16 years went by without you being here. Today I´m going to Nancy Carr´s funeral only 42 years old, I remember when Hobbs was born and how excited John was, now he has to help Finn through this nightmare. I love you so much dad and miss you every single day. This time of year is so hard especially when it rains I just bust into tears out of nowhere thinking about you in the hospital, the only thing I´m grateful for is that you didn´t know what hit you. You left us with your dignity and for that I´m forever grateful because nobody deserves it more than you. You were the absolute best father and no matter what, you were our rock. When you said don´t worry I´ll handle it I didn´t worry but now I´m lost. I love you so and cherish being your shadow.

15 years without you here, it's a whole different world without you. I know you would be head over heels for the Reilly and Addison they are so sweet and what keeps me going. I miss you so much and think about you every day it never gets any easier like they say, they lied. Continue watching over our family, I love you....your shadow

I can't believe it's been 13 years, it feels like a life time since you were here and we miss you so much every day. I know you have front row seats to this circus called life but so much has happened that you would be so proud of and we wish you were a part of. Johnnie retired it was bittersweet I wish you could have had that experience but God had different plans for you. Jr got the supervisor position so he will be on second shift, so now all my guys left me but I have Jack and Wayman, so much has changed and life goes on. my heart is so sad but I try to hold my head up, I miss you so so so much I talk to you every day, all day, nothing will ever be the same. I try to remember your in paradise and out of pain and worry but I really miss you like crazy. Your sister passed this year so I know your mom is happy she is out of her pain and she has a buddy. Please continue to watch over us, until we meet again, your shadow forever xoxoxoxo

This is always the hardest time of year I relive it every year. This year has been really rough so far its been one thing after another. The Coronavirus is really scary. Easter will not be the same Danny doesnt want to bring mommy germs because him being a mailman hes afraid of passing any germs to mom but yesterday we went and got Jrs girls and Danielle some treats for Easter. Cant even get Danielle her usual movies and nail gift cards because nobody can go out and everything is closed unless its essential. Mike has been in the hospital and isnt doing well at all thats been really scary hes had every complication going but the doctors and nurses are taking good care of him. I got mommy to visit Mimi and poppys grave we drove up last weekend and cleared away the over grown weeds and cleaned up theirs and Keiths grave we didnt make it to Grannys across the road mom wanted to get back on the road she did good in the car. I love you so much and miss you everyday always your shadow forever

May 27, 2014
I love you and miss you. I think about you all the time, it seems so long ago that you left us, life will never be the same, my first instinct is still to look to you for advice. I miss Sunday get togethers, every time I go to Jr's I think about you on one end of the sofa and Poppy on the other, I would have your candy there and you would sneak some when you thought nobody was looking. I wish you were here to enjoy your retirement with Nan. You would go crazy over Reilly, she is such a doll. She has your big toe for sure :) watch over our family, love always your shadow
April 3, 2014
We are coming up on 5 years in a few days, I miss you so much. Reilly will be a year old 5/2/14 you would just eat her up Michael is doing so good as a father, husband, and soon to be home owner :). Victoria is a Jr, next year she graduates and goes to college. She just went for her first SAT's and will be getting her drivers license in May, she is doing so good in school and she still works a Don's. Danielle is graduating this June and she will be starting a new schedule soon in the working world,the kids grew up so fast. Can you continue to watch over our family, I know you were watching over Nan when she was walking Bugzy last weekend, what a freak accident. Love you your shadow,
April 8, 2013
4 years since you left us, i remember it like it was yesterday. I love you and miss you so much. I know your in heaven and your out of pain and you have a front row seat to this rat race down here, we miss you. Your birthday would have been coming up I can see you in your office singing 'will you still love me, will you still need me when I'm 64' that was one of your last birthdays here with us. love always your shadow
April 1, 2013
today is one week since Jr got married, so much has changed since you left us. I miss you so much it feels like yesterday and at the same time so long ago. I am tired of the winter already, we need a change. Hopefully we can get the shed ordered this week and get that taken care of, that will keep me busy for a while. I love you, your shadow.
March 6, 2013
yesterday we had to say goodbye to Sue, she couldn't make it any longer. When we were getting ready for the shower she started to show signs then for two days she has just been laying around, last night I took her so I know she is up there with you brand new and out of pain. The shower went perfect on Sunday, we are just waiting for Reilly now, love you and miss you like crazy.
February 7, 2013
as usual I'm overwelmed, there is so much going on. I can't wait for Reilly to get here, she will make us all so happy and that is just what we really need. It's been so cold these past couple of weeks and they are calling for more snow tomorrow. I think about you everyday and miss you so much. It feels so long since you were here and yet it feels like yesterday at the same time, it is torture. I love you dad.
December 27, 2012
Thank God the holiday's are over, I can't get out of my funk, watch over our family, love you
November 20, 2012
I miss you so much I just don't understand why God took you from us. Jr and Katie are having a girl, can't wait for her to come and I know she would have been the joy of your life. Thanksgiving is just too much to think about without you I remember getting up at the crack and you would come over and helped me get everything started then you would go home and take a nap, but when you came back the one year it is a thought that will never left me when your eyes lite up seeing all the goodies. I love you so much and think about you every day, thank you for being everything to our family,love your shadow
October 22, 2012

Mommy ordered a bench on 2nd street, and we were at the house all day Saturday and got a lot done then mommy went Sunday and Monday. We are getting the house in order, we came across so many pictures of all different good times, times that will never be the same. I love you and miss you so much.

