Dad,
I'm always missing you. I wish you were still here so that we could enjoy all the things we used to enjoy together like sitting by the fire drinking beers. You probably wouldn't like the beer that I'm drinking now but I know you'd at least give it a try. So much has changed since you've been gone but I'm sure you know everything that's been going on. Jameson is getting big and I still have to bring your other grandson to you. I can't wait until he's old enough to learn about his grandfather. We miss you so much here. I could really use help with this house. I know you'd be a huge help lol
I'll be seein ya, Dad.
Love,
Your son

Dad,
It's been 2 years and I think about you every single day. I miss you so much and love you so much! It's really hard not having you around... On the bad days, but mostly on the good days when I'm doing so much and I just want you there to talk to you about it all!!! I know you were my biggest fan and even though I'm not on Broadway (yet), I am doing a lot and always remembering you as I do it!!! I love you!! See you Sunday... Me, mom, & Jarrod are coming cemetery to visit!! XOXO Ashley

It seems like only yesterday you were taken away from us. The past two years have been very hard without you here and for every forward step there are always two steps back. There is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind and in my heart. I will love you forever and never forget all the good times we shared as a happy family. They say time heals all wounds but that is yet to be seen as for me the emptiness is unending. I just want you to know that I will love you always, me xoxoxox p.s. the baby still looks for you when we ask her where's DADA ??

Dad, I miss you so much right now. So much time feels like it flew by these past two years but when I get a chance to slow down and breathe, I get overwhelmed by how you're not here anymore. How many moments I wish I could still share with you. It hurts so much still. I wish you were still here so much. I love you.

29 years ago today it was a very special day. The day we started our family. Jarrod stopped by and I told him his special story and sang "You are my sunshine" off key as usual. I even got him to let me rock him for just a minute despite his procrastination. I wish you could be here to share this time with us. You will forever be in my heart. I miss you so very much. I will love you always and forever, me xoxoxox
