Dad,
It has been 3 months now and I miss you more than ever. Not a day goes by when you're not in my thoughts. I look at your picture and wish I could talk to you, but, I know you're in heaven and that helps. I thank God for His many blessings on our family, for all your love and what you taught me and I am forever proud to be your daughter. In my prayers I ask God to bless Mom and keep her safe. And because of the faithful life you lived, I know God blesses us, He hears and answers my/our prayers because there have been tiny miracles already.
Love,
Peggy Anne

Dearest Peg: I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of you and Jack. You were so grown up. I looked up to you so much. I probably had a secret crush on Jack. I hope that you have been happy and that your kids have been a treasure to you and Jack. God Bless. Also I wish I could be there and bring Bobby down but Al's sister has only a couple days to live and we are spending time with the family to get over this sad time. Again Love JoAnn Reid(Recke)
