HAPPY BIRTHDAY
February 5, 2014
Hi Dad, I forgot to thank you for all the pennies from heaven you've sent. I was able to find $7.64 and am giving the 7.61 to her,the other three are the special ones you remember. I can't ever let them out of my possession. Well we are realigning our goal and efforts. Mama did not want to go to assisted living and has finally admitted it. Boy did we go through a lot to help her come to the realization. I now am coordinating with the VA for in home care like mine. I am going tomorrow and de-clutter and store all her yarn and furniture into an environ safe of trip and fall hazards. I am cleaning out the bathroom and storing everything for cleaning in the wash room. I am getting rid of all the pots and planters she no longer uses and will begin to tackle her library and work with her to thin it out. I'll be making a list of anything not accomplished and plan it and get it done. We are also going over budget and bills and I have taken over all her banking so all she needs to worry about is if she can spend it all before she comes to be with you. We have also instituted a savings budget in case of the need for assisted living. I'll have 10K by years end and from then on she can move whenever she wants or needs to. We already found the best facility and she likes it there.
LOVE YOU
February 5, 2014
Hi papa still working diligently to get mama into assisted living. Am arranging in home care with the VA and a woman from church Jennifer knows and is helping me so much. I'll get the 8500 saved before years end thanks to your sacrifices. My HERO. Korean War Vet, 100% totally and permanently disabled vet, Service officer and past Post Commander with DAV activities. Volunteer hours of more than 7,500 in service to other vets, and a lifetime of pain and sickness. The overwhelming good you have done has now permitted mama to get the help she needs through VA benefits for you sacrifices. You uniquely served in the Marines then went into the Ohio National Guard, then the 101ST Airborne, USRA. I can only emulate your self sacrificial giving for mama. you know my health and finances. I do without for her. I have honored you and exalted mama. I'll rest with you and my marker will be inscribed, "Honor thy mother and father" I put mama first but love you both, I wasn't only your friend and son but your idol. That still left my adoration of mama, being a mam's boy. I was your Army vet, successful electrical contractor, and loved son and friend.
THANK YOU ALWAYS
LOVE YOU BUT FEEL YOU HERE SO NOT MISSING YOU SO BAD.
February 4, 2014
Hey buddy, I am doing my very best for everyone's sake and peace. You know it all and I know you're here with me. Please visit mama.
Love you.
January 26, 2014
Sorry I keep thinking of something. on a lighter note I need to catch you up on this thing of late, they call a bucket list. I think it is a list of everything you want to do before you die. The only thing I think of is the old scouting song, THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET DEAR HENRY A HOLE.I never wished for anything you didn't provide for us. I got no bucket list I still have done everything I wanted through your love for us. I have had the best life anyone could wish for even through grief sickness and pain. My memories and the love we share now as your loving family have been better than any child might dream of.
THANK YOU MY DEAR FATHER
January 26, 2014
Hi dad missing you but know you have been here as I struggle with this pain and sickness. In your life and after your death I have honored you and have now been able to get mama long term assisted living. She can finally be taken care of instead of the hard life she has endured because of her wonderful love for all of us. It is time for her to be exalted to this level of retirement and constant care she will not allow any of us to provide. WhenI asked her if she were finally ready to retire she seemd confused and said I AM RETIRED, I then paused and asked again if she were finally ready to retire and stop hurting herself and receive the assistance she needs in the environ she wants. She is excited to move there and thanks to you again she will receive VA help and we hope to get her to her new home in February. I know you'll help me to arrange everything and give me the ability to focus and complete this, thus positioning her for la dolce vida. Mama has had such a life of grief and sickness and pain I now need to make it all rainbows and bliss. I love you and thank you for your constant help and hope to see you soon.

Hi Dad,
Please visit and reassure mom that she is ok. I have faith that she is. The pending tests will reveal the cause of her problems and that there are no malignancies.
Please watch she doesn't fall and take her worries away.
Jenn has offered her a place to live and I have also. I think mom want's to go to assisted living when God calls.
We know through you and our prayers she is ok.
Love you dad,
Mike

Hi Dad,
You know that your children walk in faith. We know we'll all be together again one day. We'll also accept God's will when each of our times come, with the knowledge that we are going home.
I recall the young Levite Priest's response in Judges 18:5-6,
"... Inquire of God, we pray thee, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed. And the Priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the Eye of the Lord."
This journey, our lives, over which He watches, will succeed, and we'll be redeemed to eternal life with you and all our dearly departed.
Love you for teaching us.
Miss you buddy.
Michael Neptune
September 18, 2013
Hi dad, mom is not well and we all need you to help, please.
Dad, can you please ask God to let you visit mama today?
She misses you so much that she prays for this every day.
All she does is worry too much about our daily struggles and such.
She needs a visit and your gentle touch.
Please daddy, ask God now.
Mommy needs you in every way.
Papa please watch that she doesn't fall any more and these sudden health problems.
Please also ask God, that if He is calling, please do not let her suffer.
She is a Godly mother who has sacrificed for us since she was very young. We could not stand to see her suffer. We will accept what God has planned but hope He would hear our prayers.
I love you and also, can't wait to be with you again.

