Dad,
I miss you so much. So much time has passed since you left and life has never been the same. Since you've been gone, Mom came to join you, and this week so did Glennie.
Now the 3 of us here will continue trying to make you proud, and look forward to the day we see you and Mom again.
Thinking of you every day and still looking for you in the moon.

Pop,
You are so very missed by us all. Holidays used to be very special, but's that's because YOU were here to share them with. Now, they're just another day. Another sad day of missing you, your smile, your laughter, your presence.
Til we sing together again...
All my love

Tomorrow will be 9 years Dad. 9 years since the world was robbed of one of the greatest men ever. We all miss so much. Im glad youre at peace and without pain, but Id give anything to be able to have more time with you. Although tomorrow will bring a flood of emotions to us all, just know we think of you EVERY day...not just on the anniversary of your passing.
Life here has changed so much, but as long as we all breathe you will be a piece of it and included in everything.
I miss you. I always will.

Poppy,
Time has not healed the loss, or erased the memory of you. We all continue to keep you in our thoughts. I never knew such emptiness until the day you were taken. I look forward to the day we dance and I see that smile of yours again. I miss you, SO much

Pop,
Thinking of you and missing you in a way I miss no other. I love you so much and long for the time I can see that smile again, and share another song or dance. None of us have forgotten you, and we never will. I pray you're resting easy.

Another day, just like every single day since you've been gone. We all miss you so much and constantly think of you and hold the love for you and memories of you so dear. Oh, how I wish we had more time together. Another hug, another smile, more advice and a listening ear. Til there is no more time or days on this earth, I'll miss you and long to spend time with you again.

To my Uncle Gummy,
I miss and love you so much words can not even express I wish you could be here with us but I know you are with God and you are not suffering anymore. But I wish heaven had a phone so that I could call and talk with you dad,mom and joey and all of our other family members that are in heaven with you. Please give them all a hug and kiss for me. Love you Uncle G.
Love your niece Julie

Well Pop,
We're a week out from the 6 year mark. Holy cow. I do not know how we've all made it without you. I can only assume it's by following the lessons, legacy and advice you left for us. I so very much hate that cancer robbed you of more time, and robbed us of you. However, I do know and take comfort in the fact that you're not suffering anymore and that is a great relief. This year, knowing that you'll be joined by Aunt Mary is also a comforting thought. I know how much you two loved each other.
I'm keeping my word to you as best as I am able, and will continue to...God willing. Sometimes I wish so bad we could share another hug, another talk, another glance. One day we will Poppy, one day.
See you in the moon tonight, and feel you in my heart always.
Your little girl,
Terrie

It's coming up quick dad. The anniversary of that painful day we physically lost you. 5 years. 1,825 days to be exact. Just know, not one year, one day, one hour, one minute, one second one HEARTBEAT goes by that you're not thought of, loved and missed. You'll be with us forever, and I believe we'll be together again when it's time. You own my heart Pop, you always have.

Pop,
With Thanksgiving fast approaching next week, I'm contemplating what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for YOU and all the years, laughter, and love we shared while you were here. Im thankful for your name and the opportunity for my son John to continue to carry it. I'm thankful for the example you set, not only for me, but for my children about family and commitment. I'm thankful for the shoulder you always had available for me when I needed comfort or advice. I'm thankful for the memories surrounding Christmas and OUR 12:01 tradition. I'm thankful for the brothers you left with me to continue your legacy. I more grateful and thankful than I could express for you choosing our mother. As deeply and completely as she loved you, I know she does the same for us. I could go on and on, but I'll end this time with this...I'm thankful for the opportunity to witness your strength and dignity at the end, going out on your terms with no fear or regrets. We alway told each other, "I'll see you in the moon". Rest assured Pop, I look every night. I will until I see you again in person. I love you.
September 9, 2013
Its our anniversary today honey. You never once forgot it in 53 years togeather. I miss you so much it actually hurts to think about it. I know you are in a wonderful place now and that makes me happy. I will never forget you.

Another holiday, moment, day without you here to enjoy it with us. I always was told it gets easier with time. I can tell you, it DOES NOT. It seems as time passes, I miss you more than I ever imagined possible. I will spend the day remembering the times we did have and the promise for the dance you are holding for me in the future. I'll always be thankful for you and the time we did have. I can no longer break the wishbone from the turkey, as my wish just can't be granted.....for you to be here with us once again. You're in my heart, my thoughts, my day. EVERYDAY. I love you poppy.

Yesterday marked the third year we have been without you here. I still have a hard time with that and assume I always will. As always we had a toast for you and include you in anything and everything we do.
I just have to believe you flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels, by the clouds and stars and past where no one sees, and walk with Jesus and your loved ones who were waiting.
And I know you are smiling sayin': "Don't worry 'bout me"...

