Pop pop... I will miss you dearly. I feel like our relationship had really bloomed since g-ma passed. I was looking forward to your visit to texas and riding a donkey lol... I will cherish all our funny chats about the auction and weather and all the funny stories about all of our past. Oh what I wouldn't give to just hear "hello dorothy" when I call your number or to sit a watch a Walker Texas Ranger show with you and have a cup of hazelnut coffee. I know your in a better place now and all your pain is gone. You are truly missed and I love you so much! Tell g-ma and Haley I said I love them and give them a big hug & kiss from me.

To Dave,
I was greatly saddened of hearing of your passing but I know that you are now in a better place and not suffering anymore from that awful disease called cancer and that you and Marge and Joey are all hanging out and you got to finally meet your great granddaughter Haley. Please give her a special hug and tell her we miss her.
Thanks also for giving me a special man your son Jeff who has been such a good husband, father and kind gentleman all his adult life.
He really misses you and loves you ever so much.
Your Daughter in Law Debra
Thanks for all the memories and have one hell of a time in heaven with Marge, may you forever rest in peace and remember "We all do in Texas" We will always remember you in our hearts forever and just think one day we will meet again in Heaven. Don't worry the kids and grand kids will be fine and we will all keep in touch when we are gone back to Texas.

To Dad, I just wanted to say how wonderful it was for me to see you this past father's day. You were my inspiration and you taught me the meaning of being a real man and a Father. I will always cherish the wonderful memories that we shared together. Don't worry about us kids we will be OK. You have no more worries now because you are in the best place that you can be in, and that is with Mom and Joey. I love ya and will miss you very much. I am also very proud and it is an Honor to tell everyone that you are my father. Please give Mom,Joey, Grand Ma, and Grand Pa a big Kiss and Hug for me. Love Ya Always and Forever Jeff.

To my Father, I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful Father and Friend you were to George , Matthew, and I. It was a tough road for you when Mom passed, but you fought. It was a tough road for you battling Cancer, and you fought your heart out. You were as tough as tough could be. No more fighting its over finally. You are with Mom and Joey. I am so proud to have had a Father like you. There will never be a caring,strong,pig headed,funny,hard working person like you. You lived your life your way. Now you can be with your loved ones in heaven. We will be ok. I LOVE YOU DADDY AND WILL MISS YOU DEARLY. May god hold you in his arms forever. Love your Little Sweety.

Uncle Dave was my favorite Uncle. He was a principled man who lived life his way, with humor, conviction and zest. He had a strong devotion to family, was very proud of his children, and loved his wife (Aunt Marge) dearly, I am sorry I didn't get to see him once more before his passing. May you rest in peace, darling Uncle Dave. Big hugs and healing to everyone, especially to my cousin Donna, a true angel.

To the LeMel Family
I know you don't remember me but your dad worked with my dad (Joe) at Shoprite many years ago and our parents used to get together many years ago I remember spending time with Debra and Donna if I remember correctly you girls are twins. I am sorry to read about your dad it wasn't to long ago that my mother (Arthea) and I were reminising about all the old friends and your parents names came into the conversation. Please know that our loved ones never leave us they are always watching over us. All my thoughts and prayers are with you and your familys in this time or sorrow.
