Grandpa, it's been almost 3 years since you've been gone now, and it went faster than I had ever imagined. Happy Late Birthday even though we were celebrating for you, on your day. We had Roast at Mom's and Dad's and we were all together..something I know you would have liked to enjoy, but I know you were watching us. :) It sure isn't the same without you or Grandma, and we're all healing but not as fast as anyone said we would. I don't think anyone that loses someone can compare their pain to any of ours. I can't imagine anyone being as close to their Dad or Grandfather like we were to you. Just wanted to say I miss you and I miss you picking on me! Love Always, Valerie

Grandpa, it's been a year and it's just as hard as when it happened. It really hurts and I think about you and Grandma at least 300 times a day, I swear it. You have been the most influential people in my life and that's why I have such a lasting memory or memories of you both. I miss picking on you so bad..I miss hearing your laugh and seeing your smile, how few and far between they were..haha. :) I know you are so happy with Grandma now and that's where you belong is by her side, forever. We are all really missing you still, though, and I know you watch down on us and make sure we're okay..you and Grandma both. We just got a house and I wish you could see it ..or to have you sit on the dock with me, would have been the best gift of my life. I wish we still had you here but we don't and I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU and while we're sad today, you're celebrating because it's the day you got "reunited" with Grandma. :) I miss you so much,"FRANK",Your #1 Grandaughter, Valerie

Grandpa i wish that you were here to give some words of wisdom because i know that you would know about getting deployed . It was hard yesterday seeing him leave . I know that you would be tuned into CNN every min watching to see what is going on overseas ! Miss you bunches ...

Grandpa, this was the hardest birthday of yours ever. It hurts for me not to be able to call you and pick on you and tell you "Happy Birthday". Mom tells me that you're celebrating with Grandma up there, and I know it's true, but I can't help but be selfish. We got through Christmas barely, but we did it and it was so hard, without you sitting there, opening presents with your pocket knife, just to aggrivate..haha. I wasn't there the first Christmas without Grandma, but I heard about it and I know that you and Grandma saw all of it this past year. You are our Guardian angels and I cherish you in my heart forever. I love you and miss you always.. Frank!

This was the worst Thanksgiving ever. It seemed like just yesterday you were sitting on Nancy's couch laughing and smiling and watching all the kids play. You weren't there to carve the turkey either. I sure do miss you Grandpa. I think about you all the time.

Grandpa, (Frank) :)
I can't believe its been a year since Grandma has been gone and it has been 12 1/2 weeks since you have been gone. I miss you so much and miss hearing how you're watching those "damn liberals" on CNN. I watched CNN for about two weeks more than I have in my life because of the Sniper and I kept thinking in my head what you would have been saying at that whole mess, and it made me laugh. Not the situation, but how you'd get so bent out of shape at the latest news. I really wish that someone would call me and tell me this was all a nightmare with you and Grandma gone, because I have dreams almost every night that you're still alive, and then I wake up to find that it's not true. I can't wait to see you both again..but until then I will take care of Casey and the kids and keep them "happily plump" as you used to say you loved to see kids! haha! I know that I disappointed you and Grandma so much and worried you and I am so sorry..I can't take back any of my past, but I can say that trouble isn't in my name anywhere anymore. Now its just bad bad memories. I wish I could have repaid you and Grandma for all that you did for me, but you knew that I just couldn't put into words how thankful I am and was then. I hate to hear of someone that takes their Grandparents for granted or they aren't talking to them, or they NEVER go to visit them..I hate that. There will come a day and they'll regret it and that's something I'm so glad that I don't have..any regrets. I just wish I would have let you fly up here to visit because I guarantee you would have gotten tired of watching cartoons and kid's shows! haha! I love you so much and I miss you so much and until we meet again, try to refrain from asking Jesus when they're getting cable, okay? :)
LOVE YOU FOREVER and always in my heart and my daily thoughts,
Valerie

Grandpa, (a.k.a. Frank) ,
Its taken me this long to write this because I am experiencing the worst hurt I have ever experienced with my "buddy" gone. I know you are happy with Grandma and I shouldn't be so selfish like I told you, but I miss you so much. You were everything to me, as was Grandma. The pain won't go away, and it will be a long time before any of us can "accept" it with a smile.. I can guarantee you that. You and I had that special bond and not because I was the first born grandchild but because Grandma taught me how to talk to you..when you'd sit in your Lazyboy with that "sour puss" (as Grandma would say) I'd make you smile, or even laugh. I feel so bad that some of the grandkids were so intimidated by you because you were the biggest Teddy bear I've ever had in my life..just had a hard shell appearance. I am going to miss you picking on me and your advice and stories and lectures, even. I love you so much and can't we until we are all together again. Until then, scratch the back of Grandma's neck for me.. :)
Love Always & Forever,
Valerie

How blessed is the family whose parents are granted long life. Florence & Hilton established generations of love and good memories.
I stand by my sink every day and look out on God's beautiful wetlands and bay. There by my window is the clock Hilton made for me. I think of him with his quiet smile and Florence with with her hearty laugh & I am blessed all over again. They are alive in our thoughts.
Love, Judy

I think about you every minute of every day, Grandpa. I just want you to know that you are the strongest man I have ever known and that I will always look up to you. Thank you for being such a wonderful Grandfather. I am sorry that I never had children that could have gotten to know you and love you. That is one of my biggest regrets. I love you, Grandpa. Stay straight!

When Mom died, I thought it was the worst time in my life. Now, with you both gone, I realize that this is the worst time of my life. Someday I hope to find the answer to "why?" you left us when you did. You instilled in all of your kids, love, compassion, determination, and the genuine meaning of "family." I miss you very much and will cherish our memories. I know your at peace now, with Mom by your side. Someday we will all be together again--hug Mom for me. I love you.

Cleve and I feel very blessed to have called Hilton "Uncle". Every now and then God sends someone special to us for awhile, Florence and Hilton were both so special. They made you feel happy just to be with them. Our love, thoughts, and prayers go to his four kids and their families. We love you all. Cleve and Gina

Grandpa is at peace now and Grandma is finally reunited with the love of her life. They are both looking down on us from Heaven. Their love is strong enough to keep this family together and help this family get through the hardest times in our lives.
Thank you for everything Grandpa. Thank you for all the Christmas's, all the birthday's, all the support, love and advice, and thank you for giving me an angel for a mother. Life will not be the same without you. Take care of Grandma for us. I love you and I miss you. You are my hero.

We were so sorry to hear of your father's death. I enjoyed working with him at Ft Eustis and talking to him since then. I know how much you will miss him.

Dear Rowe Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I know how much he loved all of you and your mother and now he's with her. I remember your parents joking and smiling with one another - they seemed to know what each other was thinking. I remember your father always being ready to help out any of the neighbors and how he helped put air conditioners in our "new" home's windows at 1411 Dorene when the temperature was above 90 outside and in the house. I can see him standing by the fire hydrant that I painted like an Indian and having coffee on his camping store when the street flooded. Even though I moved from the neighborhood sometime ago, I will always remember your father and mother and you kids as you married and started your own families. You all are in my prayers. May God Bless each of you and bring you comfort. Peggy