Well Pop,
Today is Leap Day. A once in a while day which reminded me of a once in a lifetime dad...You. I think about you often. I miss you more than words can say and at times, I still cry when I think about you. It feels as if it were yesterday you were still here. Here for me to ask advice of, here for me to share my hopes and dreams with, and most importantly...just here. You left too soon. Children are never ready to let go of their parents. For some reason we think you will live forever, and you always will in my heart. I hope you knew how blessed I felt that I got to call you my dad.
I dream of that dance you are saving for me. I'm practicing.

This was the third Christmas without you physically here to enjoy it with us. There was laughter, some tears, and lots of memories of previous Christmas celebrations with you. As always, we enjoyed a toast together to you - keeping your spirit and legacy alive. You will NEVER be forgotten or excluded from anything we all do. I look forward to a 12:01 where we are together again.

Well Pop, tonight your honey took all of us kids out for our holiday dinner. It was a nice evening and we all enjoyed each other. The only thing keeping it from being a "perfect" evening, was your absence. We miss you Pop, everyday...every way. You were in our thoughts tonight as you are every moment of our lives. Until we meet again, the rest of us will embrace each other the way you embraced each of us. Until the end of time, I love you. Always have...always will

Pop,
Last week I witnessed John graduate from the parade deck on Parris Island. Among many emotions that day, were thoughts of you and your time with The Marines. I was so proud of John and what he has accomplished, and I reminded us both throughout the day that you and Gene were as well. To experience the places you have been and then to see my son begin a similar journey was comforting for me. Thank you for being the guidance and strength to me - not only in life, but also in your passing. I love you so much and continue to walk my journey with you in spirit. Save that dance for me...I'm going to hold you to it.

I miss you dearly and am both sad and happy at times , remembering the times we spent together.I know you are keeping us all close to your heart, keeping us safe and still in your own way taking care of us all. Till the time we meet together ...remember I love you today,tomorrow and always.Rest easy Pop

I sit here thinking of you tonight and wondering what things you are now experiencing. It boggles my mind to know that all the joy and life we shared together here will be of an even greater quality when we are once again together. We all miss you very much. We try to take care of each other, and also visit you and make sure that you are taken care of as well. John is away now in Parris Island, experiencing those things in the same place you did so many years ago. I find comfort in knowing you are his guardian angel as he endures the challenges that he deals with there. Just as you tried to guide, encourage and mentor him while he was here, I know you are that soft voice in his ear now- giving him the motivation to continue. Watching him go through this stage in his life, I almost feel as though I have a window into your youth LONG before I came to know you. Almost like learning about you backwards in time. I cannot find the words to express the emptiness in my heart since your passing, but I look to the day when we see each other again and my heart overflows with love and excitement. Til then pop, I still look for you in the moon. Remember to look back. I love you

With Father's Day approaching this weekend, I can't help but think of you. So many years, so many memories. To me, your value deserved more recognition than the one "special" day per year. I pray that you are now at peace and enjoying the time with family and friends who were waiting for you there. One day we will again share time, which is one of the things in life I look most forward too.
Today as every day since your passing, I miss you. I'm sure I always will.

Pop,
I sit here today completing my finals and term papers for the semester. So many times, my work is interrupted with thoughts of how we brainstormed together in previous semesters. The business ideas, ethics, culture, and marketing discussions we had still play out in my mind. Having you input your opion, critique, and support during those times were priceless. I call on your spirit many times now to guide me through my work. You were right Pop, it was YOU who got me the A's.
I miss you. More than I could ever put in words.
April 17, 2010
I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. Now all I have are memories and a picture in a frame.

Uncle Glenn,
I am taking this last entry to write and light a candle as you have joined the Lord in Eternity for a year now. I know you are happy as we all should be for you. I know it is not easy to understand but I was really close with Aunt Joan and oh how I miss her. I couldn't sleep knowing that it was the date but I should have knowing that you are happy and with the Lord Jesus Christ. One day we will all be there too but being of this World doesn't make us any more human as now you are one of God's Angels now. I think that is totally cool. You showed me just what love for family was and made a life long impression in my soul. I will always remember......Love with all of me

Well today was a sad one for me. my thoughts were of you all day. I watched the day go by ever so slowly and watched time stand still as well. I miss you dearly and am always reminded of you in the things I do and the places I go that we shared together. I`m always looking for your guideness and remeber all the things you told me and showed me. I haven`t ever forgotten all the times we have shared or the things you taught me. I`m amazed that you were so right on so much now looking back. You put up a great fight and stayed so strong right up to the end. You make me so proud to call you my dad,to brag about you and to follow thru some of the same things you have. I hope you are at peace and rest easy,I know you will keep looking down on all of us and keep us strong. We will be together again and will walk the long road of life again,our heads up ,our clubs clean and our drives straight as well. Till then just know I love you and keep you very close to me each and every day..I love you pop...rest easy

Its been a very different year without you, I miss you. I have to say every holiday without you this past year, just doesn't feel the same. We all miss you dearly. We stopped by the day before Easter to see you and brought you some flowers, of course they were pink. I know for a fact you were looking down on me on Easter day for sure. I beat up on your son in the best round of golf I ever had. I guess you could say I learned from the two best guys I will ever know, you and my dad. Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about you and that I am thinking of you especially today. I love you!

