Dad, it will be 3 years since you were taken from us and it is still hard not being able to call you or hear you say "hello my daughter." I hope and pray you and mom are watching over us. Please give my mom a hug and kiss for me and also one to Derrill. Love you my father and miss you!

George invited me to join Charityville Jail. He taught so much about the old west, as well as horses, tools, and just life. He would always check in on me and make sure i was doing ok. He was like a father to me. When he died it felt like I had lost a father, not just a friend.

Dad, it will be 2 years since you were taken from us and it still hurts, just like it still hurts from losing mom almost 3years ago (less than a year before you). I still expect my phone to ring and here you on the other end say “hello my daughter”. Please continue to watch over us and your grandchildren. I love you dad!! I’m going to do like you, so I turned around and said, until we see each other again.
