Well, dearest, it's been so long since you passed away. I'm still missing you with all my heart. It's been 17 years since you left me to reunite with your brother, mother, and father up in heaven.

It's been almost 16 years since you passed away, my dear. Oh how I miss you -- it seems more every year that goes by. Hoping that we are reunited in heaven, my darling.

Well, darling man, it's been 15 long years since you left me -- and that's truly bogus. Over the past 15 years, your granddaughter has grown up, and you now have a great grandson. How I wish you were here to enjoy them. I miss you so . . . Hasta la vista, dude!
