Hi Daddy,
I just wanted to tell you mom starts her treatments Monday.I want you to watch over her and be with her any way you can. you have a talk with the man up stairs and ask him to make sure mom gets through this.You know I will be with her every step of the way no matter what it takes. But give me the courage, strength and patiences beacause I will need them all.I just hopes she fights as hard as she says she is going to. I know I am going to fight this battle with every bone in my body. There is no question about that one.I guess I have even been a little over protective of her. Hum wonder where I get that from.lol U know I have alot of you in me.I wish you were here but I know this is something you could not handle very well.I know how much you loved mom.I just hopes after this mom worries about mom.She needs to put herself first. It has been a rocky road.Sis is ok thank god.The lump on her lung is nothing. I was so worried but no matter what you know I will always make sure Jayden is well taken care of.I havent heard about her test they done on her heart but I have faith everything will be fine.Meleaha keeps talking about her papa and how much she misses you.She cries for you dad.Your memory is very much alive in all of us.Tyler still has alot of issues with you being gone. Jayden loved you with his whole heart. We all do.....I think of you every minute of every day.You were the best dad. I thank you for that.just remember what i said in regards to mom.Be an angel above her for as long as we have to fight this battle. This isnt a battle I will back down from so lets get ready for the fight of moms life.I am ready to take this fight head on and I will fight right beside her the entire time.Well I need to get some sleep have to go with mom to chemo teaching.Lots of love to you and miss you so much.....

Hi Daddy,
It is kaye, I need you to be with mom.She has encountered some serious health issues.She needs you dad. Please be her gaurdian angel and watch over her and protect her from what ever is trying to take her way from us. I need mom here with me. Her grandkids need their grandmother. I am so scared for her. We have already lost you and we cant lose mom.That is so not fair.Please ask God to make mom better and take this tumor away. Let a healing miracle happen. This just cant be happening to my mom.I just wish you were here to be by her side even though I know in my heart you couldnt deal with this.But we need you dad please be there.I love you so much and need to talk to you about all of this.I cant take this I am ready to lose my mind but I am trying to stay strong for mom.I just keep praying and asking God for the courage and strenght to deal with all of this.That is all I can do unitl Thursday.Mom is here with me now and I am glad she is.That way I know she is being taken care of.Surround her with your love and put her in a bubble to protect her from everything that is trying to harm her.Please battle with god to reverse whatever is going on. Mom is a good person and she doesnt deserve any of this. Why is this happening to her? I just cant understand dad I am struggling with this.Well it is late I need to sleep.I love you and please fight for mom like you alway have.xoxoxoxo

Daddy,
Its Kaye, Today is my Birthday and I wish you were here to celebrate with me.I went to the heart doctor yesterday and he is worried about me.The two arteries in the back of my heart are closed and they cant fix them because they could rupture and that would be bad. So he said he hopes the medicine would help.I am so scared dad I wish you were here to comfort me. Ever since my heart attack I dont feel like myself. It is difficult to explain.I just miss you so much and need you more than you know. You are my rock dad.I love you more than life itself.Life is so hard without you here. Just think dad I was born 34 years ago and you were only 17years old. Oh I wish we could go back to the day I was born. We could do so many things in are lives differently and maybe you would still be here.I love you and miss you so much.Happy holidays to you.I am almost ready for christmas but it will never be the same without you.I know in my heart you will be waiting for me with open arms when my time comes.I almost made it to you dad when I had my heart attack but I guess God still has plans here on earth for me.My job here on here is not accomplished yet,I must have alot to do so I better get busy.LOL I would love to see you again and feel your arms around me.Hear you tell me how much You love me.Oh how I miss your words of encouragment,determination, and just you being proud of me!!!!!!!!!!! It all meant so much.Good night and I love you.

You were the best husband and father any woman could ask for. I had it made with you. I miss so much about you. Ronnie i am lost without you. you were my everything.I think of you all the time. I sit and cry because i miss you so much.I look at your pictures often. It is so hard for me to carry on but i know you would say i need to be strong for the kids and my grandkids. we love you and miss you soooo much! I love you and i am sending my love to you on your birthday.Hugs and kisses my love.Your my #1 always and forever.

Hi Daddy,
I just wanted to say Happy Birthday and tell you how much I love you and miss you.I think of you everyday and you are always in my heart. I thought as time past by it would get easier but in reality it only gets harder.My tears flow like a river that will never run dry. Your grandkids miss you more than you will ever know. Tyler is struggling really bad and he is in counseling trying to deal with the loss of his grandpa. His pain is so servere but he is finally starting to open up and talk about it. Dad you were so important to these kids.They send you birthday hugs and kisses. Your tombstone is finally on its way. I think you will be impressed. Sorry it took so long to get it but mom was having a hard time because that was the final step. jayden still loves his papa to. Meleaha still enforces all your rules and chase walks around with your picture. We are telling him all about you even though he didnt get the chance to know you.Your memory is very alive in each and everyone one of us. We talk about you all the time. Dad It hurts so bad. I needed you here with me.You were the best dad ever and i am so angry inside that you left me.Why do the good dads have to go while the ones are left here on earth?That just doesnt make any sense to me. I had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and was so scared but in my heart i knew you were right there beside me the entire time because that is the kind of father i had.My kids were scared to death. But it all worked out. I love you daddy with my whole heart,body,mind and soul.Happy Birthday to the best dad in the world!!!!!!!!!!!

