Hi Daddy...I've been thinking of you as usual. I really need your guidance right now...I've been alone with not much support from family or friends. I have been living on my own for the past two years and taking care of the kiddies like you know I always have, but it hasn't been easy. I am having another rough time in my life and I need u your guidance now more than ever. I will be going to visit Thurman's memorial soon...I keep your ashes out next to my bed..I hope u hear me talk to you often. I know you must be disappointed in me because of some of the choices I've made but I am really trying to pick myself up and keep moving forward...if only you and Thurman were here my life would be so much different. Now I have nobody and it scares me so much...I'm all alone...of course I have my kids but it always helped to know I could come to you when my life became a little hard to deal with. You always made me realize that it wasn't as bad as it seemed and I always had tomorrow to start over. I love and miss you more than you know Dad. Please give me a sign that you are watching over me. I miss my big bro up there too...and Grandmom n Pop..Uncle Harry n Uncle Bobby...Uncle Bupper n Tommy...and Billy too. Can't believe you are all gone...I hope to see you all again one day. LOVE YOU ALWAYS DAD xoxo....

Hello Dad, I cannot believe it's been 3 yrs. since the last time I saw you. We never even went a day without speaking, so it's still hard not to be able to tell you things, get advice from you, or just to hear your voice and be in your company. I love and miss you and Thurman more each day. There are so many things I wish I could tell you. I am just content with knowing that right before you were put on life support for the second time, I realized that I needed to tell you everything I wanted you to know. I am so very grateful that I had the chance to tell you how happy I was to have you as my dad and how much I love you. I wanted to make you feel at ease and not to be scared to join Thurman, Pop, Grandmom, Uncle Bobby, and Uncle Harry, etc. Although I wanted you to stay here on earth with me, I knew that you were fading fast. I feel good in knowing that I got to tell you..."If I lived ten more lifetimes,I'd still want to have you as my dad". I still remember the way your face looked and your reaction when I told you.....and I know you heard me cause I saw your tears running down your face. Please know that I will carry on your memory and pass it on to your grandchildren and all who love you so much dad. I hope you can hear me as I pray to you often. Please let Thurman know the same goes for him. As you would always say I Love You Always! Until we see each other on the other side I will forever keep you, Thurman, and all our other loved ones in my heart. Miss you forever :'( Love Your Daughters, Danielle & Bridget xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Dad, I am sorry that I have not written in your guestbook since last year, but I know you hear me when I pray to you almost every night. I can't express it enough how much I miss you and Thurman....I still get so depressed and angry. I know that you wouldn't want me to feel this way, but it hurts so bad that I just can't help it. I think I have to go back to therapy or start going to church again(I know you would do a little chuckle to that). I don't know if therapy was even really helpful to me. I guess my heart is always going to have a few missing pieces. Frank and the kids are the ones that help me to stay strong, but you know that I often fall apart when nobody is around. I always think of when I was a little girl sitting on your lap listening to " The Doors" and of course our favorite "The Beatles" and although it was one of my favorite moments in my life I still can't help but break down and cry. Sometimes I can't even listen to their songs because I think we should be listening together....I feel like you should be here with us enjoying the life that you once had here with us. 52 years old is still too young to go. I just hope you know how much I love you Dad and I will carry on your memory until I am with you again! I miss you more everyday. The kids miss you too...they always talk about you all the time even Vinny...he knows you are his Pop-Pop because I keep pictures up of you and Thurman. Even though he was only 10 mths. old when you passed, he knows Dad. Watch over Mommy because she is sick with leukemia...I know you and Thurman both will guide her and watch over her. I hope to see you again in my dreams...they always seem so real I guess it is your way of telling me you are okay. I Love You Daddy!!! Talk to you again real soon! Love Always, Your Daughter Danielle xoxo

