My sincere condolences to your family and loved ones.

PA,
I WILL REMEMBER ALL OF THE YEARS FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULT AGE WHEN I NEEDED A FATHER FIGURE, YOU WERE THE ONE. I WILL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DOEN FOR ME...WHETHER IT WOULD BE ICE CREAM ON SUNDAYS OR DISCIPLINE IN THE CORNER, I WILL SADLY MISS IT ALL. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT NO ONE COULD EVER ASK FOR A BETTER FATHER OR FRIEND. YOU ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME WHEN OTHERS WOULDN'T ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DOES & DONT'S...WHETHER YOU AGREED OR DISAGREED, YOU WERE THERE. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY PA. YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART & NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. I LOVE YOU PA & I WILL MISS YOU. PS- CAN I TAKE OVER THE CIGAR HABIT?

PA,
EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE ONLY MY FATHER-IN-LAW FOR 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE & EVEN THOUGH YOUR SON & I DIVORCED YOU ALWAYS TREATED ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR OWN. WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH FOR ME 3 YEARS AGO WHILE GOING THROUGH MY NURSING, YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO NEVER PUT ME DOWN OR SAID I COULD NOT DO IT. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR SMIRKING FACE, CIGAR HANGING OUT, BIB OVERALLS ON WITH NO SHIRT UNDERNEATH...POCKET FULL OF INK PENS. I REMEMBER LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY STANDING IN YOUR KITCHEN ON 18TH AVE SO..."WHEN I DIE I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO MOURN ME...BE HAPPY FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE DONE MUCH OF WHAT I HAVE WANTED TO. I'M HAPPY." EVEN THOUGH WE KNEW THE END WAS COMING, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER ADAM. WE WILL SHED TEARS, WE WILL MOURN...BUT KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE FOREVER IN MY HEART...KNOWN TO ME AS MY "PA"...

My deepest sympathies to you.

Adam,

When I think of you, I see the twinkle in your eyes, that sly smile holding your cigar and hear your chuckle like you know something know one else knows... a secret. And I think you do!

I will forever admire your quite ways, stoic strength and words of wisdom learned through years of life experience. These are qualities that I fondly remember in my grandfather.

The last time we talked I was happy to share with you a few light hearted moments. When you spoke the words,"I love you.", I responded in kind. You blew my mind for I wondered, had you always felt this way? Thank You! I didn't know. I always felt an admiration and respect for you and looked up to you as a father figure. It is nice to know that the feelings of love are mutual... because that is ALL that matters!!

You are already missed; but, I know that you are just a call away.

Love,

Patti Ann Thompson (Robbins) Thompson

To my father:
I remember the last trip we took together back from Iowa,
to Arkansas. We talked about everything under the sun; life; family; love; hopes; and dreams. It was the last time you and I bonded as father and son. You helped me make a important life
decision during that trip, that gave me the courage to go on with my dream to be with Patti once more....
I will miss you with all my heart; and shall always try to continue to make you proud.....
Your son,
Greg