My prayers are with you all, I have been searching for you for a few years and could not remember what house it was.. We were talking the other day what a great husband and dad he was.. Not a day go by when you were with (Hoot) Ronnie he always talked about his Sherry and his kids.. He was a loving and caring man, When I was gone for 5 years he always stoped in to check on my mom and son, Even brought his truck over. I am in shock to find this out. Your are so Missed and loved by many... Sherry would love to come see you call me.I know Cathy would love to see you and Melessa.. R.I.P the BEST MAN EVER!!!

Love and miss you ( Squirrel)

Babe, It is the holiday weekend and we went swimming for two days. All the grandkids were there. David's son Chase loves the water just like the rest of them.We will visit your grave tomorrow.I love you more than words could express. I wish you could see how much are grandkids have grown since you have been gone.Chase is a little ronnie made over.Everyone says that is so true. Chase kissed your picture tonight. He was so upset because his daddy went night fishing without him. I could see you and the boys fishings together. I love and miss you. You wouldnt believe how big are oldest grandson is. He is lost without you.Good night honey.

I wrote you a entire page on her anniversity date but I dont know why it has not been posted to your guest book. I have contacted them to see what the problem is. I am trying to get to the bottom of this. I wrote to you at 2:29am the time they said you passed. I shed many tears and expessed all my feelings to you. I talked to you as if you were listening to me as you always have. I miss are converstaions so much. Your guidance meant so much to me.I loved your encouraging words of wisdom.You always taught us to dream and take each steps to accomplish what we had are mind set on. I am so glad you were my dad and I am proud to say you were my father. The best man in my life. Daddy I miss you so much. Today was such a hard day since you been gone 3 years. I love you .

My tears still flow like a river that will never run dry.My heart is forever broken into a million pieces that cant never be repaired.My life was changed forever. I know i am an adult dad but I need you more now than ever before.. I miss your hugs, confidence, encouragment and direction most of all. I cant sleep tonight because I still have that vivided phone call from mom the night she called to tell me something was wrong with you replaying in my mind. I never imagined you were gone. Daddy I dont understand why it had to be you when you loved us and wanted to be here on earth to care for your family. But god only wants the best. There are so many people he should have taken instead of you.I disagree when people say as time passes it will get easier because my pain is still dark,ugly cold and unbearable at times.I think it is harder because your not here for us and I am reminded daily.I never left your side that morning dad, I held your hand and wiped your tears that flow one by one away. I felt the warmth of your body which i knew I would never again do. I never left you daddy until i had to.That was the hardest thing I ever had to do was let go of you.I held your hand he enire time. I talked you to and wished you could come back to me.You made are world turn, you were are sunshine in everyday, and are rainbow in the sky. We lost so much on the morning of May 17,2009.Daddy you were the lion in are jungle, the shark in are ocean and the pit bull walking the street ready to protect your family. In other words you were the most important person in are lives. These grandkids keep your memory alive daily.They miss your cooking, the respect you demanded and the displince you gave.There is not a day that goes on that your grandkids dont talk about you in a highly manner.They love you papa paw.Mom and I went to the grave and put flowers down to express are love to you. I hope you and hear me when I talk to you because I do it quite often. Even though you are in heaven I sill ask for your guidence and expect you to listen to me dad. I love you more than I could every express on this computer.You were a man of your word and I thank you for that. I miss you so much and so does the rest of us. We all love you dad. I like to look at the brightest star in the shy at night and think it is you looking down on me. Good night

Dad,
It's me I wanted to say I love you and tell you were starting to get a move on the house and making some repairs. We are all falling apart since you have been gone. You were the center of are world and you kept things together.We needed you dad.David is finally breaking and it is not good. We are so worried about him.You need to put your arms around him and embrace him with your loving arms. He is so lost without you dad. I think we all are.Noone can understand until they lose a parent what the pain is like.It is everlasting pain that never goes away. you can tuck it beneath you heart to hide it for a moment but thats about it. I am so sorry about your tombstone because it is taking so long but mom hasnt been ready for that finally step.I promise it will be there this spring. It is just hard that will tell us how true this really is. Something I believe we are still in denial.We do love you and want your marker to tell the world how important you really are to us.I miss you so much. The kids let balloons up into the sky for you dad at jaydens birthday party.They are missin papa to.Hugs and kisses xoxoxoxo

Hey Dad
Its me just sitting her thinking about you and wishing I could just pick up the phone and call you. It's hard not having you around. I miss you so so much. My heart is broken in a million pieces and it will never be put back together again until I see you. It hurts daily. When I open my eyes in the morning until i close them at night. Does it ever go away. I just can't understand why my dad when there are so many others that dont deserve to live. Fathers that walk away from their babies without looking back. At least I can say my daddy was around until he took his last breath. I dont care if I'm adult or not I still needed you everyday. I'm lost without you. I miss taking to you about school and important decisions I had to make. I miss your advise.You were always at home so when we needed you you were never far away.That was your purpose dad not to many dads were sittin at home waiting on the kids to need him. That meant so much dad. Just knowing you were there at anytime, anywhere,anyday for any thing. I love you more than you realized. I wish I would of told you so much more. You were the best and nothing less.

