As another year passed it doesn´t get easier without my dad, my best friend. To this day while I work or think of something that we shared I have to catch myself from wanting to give you a call and let you know what´s going on. I miss the fun we used to have and all the jobs we used to do together. The older I get I realize how fast life really goes, the boys are growing into great men and it´s all because of what you thought me. I´ll never forget you. I love you Dad

People always seem to say that things get better with time. I dont think so, I miss you just as much today as I did the day you passed away. Life will never be the same but we must keep moving on. I catch myself saying little things you used to say and it puts a smile on my face. Love and miss you always

MY DAD
I know this man
Who's dear to my heart
Suddenly this day 5 years ago
It was all torn apart
This man taught me everything
That I needed to know
But I never really listened
Until he had to go
He gave me love & touched my life
It's all over now
He no longer has to fight
He tried to teach me right from wrong
The day he left
I wasn't that strong
He is gone now it's hard to believe
This man is my DAD
Who I will never see
But I will see him again
This I know
The day will come
When it's time for me to go
So I'll hold him dear and close to my heart
Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart
I am so proud to be the son of

It's hard to believe that it has been 2 years today and feels like yesterday!! We miss your grin, your voice and just your presents and fun you brought to all of our lives. Family functions are not as fun as you used to make them. We know you are in a better place but still in our thoughts and hearts. We love you Dad?

I can't believe that it has been a whole year today. It was the saddest and fastest year of my life. I still find myself talking to you dad I can feel your presents around me. We will spend the day with mom and have happy memories of you with the guys at Ron's. You are missed every day by all of us and will never be forgotten. I try not to be sad but it's so hard without you. I love you, Pres

You would think that every day that passes things would get a little better. I never understood what other people who lost someone really close ment when they said they see life in a whole new way. Now i understand that phrase and then some. Life with out my dad is the hardest thing that words just cant explain. I know you are still with me Dad but it feels more like a huge piece of me is missing. I will never forget you. I will take care of Mom for you too. I love you. Love Pres