Dad,
Today marks the 1st year anniversary of your passing. It must be your spirit which has given us all the strength to continue without your physical presence. There is not a day or occassion that we all do not think of you or include you. Although my heart is still full of pain without you, I find peace in the fact you no longer have any pain. You stayed strong for so long, and deserve to be at peace. Mom and I continue, along with the boys to support each other and stay close.
I am still working on finishing the things you assigned me. It brings me comfort.
Although my ability to write to you on here is coming to an end, I will continue to communicate to you through my heart and the unspoken language you and I shared.
Until we meet again on my day of passing, I leave you with one of your songs....Happy trails, to you

Uncle Glenn,
Service was off the charts today and I think you would have been rolling on the floor with laughter. I thought of you for a time during it when the silly's got in me as it opened up with a skit. You really would have loved the
punch and kick that the sermon gave today on the day that we celebrate Jesus Rising from the grave. The boys were in big competion after with 300 kids for the 12 or less football sized eggs filled with candy as all know my boys don't need help with the energy. They have the Calvert, well more of my father's poke with you spirit....it is mainly the older one. He is so much like your brother it is so challenging to me, as I am so much of my father as well. God knew what he was doing when he gave me one that didn't look exactly like me but has the Calvert personality like I. Whew thanks God for that. Now the little one has my softer side, the gentle caring side of me. The more thoughful one. You Angels were rejoicing today as the House of the Lord was filled with his presence. I am so glad to know you are with Our Creator. You gave it a good fight, a true, true, fight. You told me, I am not going anywhere no matter what those around me had said. I love your courage and fight. I will in your name be doing an extra mile for during relay for life in the fall. It is a walk for Cancer. I have to raise at least $100 dollars, for it. But I told my friends to post and whomever did I would do a lap, but for you how you always treated me and the way you were with my kids the last time I saw you, I promise four laps. And do me a favor tell Aunt Joan I look at her photo every day, and her pearl is worn around my neck always, as well send give her a warm hug from your niece...I love you. You have etched yourself so deeply in my memory, no one can erase it!=) Thanks for that!
We love and miss you dearly dad....The Boys

Uncle Glenn,
I really don't know how old I was when I first met you, but I will never forget the last time I saw you. You were so sweet to my boys and just wanted them so much to hug you because of your love for your brother Ronnie, my father it was so special to me you just don't know. You were fighting and you said just like the most of us, I am not going to give up! Your smile was there, your attitude was even greater. You taught my kids who Mario and Lugi are and now they play the WII and Sonic and remembered who taught them the about Mario Brothers. You should see how much they have grown, but I want to say from a niece to an Uncle, how special that was to me to want love from my children due to the bond my father and you share. I will never forget how special you treated them because they are a part of you, and now they are 8 and 7 and when they are playing that particular game I often can't help but to think of that day. You really touched me by just being you, but that impact you didn't know you were leaving when you left this Earth. I love you, now and always.

keep my treasured memories of you in my heart until I see you again.

One more day. One more time. One more sunset-maybe I'd be satisfied. But then again, I know what that would do...I be left wishing still for one more day with you.

Hi Pop,
Well the New Year is here. I`m still very much missing you and all you had to give and share with us. In the past months that you have been gone I can`t even explain how much I`ve missed you and your presence. A day doesn`t go by that I don`t go without thinking of you . Terrie was right in her last words...I had a very Blue Christmas without you here. We were all together and each had our own memories of you and what you did for us threwout our lives. Mom had a special toast to her honey and we will forever more. I`ve come by to see you very often and keep us together in spirit as we always were. My heart has a very empty feeling without you here and with us all but I know that someday we will again be together and continue our journey down the next lifes road. I want you to rest well in knowing that your family has come closer together and are helping each other as you would want and that we are taking care of " your honey ' as well. Rest Easy Pop...I love you
Forever Jim