Michael, That was so beautifully said. He was the best there could have been!!! I know he knows we were all right there with him brother! He lived his life so sacrificially and we can be assured that because of that his rewards are abundant in Heaven! Even though we still feel the sting of our loss now someday we will all be together again and see him healed & renewed!!! I Love You Michael. And I Love You Too Dad You're The Best!!!! This Candle is For You Michael Because of Your Pain & Suffering in Body & Heart!!!

Hi Dad,
I haven't written in a while but I am moved to tell you something here not just in our daily talks.
When thinking about your going to be with God, I think of Abraham, you too will have descendants as numerous as the stars. But I really think of you in how Abraham went to God.
Genesis 25.8
"Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people."
We didn't get 175 years but you lived life to the fullest and blessed us always in every way.
I have a lifetime of great memories thanks to the way you lived and provided for us. My youth was so fun, motorcycling, fishing, camping, YMCA, Boy Scouts, trapping, hunting, so many I can't even remember them all at once. Oh yea, hiking, canoeing, and building the motorcycle in the basement. Then we had so much more fun coin collecting, metal detecting, playing in the casino, playing the ponies, Halloween and all Christmases and Thanksgivings, and barbequing.
You filled our lives with so much pleasure that when God called it hurt that much more because of how great you were to us here.
I will always miss you but am glad you did not suffer long, just wish I got to say goodbye before you had to go.
you know I would have told you I love you and would miss you but was happy for you, no more suffering.
LOVE YOU FOREVER.
February 26, 2013
I love you and miss you

Hi Dad, we'll all be together missing you while celebrating our fifth Christmas since you went to heaven. I can't imagine the celbration there, more spectacular than the church shows we went to. The last one we attended was the story of a newly widowed woman and her sons, and it acted out some of the very things we struggled with our first year without you. Now each year your pressence is fealt more and more as our love for you grows. I found something to share here at this Holy time of the year.
"Every day without you, since you had to go, Is like summer without sunshine, and Christmas without snow.
I wish that I could talk to you, there's so much I would say, Life has changed so very much since you've went away.
I miss the bond between us, and I miss your kind support, You're in my mind and in my heart, and every Christmas thought.
I'll always feel you close to me, and though your far from sight, I'll search for you among the stars, that shine on Christmas night.
Love you, Mike.
Have a Blessed Christmas.

My dear father, thank you for guiding my actions and leaving me a penny from heaven to let me know it was through you God Blessed me.
I'll now relate for everyone else what we did today.
With insecurities mounting about the condition of the old Dodge, and consideration of potential upcoming expenditures related to it's maintenance I acted on my driving compulsion to buy a new car. I settled on a Kia Rio, 2013. PERFECT CAR. So on back to the story. After making the deal I needed to go home to get title and empty the truck. Time running out the dealer said bring title now, leave with new car and bring truck back tomorrow after emtying it. Time was still impossible due to distances, but then the U joint on the rear of the drive shaft broke less than a mile from the dealership.
Stressing the trade made may effect the deal and leave us without transportation.
Not what you accepted for me though, instead the dealership kept the deal exactly the same and took the truck in trade without consequence since the deal was done and they wanted the sale and did not want to redo the financing documents.
So after AAA tows the truck in, We leave in the new one. As the truck drops the old Dodge, your penny flickered and aluminated brightly.
THANKS DAD ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS BUDDY
MISSING YOU

Henry;
Father,friend;
all my love forever,
without end.
"I REMEMBER"
Life was dear when you were here;
Now that you have gone;
Everything's so wrong.
The love and joy you gave;
Now is from afar,
As distant as your grave.
Time goes on but heals no grief;
We hope our time apart is brief.
For then we are together; forever.
Love and miss you,
Mike

We could have never known how hard it would be without your presence to comfort us. We know you are there intervening for us in all our prayers and needs, that is our comfort. Missing you is so painful; a testimony of our love for you, forever.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND WILL BE WITH YOU WHEN IT IS TIME; UNTIL THEN,
"YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, FOR THOUGH WE ARE APART,YOU ARE ALWAYS AND FOREVER ALIVE WITHIN MY HEART".

