I havent been on here for a very long time. It doesnt get any easier. Miss you even more than before. It is hard to write about. Makes me think of everything and brings up too many emotions. Everything reminds me of you. I hardly listen to country music at all. Too many maemories. Sometimes I am ok and sometimes I am not. But I am always missing you. There is a big ache in my heart always. Yet I know you are happy where you are. It is us down here that struggles with missing you. I love you to eternity and beyond with all my heart. Love forever and ever, BettyJean

Dad, wish you were here. It's Father's day. I took Chris and the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge and Crayola factory in Pennsylvania this weekend. It made me think about the road trips you used to take us on. We went over the Delaware water gap and I remembered when you took me and Frankie camping and canoeing there. Time goes so fast. It's a day like today that makes me realize how I must spend more time with the ones I love. Thinking of you always. Love you.

Happy Father's Day in heaven. Dad you are so missed. I think of you everyday & sometimes smile, sometimes cry. You were on my mind yesterday as I thought of what transpired before you left us-I feel you knew something but didn't tell anyone. And that's OK; that's who you were....a strong man who could handle anything. Thank you for loving me & believing in me every day.

Things have really changed since you are not around. Some relationships have grown while others have dwindled. Holidays & birthdays are not the same without you.
Thank you for coming to visit & to let me know you are watching over me – comforts me to know that you are happy where you are.

I found a penny today just lying on the ground but it is not just a penny this little coin I found. found pennies come from heaven,that is what I was told,they say when an angel misses you they toss a penny down some times to cheer you up to make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue ,it may be a penny from Heaven that an angel tossed to you.
