go to the cemetary today but I know you would understand. I sent flowers. I took Lil' Jeremy to see his Daddy. I had their picture taken it was the first one ever together. It is hard to believe that my grandson will be a year old in less then a month. Now I understand how you felt about Charlie all those years ago. I would do anything for Lil' Jeremy. I wish you were here so he could know you. Watch over Donna and Lil' Terry I know they are having a hard time this Father's Day. The first one without you was brutal. Watch over Lil' Terry also while he is at bootcamp. Well I love you and miss you bunches.
Love Always,

I am sorry that I haven't signed this book in so long but you know that you are always in my heart and on my mind. My grandson really keeps me busy. He is growing so fast. He will be walking soon. I bet you and Jeremy are getting a kick out of watching him. I can't believe how much he looks like Trey. He has Raymond wrapped around his little finger. I love you and miss you so much.

You know that I am having some hard times right now but I'll be alright I have always been the black sheep and I don't mind it anymore. I just wish that you were here to tell me what to do. Janet came and saw me, we have stayed close just like you wanted us too. Boy, she sure has helped me alot to keep from going crazy with all that has been happening. I love you and I am glad that you had her in your life because now I have her in mine. Well I guess I will close for now.

Dear Daddy,
It's me again! I wish you were here with me right now. I could sure us some of your wisdom and advice. My life is falling apart and there just doesn't seem to be anyway to stop it. Please don't be dissappointed in me for last week-end. I just didn't know what to do. If it wasn't for my grandson I would be lost. He really loves his Grandma. Daddy watch over him when I can't because he really needs all of us. He is really a sick baby. Daddy I love you and miss you so much but I know that you are at peace finally and I know you are always with me even though I can't see you or hear you. Watch over us all during the holidays. It is hard on us all. I am going to Dixie's for Thanksgiving this year with Jeremy so at least we will be together. I love you and miss you so very much.

Hey Dad,
Lord only knows I wish you were here with me right now. The Holidays are near and I am having a rough time this year. I think this is the worst so far. I miss you so much, I only wish you could be at the house this Thanksgiving and see all the new grandbabies. As you know I have one that lives with me now and a little man on the way. I can't wait for him to get here. I am getting excited. Erika and Ceirra are doing really good in school and Erika has her learners license now. Dad watch over each and everyone of your kids please we all need it at this time. Chris is having a rough time right now more than me, so send her that special touch to let her know you are with her. I worry about everything anymore, and lord knows everything hurts my feelings. I used not be like that but I guess you have softened me up. I love and miss you so much. Give Jeremy, Lil Barry and Danny a kiss for me. And give one to yourself. I watched your DVD the other night and I want to thank you for all the special memories you have given to me and my kids. I love you more than works can say.

Dear Daddy,
My baby boy graduated today and I know that you were with him every step of the way because he didn't pass out. I am so very proud of him. He kept his promise to you. I wish you could have been there today in body but I know that you were in spirit. Janet came and Brenda. Janet comes and stays with me sometimes. I am really glad that me and her have been able to stay as close as we were when you were with us. It makes me feel closer to you having her in my life. Janet said to tell you that she loves you and misses you so very much. We all do. I am now going to be suffering with the empty nest syndrome. All my little birdies are gone now. Daddy I love you and miss you everyday.

Well I know I am being greedy because i have already signed your book today. I was sitting here looking at all the pictures I have taken over the years and reliving the memories. Thanks for everything you have done for me and taught me. I only wish I could give you just one more hug and kiss. I know you are in a better place adn you no longer hurt but I miss you so very much. Cierra is going to be in a pageant next weekend and both the girls made the tennis team. I am so very proud of them and I know you are too.I am going to close for now and go soak in a hot tub. its been a really hard day for me. And Happy First Birthday with Jesus, Daddy!
Love Your Daughter,
Dixie

Daddy,
It has been a year since you left us and it feels like only yesterday that I was with you and trying to help you all I could. I am thankful that you are with Jesus now and that you are in no more pain but you didn't tell our hearts how to go on without you. We miss you so very much and love you with all of our hearts. I wish I could have one more day with you. It hurts so much without you and my darling son Jeremy here with me. Somedays it is almost unbearable. I will never forget the good times or the bad because that is what has made me the person that I am today. I have kept my promise to you so far and I hope to be able to until I join you and Jeremy. Daddy I am going to try and go to the cemetary tomorrow but please don't be mad if I can't. That is the hardest thing going to yours and Jeremy's graves. I talk to you and him all the time and ya'll are both on my mind everyday. I just wanted to say how very much I love you and miss you.You will never be forgotten. Kenny has three months until graduation I know you and Jeremy will be there in spirit.
Love Always Your Daughter,
Chris

I am getting ready for work but I wanted to let you know I love and mis you so very much.

