Herman A. Hughes

Hey Daddy, Today is the day last year. I can't believe that it has been that long already, I miss you everyday, I am wearing the shirt me and my sisters had made on the day of your funeral. They probably are too. I haven't really talked to them much, not because of any particular reason, I know you always want to make sure that we stay close, we are. Just not everyday all the time close, you know dad, we have different lives. I love them so much too! I am sure you are kicking like nothing else now, fishing doing whatever and relaxing I hope. I love you daddy and I wanted to hit you up one last time before this thing on the internet from the Pioneer Press and Legacy goes away. I am not able to sponsor it any longer than the deadline March 6th. I am at work right now, thankfully I am not crying, I have become alot stronger, I think anyways, well I guess that would have to be sometimes. I am alot stronger sometimes. I am going to get to work now. I love and miss you Daddy! Your Tee-T

Hey Dad, long time no hear from you...I wonder why I haven't heard from you..not a whisper in the wind, a hang up phone call, shadows, a dream..nothing. I miss you and wish I could feel your presence more than I have..well I haven't since that day when we (all the girls) were at Wal-mart and you chose your fishing pole...which by the way hasn't caught me anything BIG yet..I am still working on it though. Man Daddy, I miss you alot and even though time has passed..almost a year now...I still think you are here, just hanging out somewhere. I have to bring myself back to reality sometimes, I cry when I remember that you are really gone. I have alot of things I want to tell you about, I am on my way and I know you would be so proud of me..I want to talk to Uncle Louis too about a restuarant..but that is neither here nor there..I am just chit chatting with you again as if you were here and I was going to send this...LOL..sorry daddy that means laughing out loud...Anyways, I hope you are reading this cause I need you this year, well every year but I would just like to feel that you are okay and watching over us. Daddy I love you and miss you.

Tee-T

The weather is starting to get so nice and you know what that means.....FISHING...I am sooo excited to use the pole that you picked out for me...I know I am going to catch the biggest fish ever this year...I know you will be with us. I love you so much dad, and I wish you were here. I am so sorry for taking you for granted...I know how much you loved me and I love you too dad more than ever.

To my nieces and nephew's in St. Paul Minnesota I send my love and prayers. I wish I could have been there to help you make the arrangements and to meet some of Herman's St. Paul friends. It's times like this when everyone should open their hearts no matter what the circumstances may be. My dear brother Herman A.

To My Dear Daddy, I love you so much you could never even imagine. I'm sure now you have a much greater sense of who truly cared about you. You know we did. I am so so sorry that we didn't get to go fishing one last time, I always said I would come and get you to go, your fishing now I bet. You gave me my nickname "tee" it's tattoo'd on my hand, and I will always remember when my mom would call my name "tee" and you would follow with "tee-t prettier than me" I love you so much daddy, why I wonder, who would need you more than I? You taught me scale fish with a spoon when I was like 7, I remember things like having dead 'coon and rabbit hanging from the basement ceiling dripping blood. Going to papa's house in Fredrick, WI with the great big turtle, and when I was riding the mule and got bucked off, cause I was eating chips too and he got scared. I remember spending many and many of nights at the BBQ King, playing Mrs. Pacman, waiting for daddy to get done with work at the after hours up stairs. Uncle Louis made some bomb ribs, huh? Man, daddy I miss you so much. There is so much I wanted to say, if I would have only knew..I took you for granted, you were supposed to always be here, always. I know you are here, but there, Happy now....fishing...hunting....having a drink. Daddy, I love and miss you so much..Your Tee-t prettier than me (Tee - Theresa)

-Til the world blow up

Shorty, you truly had a love for people. It doesn't matter where you would go, there was always a handful of people that you knew. It's amazing to know someone that knew so many people. You love your friends & family & had no problem giving your last if needed. That's just the kind of person you were.

Now you did have a special taste for a good drink and would truly speak your mind, let the world know how you felt & wouldn't leave out any one of the 26 alphabets to describe your feelings about any given issue at hand. You were a loving & caring man & we'll miss you dearly. Thank you Lord for allowing us to share good times. Take good care of your son.
