It's been 2 weeks, yet the fact that Dad is gone has yet to hit me. If I can say I've learned anything from this experience it is... Live Good, Love Long... and Regret Nothing. My Dad lived a pretty good life. He loved a long list of people. And there were no regrets.
I'm gonna miss fishing, playing poker, the good food and all of the laughs. But I know that he's in a better place! Love ya Lots...Miss a Much...Buckwheat (Karla)

To My Family,
I love you all and I know Grandpa is watching over us. He is in a better place and I am proud to say that is my angel! I miss you so much, but I know you're always with me. Nothing could ever take away the memories that you filled my life with! I can't imagine how I would have turned out if you weren't my grandfather! I love you Grandpa, and you never ever be forgotten!
