Hey Dad! I think about you all the time. But you are on my mind a lot more today than usual. Figured I'd share some pics of me and Aidan! I wish he could have met you! It's definitely got your big heart! He's such a kind kid! We love you and miss you!

Decided to put some Christmas pics up so you could see! Gav even has a tree (fake) in his room. He´s in love with Christmas, he helped me with all of the decorating. He was amazing, but for a long time I lost the love of Christmas and lost the point of everything, to be completely honest. He helped me get excited about Christmas again, it just a little bit. Such a great kids, they all are. Wish the other two remembered you. It kips me that they don´t! Love you always and forever, dad! Again, so sorry that it has taken me this long.

It has been a really long time! Your death was probably the worst thing that ever happened to me. I had a grieving period, but then I went through a really bad depression, couldn´t even get up and do much. Yes, I needed help, but no one was equipped to know what to do and I haven´t really seen anyone in a long time. I miss you more than words can ever say, I still can´t look at a picture of think of you without tearing up. I always talk about you, but because chayse was so much older than Chryssi and Gavyn, he remembers you more than I thought he did! I was so happy to hear that. They are 22, 18, and 15. Crazy, right!? I sing the song, if heaven wasn´t so far away, often. I really hope that I meet you again. If there really is a heaven, you would be the one to go, I may be questionable, lol. I got a job! Started school. I wish I could ask you questions and have the conversations we used to have all the time. You were my best friend! I will write soon, I feel like it may be cathartic for me, too.
I love you so much. I´m so sorry it took me so long to write to you, I really did go into a depression I never thought I´d recover from. But, Karl´s aunt came and made me get up and out (this was after a couple years), and she really helped me, and I am really grateful. If it wasn´t for her who knows where I´d be. Probably all in that mental state, just in a different home.
I´ll write soon. Love you with all of my heart.
A few pictures of the is. Gav got a puppy! He´s so much like you, it´s crazy. Love you!!!

Please watch over us on Thursday we need you! But I know you'll be there you always were and always will be! I couldn't have asked for a better father. I love you and I miss you!

Still waiting for the day when I can talk about you without feeling like I'm drowning. I got that message you sent me, thank you for watching over me this last year on this rocky journey I've been on. Things are looking up & I know it's you pulling some strings plus a little hard work. I love you & I will always stand by the fact that nobody loved me as unconditionally and strongly as you. Thank you for shaping me into this person I am.

Hey daddy. I couldn't write on the anniversary of your passing, it was just too hard for me. A candle was lit in your memory, all day and night, there wasn't a minute you weren't on my mind. The pain is just as intense as it was on that dreadful night I had to hug and kiss you goodbye at almost 5 a.m. That night is a memory that will never be erased, but along with that, there are some amazing memories that I hold onto and cherish every day. Today isn't such a good day and still to this day, my first thought on my mind is that I would call you and so I wrote. Please watch over us and try and make things work out for the best..every time something goes well, something happens to where we're back where we started.. Sometimes I feel like we will be stuck like this forever. I know you're our guardian angel, which is why I ask you..and just to talk to you cause it makes me feel a bit closer to you. I miss you like crazy no words can express how much I miss and love you.
Other than that everything is good and everyone's doing well. Nicole and Chris, Thea, and Grayson, Melissa, Aidan and Kayla..everyone's good.

I'll write soon. Not too much in the mood for texting..how I wish I could pick up the phone and call you and hear your voice.

Miss you and love you more than you ever knew, my brightest star in the sky.

Love you forever and and ever and always,

Ted, your sister Jan has come home. Take her under your wing and hold her tight.

May 6, 2015

Hey, daddy. I miss you so much. As you already know, another loved one has come to meet you, mom mom, pop, aunt Dolly, and the rest of our loved ones. I hope you were there to meet Aunt Janny at the pearly whites. As someone told me being there with all of you Is where she belongs now. Give aunt Jan hugs and kisses for me and tell her that I love her until I can eventually write to her.
I love you forever and ever and ever, my brightest star in the sky.

Hey, daddy. It's a day early, but I wanted to make sure I wished you a happy Easter just in case I wasn't able to tomorrow. Kids are doing well, Karl went back to work which is a huge relief, and we are doing well. I am missing you like always. I wish you were here just like every holiday, to share in the joy. Not a day goes by I don't think of you, that'll never change.
Hope you have a very HAPPY EASTER in heaven, my brightest star in the sky.
I love you forever and ever and always,

Poppy,
I know that it has been a very, VERY long time. This year I am attending my first prom and next June I am graduating. It is very hard to come to terms with the fact that all of these positive life things are happening without you physically here. I want you to know I am doing very well; I'm back in honors classes, achieved honor roll, and I take college class on weeknights. I know that if you were here you would be very proud. Colleges are starting to contact me, and I've decided what I want to be. I'm going to be an English teacher... no surprise right? I want to thank you for watching over me everyday and always being there when I was younger. I love you to the moon & back, forever.