February 7, 2012
Jr will be 21 in 2 weeks, I remember when I was in labor, you were so nervous and proud, then evey day when you came home from work you would fall asleep with him on your chest, how I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I miss you so much
February 3, 2012
Thank God its Friday, I'm so tired. I had a long week at work, you had everything running smooth but it's still not even close. I love you and miss you so much, your shadow
January 5, 2012
it is so cold out I have to get over there with a rake and clean up your area, I think that is God putting more warmth over you because we know you like to be snuggled warm. Me and mommy rigged up a spot light in the headquarters and I will have to take the tree down this weekend I'm tired of the mess. Miss you and love you so much, watch over our family.
December 21, 2011
Christmas is this week and I can't wait for it all to be over. We are all missing you, nothing will ever be the same. I know your always with us but we miss you so much. I was thinking about what kind of appetizers to make for Christmas and I right away remembered how you loved coming over and your eyes would light up and you didn't know what to get first, then you would sit on the end of the couch and keep eating the peanut m&m's. I love you so much and hold you next to my heart always, love your shadow
October 17, 2011

Your birthday is Saturday and I have been thinking about when I came into work 3 years ago and you were singing 'will you still need me, will you still want me when I'm 64' I love you dad and miss you so much. We went over to clean up your stone and seen Hoppy put a palm cross on your grave, I remember that was one of the only times I left the hospital to go to Palm Sunday mass then Sissy gave me the big flower bunch of palm and it was laying across your chest under the heat lamp, I never thought that you were going to die, I love you so much and am glad you didn't suffer but I just can't understand why God took you from us
April 12, 2011

Life is crazy, I miss you so much. Life will never be the same
October 22, 2010
this was in Joey's mom's guest book and it is beautiful
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 how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with 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 remains,
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!
October 19, 2010
I had a dream last night and it felt so real and then I woke up, dad I miss you so much. I know you held on as long as you could thank God you didn't suffer, I love you so much I just miss you. Mommy was so sick all weekend but then last night she was out of bed, took a shower and was watching her shows so that was nice to see.
October 12, 2010

October 7, 2010
mommy went to see you and said the grass is all grown in :)
love you
October 5, 2010
well it is still raining out, the only good thing is that I put the grass seed down about two weeks ago so your grass will come in good if the seeds don't get washed away. Ray has to go to the doctors about his voice being messed up I just pray that we aren't getting hit again. it reminds me of Poppy and when we found out he had cancer. I sent a email to big daddy gram to see where he got his treatment because he had thoat cancer and he is fine today. I love you dad and miss you but I know your right by my side.
October 1, 2010

June 12, 2010
as usual you pulled through I was so suprised when nan called and said meet me at dad's and as soon as she said that I knew you did it right before my birthday which was the best gift I could ever ask for. It is outstanding, it feels so good to see you looking the way you should all nice and proud, I love you dad and your always in my heart I miss you so much, I wake up and think about you, on the weekends while I'm drinking my coffee I remember you pulling up with the paper and during the week I think about you all the way to work in the car, I know your watching over us but I just miss you so much, I'm so glad that it happened so fast because that would have been worse to see you suffer you went out like a champ, I know your up there with Peg and you can eat anything you want without worrying if it is going to make you sick. You are the best father in the whole world and your always in my heart, all my love
May 28, 2010

We have been waiting too long so hopefully it will be out of sight beautiful. I dream about you and it feels so real but mommy had a dream like that and it shook her up because it feels so real and I knew just what she meant because it does. Mommy sent me a funny version of strangers in the night and I can just hear you bo-be-dobby-do.

You were really the back bone of our family. I still call your old cell number to hear you say Jerry, I am so hurt and it will never be the same

work has been nuts, I know if you were there everything would run smooth. I wake up and start thinking of you and go to bed thinking of you I miss you so much, I just feel like my life is all messed up because I am always sad and heart broken even when I have a nice time doing something I always think it would have been great if you were here. My life will never be the same.

You are my hero, I miss you so much. Mommy brought Sue to see you yesterday and she went bananas and Bugzy is always weird in the kitchen, when he walks in his ears are back and then he backs out instead of turning around,Bugzy can be starving but he will lay at the door of the kitchen and wine, if I move the food to were he is then he will scarve it down, but he'll cry by the door for hours and will not go in the kitchen. I know they feel you around us but maybe don't know what exactly it is but I know. I love you dad, I wish I could give you a big long hug, your always in my heart. It hurts so bad for me but when I see mommy upset it really rips me up. Why did God take you from us?

I miss you so much I can't take all the stress of the holiday's. I'm hanging by a thread. With all the snow over the weekend I felt so bad about you out in the ground but like Ray said we put really warm socks on you because your feet always got cold. I miss taking care of your nails and feet, mommy use to get all grossed out and we would laugh. I miss you so much it hurts worse then anything. I love you so much, your always in my heart.

I find myself thinking of you of late. Maybe because of the Holidays. It's still difficult to look over and not see you in your chair, smiling, laughing and singing some oldie tune. Not the same here, never gonna be the same again.

Hey Dad, I've been so busy we are finally getting things done at 2820.
Most important we ordered your stone and it's the master of disaster. We went up to Bob's the other day and he will take care of everything for mommy. You really picked two great guys in Tony and Bob. Love you so much and I miss you like crazy
