Dear Chet,

This is the nobody across the street that almost all ways hung out with your youngest son, Jason back in the day, like forever ago.



When I saw the ambulance across the street I could'nt believe what was going on. I thought that someone might have fallen and broke their arm or somthing, not anything like that actually happened. You were even a freind when Jason was'nt around and I always looked up to you like a father figure.



I can remember a long time ago when you took Jason and Myself to a job you had down the street a little ways there in Shawnee. All we had to do is clean up the miss, but you know how kids are we got into a little bit of trouble. It was'nt a whole lot or a big deal really, but that's just one of my millions of memories I have, had having you as a freind for about 23 years or so.



I will miss you more than you know love always John (nobody) Dodd

Dear Dad,

Oh God you will be missed so bad, more than you will ever know. I am going to miss your smile, the way you smack your knee when you laugh, always telling me I am beautiful. The girls are going to miss their papa more than words can express. We will miss your stories, the candy hiding in the chair, the tickling. I hope you know how much you helped me. I hope you know how much your memory will be cherished. I love you love you love you.
