Cannot believe it's been 11 yrs since you left us. It doesn't seem that long ago that you gained your angel wings. Miss you every day. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Love you dad and miss you so much

Tonight we all lit candles not to grieve but to celebrate the good times we had together. So as we close this book tonight, our hearts and memories will remain open for a life time. This is not good-bye only a short seperation for we will be reunited one day. The circle will not be broken. Forever Loved and Missed.

Dad this is the last time I will get to post on here in memory of you. Tomorrow is 1 year from the day you left us. I wish I would've known then what I know now so on this day a year ago I could've spent the final hours with you and tell you how much I love you.But I know you have been with me a lot through the year and will be for the following years. This has been really hard for me and everyone. Kaleigh is doing great in soccer. She is such an awesome goalie, you would be so proud of her. I have been trying to help mom out as much as possible. I just can't believe it's been a year already. Time has went so fast. It seems like yesterday when I got the news you left us. Sorry no one was there to help you, maybe you would've been here today. This is like saying goodbye all over again. The pain is still here and probably always will be. You were a great father. You taught me so much and did so much for me. I couldn't have asked for a better father. Thank you so much for being there when needed. It didn't matter how much pain you were in you would still do stuff for me. I LOVE YOU DAD and MISS YOU VERY MUCH. R.I.P. Soon we will be reunited again. Until then I know you will be my guardian angel and watch over me all the time. My thoughts are with you everyday. Love you daddy.

It's been a year since you went away, but it feels like only yesterday. I still don't know why or how, but I guess that was God's plan for now. So I'll go along day by day, until God calls me home to stay. God sent his angels to watch over me, they're called friends and family. I miss you and love you.

Happy Valentines Day dad. I hope you got mine and Kaleigh's balloons that we sent up to you. This has really been harder and it gets harder and harder as each day passes. I'm glad you have been back with me again at nights while im sleeping. Its been awhile but your finally back again. I miss you so much and wish there was a way to bring you back. Things are not going well at all so im glad to at least have you with me still. Love you dad!

Happy Valentines Day Benny. I placed a ballon at your grave site today for Valentines Day. I know you were never big on these holidays. But you know I always did something. I make it through one holiday and another one seems to pop up bringing the heartache back again. Just wanted to say "I Love You". Things have been pretty rough lately but I'm getting by. I miss you and wish you were here. XOXOXOXOXO

My Dear Husband, I am lighting a candle for you they say it helps the pain. I am missing you so much this Christmas Holiday. I go through all the motions while trying to hold back the tears. I know I should be happy cause you're spending Christmas with Jesus this year. So I say a pray for each of us that God will give us Love, Peace and most of all his Grace this Christmas Season. Buddy has been having a hard time this holiday cause he didn't try to get the presents like he always does. I came to the cemetary today to see you and I asked for you to help us all get through this holiday even Buddy. I know you heard my prayer cause when I came home Buddy opened Charlene's gift. LOL!! I was so filled with joy to see that. Merry Christmas Darling and Happy New Year. I love and miss you.

Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights, are like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, so please wipe away that tear.
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year!
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
The sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, Love is the Gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
May he comfort those of you who are missing a loved one this Season.

One of the special joys of December is telling others we care and remember, so I am writing this message to you. Bill sends his love and he wants you to know he misses you. I know that he is hurting more than any of us will ever know. Please give him a sign that you are still beside him as the two of you always have been.
Bill, the kids and I will again enjoy and laugh about the stories of "the twins" while celebrating Christmas Day. Come join us for a while if you aren't too busy...I will have the coffee on.
Bless you and I will see you again.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. If heaven wasn't so far away I would pack up the kids and go for the day. I would bring a Nascar and take you for a ride, only if heaven wasn't so far away.

Hi dad, its me again. Yesterday was 3 months of you leaving us. Its been a real struggle for me. Now with Christmas approaching its getting even harder. Christmas is not going to be the same without you this year. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or cry over you. You have a beautiful wreath on your grave this year although i would much rather have you instead. Your time came way to soon. Kaleigh is doing pretty good. Took her to your resting place on Thanksgiving and she took that pretty hard. Her team is in first place AGAIN in indoor soccer. Tomorrow is their last game for this session. I know you'll be watching her. Her team has been unstoppable this year. You know the only thing i want for Christmas this year is you. I know that's impossible but i do know i have you in my heart. I know its going to be very hard for mom on Christmas morning with you not being there. Let her know your there. I know you will be and I know you'll be with all of us. Me and Michael are trying to do what we can for her. Unfortunately with my foot i havent been able to do much but Michael has done alot. I know uncle Bill has helped some too. I love you dad and i miss you so much. I can't wait for the day to see you again. I know you'll be back soon to see me. Seems like whenever i call for you, you seem to come to me. I love you so much. RIP and Merry Christmas Dad.

Benny we missed you this year for Thanksgiving but you were here in our hearts. I know God is watching over us and continues to comfort us. Buddy is doing better but he still won't go in the basement much. We've been getting things done around here slowly but surely. Michael got the shed up and Michael, Jenny and Tonya painted the living room and hallway. You would be so proud of the kids. They've been a big help. It gets lonely but the dogs keep me company and sometimes we just go down and sit on the couch to talk to you. I kow you're looking down on us and telling us you're doing fine and not to worry. But that doesn't take away the pain and lonliness. I just pray that God will continue to bless us and one day we'll be together again. Until then remember that I love you and miss you.