A heart of gold stopped beating
Two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten,
To others just a part of the past.
But to us who loved and lost you,
The memory will always last.

Dad,
Well I waited up just so I could wish you a Happy Father's Day. I wanted to start writing at midnight. I have been at baseball with your grandson all day. I am so proud of him. I know he wishes you were here to watch him play. I tell him to hit that ball all the way up to heaven for grandpa. He was a big hitter tonight dad, you would be proud of him. I miss you so much and I wish I could hug and kiss you this Father's Day but I cannot and it hurts terrible. I have thought about you all day. I hope you are ok and doing good. Tell everyone I love and miss them so much to. Tell mama Meleaha misses her so much. The kids are struggling with all this dad. They miss papa more than you could ever imagine.Your kids are hurting inside with so many questions that we will never get answers to. I just dont understand dad. The pain is not getting any easier as the days go by. I am fighting this feeling that just keeps lingering inside of me. I try to keep my head up but it is so hard. I need you dad and your not here. Why did you leave me?????? I needed your help with my kids. They are getting older and they needed to know papa dont play. I know you could just give them that look and they knew you meant business...I just knew in my heart if the road got rocky you would step in if needed. I just wish I could bring you back home to me. I know that sounds selfish but I love you and want you here with me. Dad I am struggling with this and I dont know how to gain control. I cry almost daily and I try to hide my feelings from everyone thinking it will get easier as I adjust. Dad I listen to your voice just to hear you say I LOVE YOU KAYE!!!! I miss the phone calls dad. I miss your hugs and kisses. I just miss you altogether. I want you to know I love you will all my heart. Happy Fathers Day. Love all of us.

It is hard to believe today one year ago you were laid to rest in the green pastures. This was the day we had to say that final farewell to a wonderful father. It is so hard to say goodbye to that face. It has been there all my life. Babies recongize their fathers by voice and chilren recognize them by face. Ill always have that face hidden in my heart and soul.So I can embrass it the rest of my life.Love and miss you

To My Dearest Family,some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I dwell with god above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember, that I'm with you every morning, noon,and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said,"I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly, You're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because
you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you would'nt understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over, I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb: but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain... then you can say to God at night..."My day was not in vain." And now I am contented...that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made someone smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free, remember your not going... your coming here to me.

Dad,
We went to church today in loving memory of you. It was very nice. The service was awesome. You were the first one pastor Tim announced and we were not ready for that one. it was difficult at first when they showed your picture. I believe everyone let tears flow at that point. As time passes it seems as though the pain is still very intense. I wonder if it ever becomes easier to cope with. I cant imagine how I would of deal with this if I were a small child. I needed you dad and I still needs your guidence as an adult. I just hope you are in a better place because I will see you again in heaven when I get there. Bub even went dad. I was so proud of him. I can't believe you were so right.You said he would follow. We also had a real nice dinner at church. I love you so much.

Hey Dad,
I just wanted to let you know it is about 2:30am in the moring on Tuesday and you are on my mind. I am sitting here thinking about how much I miss you. I am going to miss writing to you on this guess book. I just will be lost because this is my way of talking to you and expressing my feelings. okay this is my way of dealing with this whole situation of you being gone.As time passes it doesnt get any easier so why do people think time will heal the pain. My heart feels the same as it did when i was holding your hand and rubbing your arm. You know I never left your side until I had no choice.I was just wishing it were all a dream and I would awake to hear your voice letting me know its alright. I know I have had several encounters with you dad and I want to continue hearing your voice when I am sleep. Sometimes it is like you are right here with me in the same room. I believe in my heart you are my angel that is like a shooting star up above our beautiful sky. At night,I found myself looking to the sky to find the brightest star and wonder where you are, i hope not to far. Dad the pain is so deep, powerful, and itt makes me so weak. i feel as though I cant overcome this grief. i love you!

I thought I would say hello and tell you that I love you once again.It has been 10 months to the day that you left us and it still hurts like yesterday.Sometimes I find it hard to carry on without you.Dad you were my strength when I was weak, you were my voice when I couldnt speak,and most of all you were ready to caught me when i sarted to fall.I know I hurt you when you thought I gave up it all but I promise I will pick up where I left it all. I loved it when you listened about school you made me feel as if I had it all.The encouragement and beliefs you shared with me.I promise I will finish what I started and make you so proud. We miss you so much. Your grandchildren are all following papa's rules. They talk about you so much. you wouldnt believe the impact on their lives that you really made. There is not a day that goes by meleaha or Tyler forgets to mention your name. Your family had more respect for you than you ever realized. You did make a huge difference in so many of our lives. Thank you for everything you taugh me as a father. I will forever cherish those memories. Sadly missed but never forgotten!!!!!!!!!!
