I didn't know this was here till today. I miss you so much gramps. I think about you everyday and I am so happy we had such a close relationship. I cherish everyday we had together. All your trips to Florida and teaching me how to drive. You taught me a lot even if you didn't realize you were. My windows and fans need cleaning and I look at them and think about how intensely you would clean them for me when you'd stay with me. Sierra won't repaint her room either. I'm so grateful to have so many memories and I'm so happy Sierra has the memories too. We all miss and love you soooo much. I can't believe it's been a year.

Its been one year since the passing of my Dad and the sadness lingers. I miss you and at the same time the feeling of pride at being your son grows stronger and stronger. I miss your face, your smile and your presence at 171 Fairlane Drive, the home you and mom built for your family.
I hope there is wine and zugu in heaven because that certainly is where you are.
See ya Dad, I love you.
Your first son.

Rita Jean

March 9, 2009

Hi, Daddy,
I can't believe it's been a year
since you went away
I guess what helps me out the most
is I think of you every day.
At home, at work, or in my car,
I feel you close to me
and think how happy I will be
when again your face I see.

Hi, Dad...I really missed you today. I was at the house with Frankie while he was working on the deck. We are all doing our best without you, but the void will never be filled.
You must be thrilled that Alex is out of "that school" and loving his new one. Laura is looking at colleges and Frankie will be starting his freshman year at the high school with her as a senior! I hope he joins the fencing team...I think he'll like it. I love you, Rita Jean

Dear Frank,
Life is very different here without you. Even though I didn't get to see you much, I knew you were here on this earth. Now I see you in a beautiful sunset, precious bunnys and the new baby! You would be crazy in love with the Nasim and Xander. The kids are coming along, stay close. As for Ann, you are always with her. Laura would tell you she loves you if she had a computer. I love you Oh, have you seen how tall Frankie and Alex are?
Love to Mom & Pete

Hi, Dad
I hope that you are at peace. This is so much harder than I could ever imagine! So many "what-if's?" go through my mind each day, but I saw you getting more and more tired as the last year wore on. You stayed as long as you could and we will cherish each and every moment.