Dad,
How can words even begin to explain my feelings as I get ready for our first Christmas without you here to share it? I guess I will have to refer to the same song which brought tears to your eyes when thinking about your mom during this time of year. I will certainly have a "Blue Christmas" without you. I do at least find comfort in knowing this year you will be able to spend Christmas with her once again.
So many years I can remember as you supervised the decoration of the tree and lights. I remember from the time I was a small girl how you would wake me up at 12:01 Christmas morning and tell me to "hurry" and wake everyone else up. Then, you would act as though you were sleeping so that I could get the blame and it would be our secret. The time all of us took the trip to Baltimore from Chicago on Christmas Eve, and you had us kids believing that the lights from a plane in the sky was the nose of Rudolph.
I can still remember the Christmas in Chicago when Ken & Karyn came with Jacob as a child, and the Christmas at Jim & Sheri's house when we took Melvin. I look at the pictures from those days and can see you were happy with everyone together.
I still have a stocking for you and always will. But instead of earthly presents, it is filled with wishes to see and hug you and hold you just one more time. That will forever be my Christmas wish.
I love you - very much.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching this week, we all have a big hurdle to get over knowing you can't enjoy the day with us. We do however have much to be thankful for when we think of all the memories we have had with you. Also when counting our blessings, we will not forget the battle you fought for three years to give us more time with you. You were a very brave and strong man. As I say my prayers before my meal that day, I will thank God for you and know that you will be looking down enjoying the sight of us all celebrating and sharing as a family. I look forward to the day I can sit at the feast in Heaven with you and again share not only the meal, but your fantastic smile. I love you dad.
ALWAYS

Pop, as I think about the anniversary of your birth tomorrow, I am enveloped with many thoughts. In your lifetime you experienced many changes and joys and you certainly brought many to us all. Although I will not be able to see you, my entire day as each since your passing will be spent thinking of you. I hope you celebrate your day by rounds of golf with Gene and finish with kisses from your favorite dog Melvin. I miss you terribly, but will spend the day thinking of the positive memories you and I shared, which thanks to you... were many. I love you Poppy.

Pop,
It has been a few months without you, and I must say it really hasn’t been the same. Family gatherings will never be the same. You were such a strong guy with an even stronger personality. We all miss you dearly. However I really enjoyed the golf outings with you & my dad, those were the days. Something else I could never possibly forget was you playing your favorite game of all, Mario. I love you.

Pop,
I've got to say it's weird having a birthday and you not being here. Although I know you're still around in our hearts and minds, i'm still not over not hearing you yelling at me to wake up in the morning. I think you still are though, seeing that every morning now I wake up almost subconciously at 10 am. Anyway, I wouldn't be here without you, so I can't thank you enough for the things you've done.
We all miss you.

Pop,
On this first Father's Day since your passing, we all really missed you terribly. However, as we contemplated the years passed and Father's Days shared with you-your memory was kept very much alive. Until we see each other again, know that you remain a father, active still in our lives here. Just as you influenced us before, the lessons you imparted to us still influence us today. As the song we used to sing together goes..."unforgetable, that's what you are"

Pop,
You will dearly missed, but never forgotten. Your legacy lives on in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. You leave behind loving family, and it is wonderful to see a part of you in each of them. It was an amazing honor and pleasure to have known you.

Thanks to Glenn I have 53 yrs.of memories,four children and 7grands and 1 great-grand. He gave me a fierce love of travel among so many other things. He gave me confidence in myself and I loved him dearly. We had a song (only you) and it was that way. Only him for me and him for me. I will miss him for the rest of my life.

Pop,
At the one month anniversay of your burial, we are all still coming to grips with your passing. The impression you left all of us in our lives and hearts takes us through every day. You were a tremendous example of strength and courage during your battle and were succesful in surviving years against the odds. Know that no matter how much time passes, your memory for us NEVER will.

There is no way any man will ever compare to the man Pop was. Mom and I had a talk the other night, and we came to this conclusion; although I probably shouldn't have wound up with the Calvert name, I'm glad I did. Now, it's up to us to maintain the name that Pop made so great. My only wish now is that I can do my part to make Pop proud.
To the man that gave me everything, we salute you. You might not still be here, but you'll always be with us.

Pop,you showed me God's ability to heal the loss of my father with the love and friendship of a second one. Thank you for being there for me and allowing me to know you. I will miss you but I promise to look out for mom and Theresa in a way which would make you as proud of me as I was of you. Goodbye Pop, we'll see each other again one day. I loved you DAD.

All of life's important lessons I learned from you. Treat everyone the same as you want to be treated, help everyone you can and love God and country, I learned from you. You taught me how to be a man and I thank God every day that he gave me your example to go by. I'll never forget everything you taught me as I teach it to my sons, your grandsons. I see you in them daily, so you go with me now as I told you that you would. I told you that I know you will be there to take me when it is my time, and until then I carry the love of and for the greatest man that ever lived. Til we meet again...