Daddy I wish you were here so I could talk to you. I miss you so much. Janet isn't doing to good but you already know that don't you. I love you. When I said you could go I didn't know that I was going to miss you this much and that it was going to be so hard without you. It feels like only yesterday that I was taking care of you and helping Aunt Margie wash your hair. I love you so much and I will always treasure that last week with you.Until I see you again just know how special you were to me.
Love Always,

I love and miss you so very much.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS DADDY"
I miss you so verry much and wish that I could talk to you again. It is really hard on all of us this year without you. Kenny is taking it real hard. I talked to Janet yesterday. I know that you are spending Christmas with JESUS this year and that you are truly happy. That is comforting for me to know. I hope you liked the tree I decorated for you. Daddy I love you and miss you so much I think about you all the time.
Love Always Your Oldest Daughter,

Daddy,
Well we had Christmas at moms and Janet came over and we all got to see her. It was kinda nice to be together again but not the same as if you were here. I miss you more and more each day. Help me conquer all of this dad because I don't know if I can. We sat and watched our home videos and I cried. You and Jeremy was acting like clowns in most of them. I am going this weekend to the cemetary I hope. It's been hard for me to go down there so don't think that I have forgotten about you because that could never happen. Christmas is just a couple days away and I have to force myself to finish my shopping on Friday evening. Watch over the girls because Erika is really clamming up on me and not wanting to talk anymore. This has really been a hard year for them too. They are growning up so very fast. The twins will be back down this summer and we are going to take a bench down to the cemetary hopefully with everyones name on it. Oh I promise I will wear my 5 time ugly PJ's for Christmas. Haha!Lord i know I am being selfish but i just wish I could hear just one joke from you and see that glowing smile on your face. I miss you so much and always remember you will never be forgotten.
Love your daughter,
Dixie

Daddy,
Well I have my tree up but I havent decorated it yet. We are going to moms Saturday for a Christmas gathering and Janet is supposed to come. I really hope she does. I know its selfish of me but I really wish you could have been there. I promised you that I would get stronger and I am. Watch over the family and send that shining star down for Erika and Cierra to see. I miss you so much you just could not imagine. This time of year is going to be hard on the girls and Phil so help me be strong for them all. I love and miss you with all my heart.
Happy Holiday's with Jesus Daddy!
I love you and miss you very much,

I know you know that I love and miss you ever moment of everyday. I promise i will get stronger for the Holidays for the kids. Just give me a little time. Writing to you so often really helps me alot. Holidays are tough but so am I as you always said. Give Jeremy, Danny, and Frances a hug and kiss from me.

Mr. Lacy, I met you once with Dixie. She is one of my best friends. She really needs you to look over her right now. She is going through alot. I lost my daddy on Thanksgiving day, eleven years ago. I know how hard the holidays are. I am there for her here, but you need to let her know that you are there in heaven for her. Give her a sign every now and then. Ceirra and Erika miss you too. Erika really had a difficult time with your death. I am always thinking of Dixie and her family because I know how hard it is. Dixie, I am always there for you and you know to call me anytime to talk (even in the middle of the night). Love ya.

I need your help today Daddy because I am having one of those days where everything makes me want to cry. I know its you making me do this so I know I really am not that tough,haha..This time last year we were all planning the holidays out and now you are not here with us. I knew it was going to be hard but I guess its harder than I imagined. I miss you so much. I wish all of us kids could of been together like last year for Thanksgiving but we couldn't. Watch over each of them make sure there holidays are safe. I am really hoping we all can get together with mom this Christmas and invite Janet too. This is really a time where family needs to come together. I just want you to know i love you more than words could ever express. Your scrapbook is so precious to me and I want to thank you for all the speacial memories I was able to add to it and relive each and every day.

This year has been the hardest year in my entire life. Watch over everyone and let them know you are thinking about them. Chris is going with Janet to the Hospice Candlelite on Sunday.

