Dad, I know you will always protect and watch over me and my family. I miss you sooooo much.It feels like just yesterday I was buying you sugarless kool-aid packets and bringing them to you cause you couldn't have soda anymore. Mom had a cookout at your house, it was fun but there was still something missing; you. You will never ever be forgotten. Lukas was asking about you the other day, he said "mommy,gibber gabber grandpa". I think that means mommy wheres grandpa? Gaby askes about you too. she says she misses and loves you. We all do. I wish I could've had a chance to say goodbye and that I was sorry for all trouble and pain I put you and mom through. I love you with my whole heart and I hope I can see you soon.

Dawn and family,
I knew you folks many moons ago. I had dated Alberto for a very short time. I always remembered your family because I saw how caring Jesse was with his little girl. Years later I met and married Jim McCone. The McCone's lived in your area but I had never met Jim until he lived in Antigo. I didn't realize we had any friends in common until a couple of months after we met. Jim told me a story and that same story had been told to me before, it was a story about Jesse. I finally put two and two together and asked Jim if he knew Jesse. It was amazing to learn that this truly is a small world. Take care and God Bless, I will break the news to Jim, my husband.
