Dad,
Just came by to tell you that you are on my mind............. I really do not know what to say, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and wish that you were here. I will be putting your book online longer cause that seems the only way that I can talk to you. I know that there were so many thing that you wanted to do with your life and so many things that you wanted after you were gone. The only thing that holds us kids back are some of the things that you never filled in. We all love you and miss you tremendously, there is nothing that can bring you back. But in all of this we do not want to be forgotten. Again we all luv you so much and will always miss you and your goofy smile.... LUV YOU DAD!!!

Dad,
Still thinking of you. I miss you so much and wish that I could of had one last time to talk to you. I know that you are safe and with grandma now. But I really wish that you were still here. There are so many things that you should be here for, I just wish that things could be different. For your kids and all of the other lives that you touched. I really do not know what I will do when I can not leave you messages anymore. I think about you all the time and I sometimes think about what it will be like when I see you again. I know that sounds bad. But hey it is the truth. I LOVE YOU!!!

Dad,
Well today is the day that everyone is going to get together. Again I am sorry that I could not make it there. I hope You understand. I sure do miss you so much already. I just hope that it gets easier with time. You have so much to do while your up there, but between you and grandma i am sure you will get it done. I search for the right words to say yet none come to me. So here I sit just babbeling on about how much you will be missed and how much you are loved. I promise that I will be there this summer and that all of us kids will finish out your final wishes. We will put you where you loved so much to be. I am so sad that you are gone but I am glad that I had you in my life for the time that I did!! I LOVE YOU, AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU.
