Hi Grandpa,
I just wanted to let you know that we went to the doctor on Tuesday and we are having a girl and a boy. We are very excited as is everyone else. We can't wait to meet them. Our only wish is that you and Grandma were here to share in this excitment as well, but I know it's because of the two of you and God that this was possible. Thank you so much. I love you!!!!
Don, Desiree, Shelby, Thunder, Dylan, and Danielle:)

Grandpa,
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I just wanted to let you know how much we love and miss you. I also wanted to say a special thank you for the two little miracles you and Grandma worked with God to give Don and I. I guess you are happy to know Don finally got some lead in his pencil! We find out what we are having on Dec. 26th, I know you guys already know, but I can't wait to see what you and Grandma have in store for us. I miss you and Grandma so much and I think about the two of you all day every day. I hope you, Grandma, Uncle Donnie, Grandma Daisy, and all our other family and friends in Heaven have a nice Thanksgiving. We will try down here, but it just won't be the same without the two of you here to share the holidays with. I love you and thanks again.
Don, Desiree, Shelby, Thunder, and the twins:)

Grandpa,
I know it has taken me a REALLY long time to finally gain up the strength to write to you. I have already written one of these and I never expected to write another one again. I guess I needed to in my heart because today is the 3rd month since the passing of Grandma. I don't know what to say to that hasn't already been said. I suppose you already know about Desi and Mandi, and maybe even that Natalie is getting married on Saturday! Some things to look forward to I guess. This is hard. I cannot express how much it hurts to think of Christmas and other holidays to come and then realize that you and Grandma will not be here to share them with us. I hope that someday we can all be fine again, but unfortunately that day will not be soon to come. Jayci and I have started high school already and I hate not having special people like you and Grandma to share the stories with. When I have time to think about what has happened to this family, (which I hate to do) all I get is this huge wave of sadness coming over me about how my aunts' and my mom are taking all of this. Everyday is an inevitable struggle for them, and GOD, it hurts so much to see them hurt. I want to try to make it better, and I really am trying. I know I nor anyone else can fill the void that was left by yours and Grandma's departures, but maybe a lot of love can help to patch up some things and make it easier to digest. I love you and am really sad that I didn't get to have more time with you. For anyone who is reading this, I love you and I hope you will give a lot of love to our family to help fill us up again.
I love you and miss you eternally,
Stasia (Penny's little one)
p.s. I am very proud to be named after your Mother:)

Dear Penny, Kim and Terri,

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He must have really wanted to be with your mom. I am so sorry I was not able to make it to his memorial. I had an unexpected situation at work and before I knew it it was 6:00. I'm sorry - I wanted to be there.....but I must say that I am so thankful that I was able to talk to your dad at your mom's memorial and share some happy and fun memories with him from so long ago. He was such a part of my childhood and early teen years. Thank you for sharing him. I know you were used to sharing your parents with everyone! May God bless you all, and your families, with His peace and love through this time of mourning.

With my Love and Prayers,

Hank,

Oh how Grandma must have rubbed off on you. I'll never forget the day you stopped calling me "Bobby's girlfriend" and remembered my name; then I truly knew I was apart of the family. I will miss your stories about Pabst and hearing you rave about the picture of Bobby picking his nose but I will always hold them close to my heart. We definitely were not prepared for this time to come so soon but we pray that you are watching over us. Thank you for all that you have done.

Love always, Mandi

On August 13th our Mother died after suffering a lengthy and painful battle with emphysema.

Her birthday was August 27th and on that day we as a family came together and scattered her ashes.

My Dad proudly carried her to her final resting spot,trying to lighten the somber moment by carrying her on his shoulder.

The day ended...we all went our separate ways.

All three of us daughters were sharing worry and prayer for our Dad's well being.

He really surprised us and seemed to be all right.

September 2nd was the third anniversary of our brother Donnie's death. He had been paralyzed for 24 years.

Still Dad appeared to be doing very well.



On September 6th my Dad collapsed alone on his front yard of a massive heart attack.



None of us are doing very well and we cannot pretend to be.

We will be having his funeral September 13th one month since our Mother............



Please God Give Us Strength

Please God Guide Us

Please God Fill Us with Peace

Amen

Dear Penny, Kim & Terry,



I am sorry to read about the loss of your father (Mother & Donnie as well) I think about all of you often, wonder how your kids are, how life is treating you. My time in your family was not always happy, but at 15, life can be difficult at best. I do appreciate the friendship I felt, especially with Penny. I am a funeral director in Florida, have been since 1992. My kids are 22 (Josh) and 27(Tiff) No grandkids yet. Again, just wanted to say hi, wishing you all God's tender blessings.

Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa,

Wow I can't believe this is real, I keep waiting to wake up and this nightmare will be over but unbelievably I never do. You were always so full of surprises, but you really threw us for a loop this time. I know you missed Grandma and Uncle Donnie so I have comfort knowing your with them. I know I'm being selfish when I say I really could have used more time with you, we all could have. I know you already know this but I'll say it again, you were such a great grandfather. Don and I loved you so very much and we will miss you terribly. Give Grandma and Uncle Donnie a kiss for me, and please watch over all of us always, but especially now, because I don't know how much more my poor family can handle. Don says not only did he lose a Grandpa that awful day, he lost his buddy as well. We love you, and you will forever be in our thougts and prayers. Love always and forever,

Don, Desiree, Shelby and Thunder
