Daddy,
It has been almost a year, I miss you so much still. Thanks to the values, ability to "PPA" a problem, handle difficult situations with compassion and strength, all things you taught us, i have survived the most trying year. I can feel your presence with me always, pulling me on to the next task- never letting me give up. I love you Daddy. Thank you for everything.

Hi My Daddy:
Do you have internet wherever you are? Tomorrow will be 7 months since you left us. It is still a blur and numb without you here. I miss your stories and your humor. And your cooking! Mostly, I miss being able to call you for just the right answers. I love you. Debbie