Hello Dad, Wow....I can't believe that it has been 1 year today since the Lord took you home to be with Him and all of our other loved ones we've lost. I miss you more and more as each day passes. I think about you everyday and I always tell stories to everyone about how you always made us laugh. You always had a special way to keep me from being down and sad. I know you are happy to be with everyone up in heaven that you missed so badly. I know you are with Thurman and you both watch over us always. I have a picture of you both together.....it's my favorite picture of you both together.I miss you both so much! It still hurts so bad Dad......everytime a holiday comes or one of the kids birthdays and especially when I just want to pick up the phone and call you. I know you know about Brenda and Bob (from cornwall st.) losing another one of their boys, Matthew went home to the Lord in 2005, and now Stephen has just passed on 2/26/09. It is so horrible Dad.....I know you are in heaven with them also so please tell them to watch over their family, especially Brenda. I'm sure they are, but I want them to know that I think about them alot too and I pray for them. About 2 weeks ago they had "Beatles Day" on wmgk and I listened most of the day, but I broke down in tears mostly because I know if you were here you would be calling me to tell me to listen. St. Patty's day is the day I sent you off to be with our Lord.....I wanted to honor you on that day cause I know that is how you would want it. I just hope you hear me and know everytime I break down and cry and how much I miss you! I know you were sick and I didn't want you to be in pain anymore.....I did everything the way I knew you would of told me to do it. I just want you to know that no matter how many years that go by I will be missing you more and more and I will carry with me my memories of you forever! I LOVE YOU DADDY! SAY HELLO TO THURMAN AND EVERYONE FOR ME.....I LOVE YOU ALL! LOVE ALWAYS, Your Baby Girl Danielle xoxo

Hi Dad, I am sorry I haven't written in a while.....but you know I stay in touch through my prayers.I can't believe it has been 11 months already since you've gone away to be with the Lord and our other loved ones we've lost. I feel you around me alot......I think of you everday! All the things you would say to me, advice you would give......I will keep all your words with me forever! You were the Best Dad and Grandfather anyone could ever have. God blessed me when he gave you to me! Please watch your grandchildren and I, I want to always feel your presence, whether it may be a song you would sing or the scent of you I want to embrace it forever! I love you Dad and I miss you oh so much! Rest Peacefully until I am in your arms again! Love Your Baby Girl, Danielle

Hi Dad, Well yesterday was your birthday.......and I really wish you were here to celebrate it. God I miss you so much, sometimes it's so hard for me to keep it together. I know it sounds selfish but I want you here with me! You had so much to live for......I know we've had our tradgedies Dad and we lost so many of our loved ones, but you had Me and Bridget and you had your Grandchildren. I just really hope you are happy where you are......I hope you are with everyone watching over us. I hope it's all true about what people say about "Heaven". Cause when it is my time I want you to come for me......I want you there Dad......You will always be my Hero! It's still so hard for me sometimes to listen to "The Beatles" and "Rod Stewart".....I think of you singing that song that always came on the commercial "when I was younger"! Well I hope you hear me at night as I cry and pray to you......I LOVE YOU DADDY.....HAPPY 53rd BIRTHDAY!!! Tell Thurman I miss him so much too and take care of each other up there! LOVE YOU! Your Baby Girl, Danielle xoxo

Dad, I just wanted to tell you how much I Love You and Miss You So Much! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you! I know you probably met up with Uncle Butchie up there in Heaven. He had such a tragic death, just like you.....but I know that the pain and sorrow is gone and you both are at peace. Take Care of each other up there......I know you both will......you both had hearts of gold. The song by Billy Joel is def. true......"Only The Good Die Young". I talked about you alot today to Angie and Francine cause I feel their pain too.....they love their Dad so much just like Me and Bridget love you. Please tell Uncle Butchie I love him and I am so sorry I did not see him more. I miss Thurman alot too.....I talked about him alot too today. I just hope you both know how much I miss you both. It felt good being with my family today and also over the weekend, I spent the weekend with Aunt Judy and Lil' Harry(although he's not so little anymore) he is growing up into a fine young gentleman......Judy is a great Mom.....I know you know that. I feel you with me alot Dad.....I know you are by me! Please continue to watch over our family......you are my guardian angel.....and I am so lucky for that! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!! REST PEACEFULLY UNTIL I AM WITH YOU AGAIN! LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR LITTLE GIRL DANIELLE

God saw you getting tired
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come with Me".

With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
Your tender hands at rest
God took you home to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Safely Home
by Unknown

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

I just want to thank everyone for their condolences and support. This has been the hardest thing in life I have ever had to do, being with my Dad at his bedside everyday and feeling helpless. He was so sick and my sister and I were there in his final moments, and it has been the hardest pain I have ever had to endure in my life. Not only have I had to watch my father be sick, I was his sole caretaker and I had to make the hardest decision anyone would have to do in life. I have made all arrangements the way my Dad would wish and want it to be, it has been hard for me especially because I have been the one responsible for the decision making and the arrangements, and on top of all this I just want my Dad here with me so much! He is my heart, my soul, and my whole world. I have done everything the way I know he would tell me to do it. I thank you all again for your support. ~DANIELLE McNALLY~