Uncle Jr., I can't believe it's already been 3 years since you left us. But I know you're getting things ready for us in the everlasting life. So much has happened here, as I think you're aware of. I'm sure they're all things that prepare us in one way or another for our final journey. I know the Lord continues to work on me. I keep my heart & mind open to His Holy Spirit all the time. It usually catches me with things I need to change in my own actions & behaviors. Most of which have come from a past of being a survivor of many things. But, I never want to stop learning & improving my life.I'm my own worst critic. I do miss you & know we will meet again. Until then, keep the Angels watching over us. Love your niece, Carla

Hi Dad, Happy Memorial Day! I Love You & Miss You. I am at peace knowing that you are in no pain and I look forward to the day when we will all be together again in a place unimaginable. So until that day I Praise God every day that I had you for the time I did and for the love You and Mom taught us as a family. I also Praise Him for Your salvation and for your heart of gold because there is no doubt in my mind or heart that you are in heaven walking with Jesus every day. So Dad I am finally at peace with your passing, though my heart still longs to see you, and I do miss you terribly, now I'm just thankful that you are in the heavens waiting for us and watching over us. I Love You With All My Heart, Jennifer

Hi papa, mama is back from her vacation and brought us all very nice gifts.
In particular is a beautiful etched mirror with this nice inscription.
"HIS SMILE"
Though his smile is gone forever,
And his hand I cannot touch,
I still have so many memories,
Of the one I loved so much.
His memory is my keepsake,
With which I'll never part.
God has him in His keeping,
I have in my heart.
Sadly missed but never forgotten.
I love and miss you.

Dad, as we grieve this Fathers' Day I have something to share with you that Pastor Dan had in this weeks Evotional;
The strength of a man isn’t seen in the width of his shoulders. It’s in the width of his arms that encircle his children.
The strength of a man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice. It’s in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn’t in how respected he is at work. It’s in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn’t in how hard he hits. It’s in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn’t in the hair on his chest. It’s in his heart that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn’t in how many women he’s loved. It’s in being true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn’t in the weight he can lift. It’s in the burdens he can carry.
These and so many more things we love you for and will miss.
Thank you so much for being my father, truely the world's greatest.
Love,
Michael

Hi papa, I need to share with you something mama wrote as we mourn the anniversary of your passing.
"We never thought you would leave us so soon.
We didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.
The pain we feel is a daily reminder of how much we miss you.
All we have now are our memories of you and we cherish them all.
Knowing you are free from pain and in God's merciful care helps to ease our pain, and assures us we will all be together again.
So goodbye for now, all our love, your family.

Hi papa, I am sorry to burden you with all the requests I make for your intercession on our behalf. As you know we need help for Aunt Wanda as she strugles to overcome the cancer. Aunt Jo suffers greatly from pain that morphine will not abate.
I must also ask that you help me to accept my third major loss in the past year.
I lost you, my job and now face losing my home. Pray that God will help me accept this and be able to go on.
I miss you and as you know think of you always.
Love, Michael

Hello Grandpa-Can you believe that game? Even though they didnt win, they did great. Almost, next year they will go somewhere. At least the made it. Well Chris' surgery went great, the dr's say that he doesnt think it is anything to worry about. I am going to start looking for a job again soon, things are kind of shaky. I get nervous about maybe getting laid off. I go back to school tomorrow. The kids are doing things, Ayrelle is in Cheerleading, and Brandon is in Karate. They really like it. Well I will go for now, I love you Grandpa. I miss you very much. Love Maria

Hi Dad, Well Dad it's Christmas Eve and my heart is heavy from missing you. Things are just not the same without you here it has left a huge hole in all of our hearts since you've been gone. We will be sending you your balloons tomorrow so be looking for them. I bought mom a present from you and Rural finally finished her smoke stand for her. Michael and us bought her a puppy too shes a bit of a rascal though. I wanted to get her a dog to keep her company but she picked a puppy so hopefully this puppy grows up fast cause its like having a baby. A lot of work. It's been real hard since you've been gone but it's especially hard right now Dad. We sure miss you and love you and we always will. You will be with us forever. Merry Christmas Dad, I Love You.

Hi Dad,
I know you are doing well and want to thank you for helping me with the answers to so many prayers.
Thank you for Rural's recovery and for baby Junior doing so well now.
I desperately need more of your intervention.
Justin is to be released in February and Christopher is to have surgery and a biopsy, and I am struggling to earn a living due to my lay-off. Deear Aunt Jo has a lenghtly recovery and rehabilitation after her accident.
Remember us in your prayers so that we will come through with God's Grace, too.
Thank's for being my best friend, and source of reassurance and support for all these years. I knew a comfort when you were alive that I miss now. I guess your son had to grow up and face this harsh world when the doctor told me that I needed to ready mama and the girls to say their goodbye's. When they told me you were suffering I fealt an overwhelming need to rush to the end. I now struggle every day with that decission and pray I did what was best.
Wish me luck in my seach for employment, especially for the Director of Operations position I am hoping for. Continue to watch over and comfort all of us in everything we do. I am hopeful things will be better especially with our new President and the recent history making election.
Your loving son,
Michael.

I miss you so bad and I know everyone else does too. Some days are harder than others but it's always there constantly missing you. Well that's all for now. I love you and miss you, Your Daughter, Jennifer