Hey Daddy,
Well as you know I have been at a distance from everyone. Sorry I havent stayed in contact with Janet but it's just not the same anymore. I don't even like going to Jesup. It's been a hard year for me as you know. Losing you was really hard, then less than three months later we lost Danny, and now we all know its not going to be long and we will lose Frances. I know I haven't been perfect but I really don't know how much more I can stand this year. I try to be strong for everyone but it's really hard. The girls are doing good. Erika is taking a huge test today to see if she can win a scholarship. I know you are probably sitting right next to her giving her all the answers.Only six kids in the school was chosen to take this test and I am really pround of her. They are going to be in a parade tomorrow so make sure you watch down on them. I only wish you were here to see them. I know you would be so proud of them both. I miss you more than you will ever know. I wish I could just see that smile and hear those smart remarks. We all miss you so much. Watch over all the kids and all my brothers and sisters.
I love and miss you,
Love,
Dixie

Daddy it has been six months since you left us to be with the Lord. I miss you so very much. There has been a hundred times that I have needed someone to talk to that never judged me. My feelings always mattered to you even if you didn't agree with them. I talk to Janet alot. I love you Daddy. I just thought that it would be easier to let you go since we did have time to say goodbye to each other. I know that you are at peace now so that does help alot. I will always have you with me in my heart and I will always love you. I'll see you again.

TO THE WONDERFUL MAN I CALLED DAD,
Well Dad it's been 5 months 2 days since we last talked. It's been 5 minutes since I thought about you. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you.
I remember all the laughs we shared, all the talks we shared, and the tears we shared. So much time seems to have passed since we spent time together.
You were one person I could count on. I could share my dreams,hopes and fears with you. You never judged me and always loved me for me.
You were the Dad I needed! No one knows how important our relationship was to you and me. You and I know and always will.
I still talk to you everyday, but you know that dont you. I want to thank you for being my friend, my family, and my Daddy. I will never forget our relationship or you!
I thank GOD for you Dad. I know one day will be together again and share many more laughs and talks.
Love Always your Daughter Laurie

Hey ,Daddy
Well I signed your book on Monday and I guess it didn't go through. Not sure why because it was just a letter to you. I want you to know that I love and miss you so much. It's been hard but I know you wouldn't want me like this. Happy Father's Day again. I went and sat with you on Saturday so I thank you for helping me make that step. I almost backed out but I know thats something I needed to do. Give Jeremy and Lil Danny a hug and kiss from me and tell them I love them too. Watch over Jerry and Trey because I know they need it. Let Charlie know every once in a while that is you giving him that tug to stay on the right track. I know this is all supposed to get easier but I only feel like it is getting worse. Father's Day just wasn't the same this year it is just another day now that you are gone. I love and miss you so much that it is hard to even look at the pictures through the house without crying.Please twinkle that star at night for Erika, she goes out side almost everynight to see it she can spot you and Jeremy. That is her way of feeling you are watching over her. I know now you are not suffering but I only wish I could here your voice once more and tell me how ugly my pajama's are. I am at work and I just wanted to let you know you are the best dad anyone could have.
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER SAY.
Love Always One of Your Daughters,

Eddie is taking all this so hard and the girls are too.I know you are watching down on me but I only wish you could be by my side instead. I know you said GOD want put on me more than I can handle but I really hope he eases up for a little while I really feel weak right now. Just know you are loved and miss so very much.

Dear Lacy,
My Love, My Best Friend. I miss you so very much, more than I ever thought I ever would! I would rush home because I knew you would be there waiting for me I could share my day and complaints with you. It hurts so very much each day when I come home and your not there waiting for me. I know that you Loved me very much, you always called me your Best Buddy, and I know that you knew how very much I Loved you! We had made so many plans for the future, dreams that we will never share together, but the time's we did have I'll Always remember! I know I told you I would be fine without you, but I'm not fine. Without you I am not fine. But someday I will be alright, I cry a lot when I'm alone, I try to be strong, but without you I feel so alone. I miss you so very much! My life has been turned upside down without you. Brenda has been so much help to me. I know you helped her move here so you would feel better about leaving me. You knew Brenda and Charlie would be here when I needed someone, because you wouldn't. I sit and look at your picture and cant believe you are really gone. I sit in your chair in the Den. I look at all your pictures of the kids and grand kids. I think about all the times we shared with them. How very happy it made you when they all came over together. Everyone Loves You and misses you so very much, but I know if you had to leave me, you are where you want and were God wants you to be, with no more pain, no more worry. I KNOW one day we will all be happy and together again, in a wonderful happy place.
Love Always Forever And A Day Longer, Your Loving Wife Janet

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dad you are missed so very much. I am having a really hard time with you being gone but I know you will never suffer and that you are up in heaven with Jeremy.We are supposed to go to Aunt Margie's this weekend, it's really going to be hard with you not there but I need to go around some of the family. I really was hoping that I could cope with you passing better than I am. I am making a DVD of all the memories we have captured of you and I know you would really be proud of it. I love you and miss you more than you could ever imagine.
Love Your Daughter,