Merry Christmas, Daddy! I put a few pics up for you. I love you. It's not true what they say, "time heals all wounds". It just makes things a little easier to deal with, but the pain is still as raw as it was the day you were taken away. I still wish you know, I was in the room with you til they mtold me to go. Megan stayed for as long as she could, as well. Happy holidays. Wishing you were here!
Love you forever and ever. My brightest star in the sky.

Daddy,
Another Christmas without you. My spirit has gone, but is slowly coming back, as I see the kids so excited for tomorrow. Gavyn kept asking if he could go to bed from six o'clock on. He's just like you, in every way, even his looks. He's helped decorate for Christmas, and everything had to be perfect, just like you used to be. He reminds me so much of you, which is good in so many ways, but it's still so hard without you, it sometimes makes me wish you were here. They're doing so well, growing so big. Wish you were here to see them. Chayse just turned 12, Chryssi will be 5, and Gavyn is 8 now. I wear your necklace, still everyday, keeping you close to my heart forever. Merry Christmas, daddy. I can still imagine your Christmas lights at the house, and the beautiful decorations inside, as well. No one ever lived it as much as you. As the years pass, I will try and keep my spiritfor Christmas alive, and make it big, with family close together. I know that all you ever wanted. Please look down on everKate
that's in need of only your guidance. I still pray to you, you're still my brightest star in the sky. Shine bright in heaven, like you always did in life. Youu has a way of making our lives a little bit brighter, and I thank you for that. You were an amazing father/grandfather. I miss you so so much.
I love you, daddy. Forever and ever and ever,
Kate
Ps, I'll take a pic of the bigger Christmas tree in a bit, just for you.?

August 14, 2014

Hey, daddy. Youu have two more grandsons, and I find it so hard to imagine them grow up, let alone my kids, without having you as their poppy. The kids are doing well, summers almost over. Went by so quick. I have a job interview tomorrow at three pm, please look down on me and give me some of that luck and shine your light, I need it desperately. Not only for the extra money, but it'll also help me go back to school. Not day goes by that I don't think of you. Youre my brightest star in the sky, always will be. My amazing daddy, I wish I could see your face one last time, hear that laugh, and see that smile on your face, when your grandkids are in front of you. Oh how they lit up your life ??i love you forever and ever and always, Kate. I'll write soon. It's just still so hard for me.??????????????

Hey, daddy. Just wanted to stop by and say hi, and that I'm missing you beyond belief. Around this time, we would be sitting around the table, talkingb and eating burgers, with you, mom, Karl, the kids and myself. The week we didn't together, (Karl you and I) while I was pregnant with Chayse, Comes to mind a lot lately. I enjoyed spending everyday with you, and night; with you and Karl watching that stupid movie "Jack and the beanstalk", as you almost peed your , laughing so hard, cause we all know how contagious both of your laughs are, especially Karl's. I'm starting to think of the good memories of you, and I'm able to smile a bit, rather than crying every time. I miss you like crazy. I will write again soon. I put up a few pics of the kids for you, as well.
I love you forever and ever and always, my brightest start in the sky,
Kate

Watch over and guide your family from above. Seems like Kayla needs your support. We all need your support.

August 1, 2013

I just wanted you to know despite all the set backs that have been put in front of me, including losing you, i am finally beginning to move past the issues and choose what makes me happy and is right for me. I truly believe that it is you who is guiding me through all this and showed me the way. I wish you could be here to be proud of me and see how hard I'm working to be the person you always wanted me to be, sadly you can't be. You were a blessing to have in my life, and its a blessing to be able to remember you and have spent so much time with you. I love and miss you poppy.

August 1, 2013

I sit and watch the stars and moon at night over the mountains and wish I could see your face once more to see your everlasting beautiful smile. In my hearts always and forever.

August 1, 2013

We all LOVE you so much!

August 1, 2013

Ted, Miss you and Love you! It seems like such a long time ago since the day you left me. I cannot explain what this has done to me. I feel like I am dying inside from grief and you were my backbone in life. Lorraine sent me a beautiful angel that lights up at night. In honor of you. Lorraine misses you so very much also. Someday, I don't know when I hope to see your ever smiling face again. R.I.P. (Return If Possible). However, I know that will not be possible. Love, Lynn and Gracie

November 23, 2012

Hey Daddy! Sorry I didn't write you yesterday, been working and had to go in at ten last night plus had to cook, but not for one minute did I not think of you! I pictured you eating your turkey, stuffing and cranberries (have to have your cranberries with your turkey) and afterwards falling asleep on the couch. This time of year isn't the same without you here. You, your memory and everything about me with you is forever engraved in my heart, soul and mind!
I was/am so sick boss sent me home 4hours before I was supposed to go home and I've been in bed all day long, I hope I feel better soon, I hate being like this!
Please look after us, especially mommy right now because she's not in the best of spirits about anything, and I know you would want her to be.
Going to go for now not feeling well. Thinking of you always!
LOVE YOU 4EVER & EVER & ALWAYS MY BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY,
