Dad, I know you are at peace. Waching your spirit weaken as well as your body weaken was hard to watch. Now your are in the light of the Creator, in the presence of those who loved you and in the spirits of those who miss you. Your love will always be with us. When the Creator welcomed you he received a great gifr. Any time you would like to whisper my name again it would be greatly welcomed. Eileen

Dad, It was so hard to watch your spirit weaken along with your body. Anew day came for you. A happy peaceful time for all of us.No more suffering, just being with those who loved you in the past and those who will never forget the beautiful person you were. The Creator was given a special gift when you showed up at his door. Any time you would like to whisper my name to me again would be wonderfully welcomed. Rest well, Eileen

Dear Dad, thanks for coming back to me so many times in the past year. I can't tell you how much it means to me, just want you to know I wake up to you everyday, I kiss the picture of you on my fridge quite often, (I should probably windex it soon). There are so many things that make me think of you but one especially is when my feet stick out the blankets at the end of the bed, you used to do your bed checks at night. I would let you cover my feet, then I would kick them right back out when after you left. I miss you everyday, I miss having lunch with you.
Keep coming by to see me, even if it's only in my dreams.
LOL hopefully I will see you tonight, if not we are coming to the cemetary to be with you tomorrow at 12:45 so please be awake and make us laugh.
Please tell a joke to Susie, Jessie just might want to play some cards.
Mom just wants to be with her love.
Brianna is making you another drawing to feel us.