Benny I can't believe it's been a month already since you left. I still go to the basement and look over at the couch expecting to see you there, but I know you will no longer be sitting there. There's times i think i have to call you and tell you something but then I stop and say wait I can't. I seen Dr. Uselman Monday when I went over to the hospital and waited with Patti while Bill was in surgery. He said he just couldn't believe what happened and he was so sorry. Buddy still won't go down the basement and he just clings to me from the time I get home till I go to work. He really misses you. We all do. I'll probably never know what exactly happened but I do know that you looked so at peace and I believe you are trying to tell us all that you're ok in the dreams that Jenny's been having and Kaleigh's. I know they are spirtual contacts and that tells me you are where you need to be, in God's loving arms. I know that God is watching over us down here and giving us peace. I was at church Wed. evening and the lesson for the children was so fitting. Peace: I Trust God In Difficult Times. I believe that was meant for me on the month of your passing. I miss you and I love you.

October 19, 2011
Dad its hard to believe that this day marks 1 month of you leaving me. Everyday has been a struggle. Even though I know you have been here with me and Kaleigh at times, its still not the same as if you were here physically with us. Even though you are no longer in pain, the pain I have missing you is unreal. Everyone tells me this will get easier but I don't see how. I knew this day would be the hardest, just like any holiday or your birthday. I just want you to know that I truly miss you everyday and there is not a day that has went by that i have not thought about you or cried over you. I wish I could have been there with you when you decided to leave us as there would have been so much to say to you, like "I love you". Knowing you went alone tears me apart. Wish someone could have been there holding you so you wouldn't have been alone and possibly scared. Sunday I watched the race for you, Matt Kenseth won. Michael is taking care of stuff that you left behind that never got finished. He's been working on the shed and he even yelled at himself at times cause he knew you would yell at that point, lol,and he's gonna fix my van hopefully. He's not sure what you had in mind for the lines underneath but he's gonna try to fix. Kaleigh has a soccer game Monday the 24th. Be there with her please and let us know. A win or tie and they take season league champs. You made it possible for her and the team in Cincy for tournaments. Make it possible again. You always said you needed to go to more of her games and now your able to. RIP dad and i miss you and love you very much.

My brother, when we spoke on the phone a few weeks ago, we didn't know it would be the last time. The rain hasn't stopped since you left, "tears from Heaven" is what I am told they are. Mom doesn't tell much about your passing, she knows it was you in the casket, all she says is she will be with you soon. Her facial expressions show sadness & fear that your twin will leave soon too. I can only imagine how Jenny & Michael feel. I hurt for them too. I miss you & I love you. Your baby sister.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. As I read all the entries I know that our family is blessed with so many loving and caring friends. It is going to be a long road ahead but I know God will get me through. I know that Benny is no longer in pain and for that I am grateful. I only wish the pain could have been removed in his earthly body. I hold on to my faith and know that one day we will all be reunited with our loved ones if we put out trust in God. No one knows why he had to go now but we can only speculate that the surgery ahead he was going to have would be more then he could handle. So God said he has suffered enough and it was time for him to go and be free of pain. I will miss you so much Benny. It's hard to believe we were married for 38 years. Buddy, Jasmine and Chloe really miss you, but don't worry I will take care of them. Until we are together again remember that I will always love you. PS - tell Dad and Charlie "hi" and I love and miss them.

September 26, 2011
Dad, it's hard to believe today is 1 week since God took you away from us. Even though i know you are no longer in pain, i still miss you being here. I know you were at the soccer tournaments with us. I seen you there. All the signs, with the full rainbow over the field, kaleigh predicting 2nd game to be 6-0 and she made the 6th goal and that game ended 6-0, and then on the championship the heart in the clouds that we seen. You are sending lots of hearts out. Linda's arm and the clouds. we know you are here and watching over us. I love you so much and i can't believe its been a week so far. It still doesnt seem real. I watched Jeff Dunham last night just like you would have. He was funny, just like you were. I know you would have laughed at his show. I wish you were physically here with us. I don't know how to go on without you. You were always there for me no matter how sore you were from your back. I just wish i could have you back. I want you to know how much i love you and miss you. Tears have not stopped. Thoughts and memories have not stopped neither. It just doesnt seem real. I keep waiting for you to answer the phone when i call and tell me to call mom on her cell like you always did. But i'll never hear that from you again. Wish there was a way to turn back time to one week ago. I would be there with you so i could have saved you or at least be with you so you werent alone when God took you. I love you dad. R.I.P.

Dad, i get to see you today again. please bring me the strength as you watch over me. I miss your smile, touch, laugh, jokes, everything that made me laugh and smile. There are so many things i have not told you or shared with you. I don't know what im going to do without you. You were always there for me no matter what. I'm so grateful to have a father like you. I wouldn't have traded you for anyone. One day we will see each other again. Until then, please help me heal. I know you do not want me to suffer and hurt, so that's why i'm asking you to help guide me. Your time came way to soon. Kaleigh is holding up strong but give her the strength to get through this. Wish you were here for her graduation, wedding, birth, you know all the stuff you were here for me on. I have so many memories that i will treasure all my life. I know you are in no more pain and i'm sure your grateful of that. I love you dad! You'll always be with me!

Dear uncle Benny, I have so much to say to you I don't know where to start. First I want to thank you for all the great memories. My memories start from the time I was 3 or 4. I can remember you coming home from work and stocking the freezer full of ice cream, you mom and dad playing cards till late hours, taking us camping, being there at my graduation( you never thought would happen), and most recently coming over for a cookout to eat that flat hamburger made just like Wendy's. I can't believe your time has come. I don't think I have ever told you that I LOVE you but I do. You will always be in my mind, thoughts, and prayers. Please tell my grandpa and aunt carol that I love them and I will see you all sometime later. Love you forever and always. Linda
