Dad,
One year ago today you left us to transition to your next life to be with mom. You left us heartbroken and full of tears. I know you said that we can´t chose when it´s our time to go but you said you weren´t ready. You fought long and hard your last year with us and you showed us a side that we had forgotten. You were loving, caring and shared so much wisdom. You lived life to the fullest not many people can say that about their life. You shared so many stories and when you told us the stories it was like you were living the moment all over again. I will always cherish our moments together fishing camping listening to music or just sitting together watching tv, there were so many things that I was fortunate enough to do with you as I was growing up. I thank god for giving me two wonderful parents. I will always love you Dad! We remember you today and everyday with all our love.
With all my love
Your Butchy Girl

Dear Dad,
Thinking of you and mom hoping that you both have a wonderful Valentine´s Day together. I miss you both and wish we could spend time together. There´s so much that I miss not having the two of you here with us the laughs,smiles hugs and kisses and just talking. Dad I miss you telling about the time you spent in Germany, hearing you tell the story in different voices you made it like we were living the moment. I wish that everyone had a dad and mom like you . You both showed and shared so much with us. I don´t think I could ask anything from either of you except more time with you.
Happy Valentine´s Day
Love Tammy

Merry Christmas Dad,
Thinking of you today and the special memories we had last Christmas. Like watching the hallmark movies and jimmy shaking his head "cause we all know how much you love those movies." Wishing we had one more Christmas together but now you get to be with mom. Missing our Christmas traditions .You and mom gave us so many memories; missing you more than ever. I hope the blankets keep you warm and snuggled on this Christmas Day. Merry christmas, celebrate up there.
Love always,

Merry Christmas Dad,
Thinking of last Christmas and the wonderful Christmas we had together, the house looked like a magical wonderland, watching Hallmark movies and Jimmy just shaking his head(because he just loved those movies). This has been such a horrible year for so many people but for us even more so losing you has been so hard for Jimmy and I. You gave us a great year of laughter and great memories. I will always remember the great Christmas’s that you and mom gave us and the traditions that our family had growing up. I could write a book of the things I remember growing up. The holidays will never be the same . I hope the Christmas blankets that Jimmy and I gave you are keeping you and mom warm and your snuggling together. Jimmy and will always cherish the last year with you. May you be at peace and enjoy the day with Mom , family and friends. Until we meet again hugs and kisses.
Love always

Dad,
1 month you departed, the pain I feel today is no less than the day you departed. I’ve learned that people grieve differently some people need time to process that life will be different without our loved ones and others process by worrying what will be theirs now that their loved ones are gone. No possession can fill that emptiness . I just wish that I could have more time with my dad and mom that is better than any possession. Once I can process and able to accept your gone forever, I’m closing the chapter and will start my next chapter . Jimmy and I will be thankful for the year you gave us, you mad us upset, cry ,laugh and most importantly know how lucky we were to have you as a DAD that loved us so much. All I want is to remember both my parents and the happiness and live they made us feel.
Love
Tammy

Dad,
It’s been 3 weeks today and all I can do is think about you telling me a story and us watching a movie. Saturday was our movie day. I miss you and mom so much , things are just not the same without the two of you. I hope you and mom have a Happy Halloween.
Ps I love you both so much

Dear Dad,
its been 12 days since you departed it feels like an eternity , we miss seeing those beautiful eyes and that beautiful smile. I miss walking into the house and you pulling the covers over your face, it always made me laugh. I miss hearing your stories , it was like you were there reliving the moment. That alone was a gift to be able to tell a story and feel as though we were in the moment. You enriched our life’s in so many ways music, art, outdoors, and history the list is endless of the things you enriched our knowledge. My heart is broken without you and mom, no one will ever replace the two of you. I will forever love you both.
Love always
Tammy

RIP Uncle Jim. Now you’re on the other side with your loved one. My memory of you was after you went fishing, you cooked the fish for the family in the backyard. But one thing for sure, nobody could make corn fritters like you!
