Pappy -
Where do I even start? 5,619 days ago was the day that you went to heaven. That´s 5,619 days where everybody who loved you, had to learn to do life without you. I´m 16 now, Kendall is 19. And you´ll never believe how old Mom is turning next week. Although you aren´t here to say it, I know we´re both on the same page. And I promise, i´ll be here to tell her everything you want to say to her. Mom is a freaking force of nature, she´s never needed anyone but herself. She´s the type of person that you´ll never run out of things to say about her. She lives her life with her heart on her sleeve, and to know her is to love her. She´d do anything for the people she loves, people in need, and even a stray dog she finds in the middle of the road or a bunny crossing by. I wouldn´t even put it past her to spend the rest of her days opening her home to all sorts of animals who need some love. One of my favorite things about her, is how true she is to herself. She prioritizes the things, people, and places that makes her happy, and values her goals and callings. Despite how much I make fun of her, she knows what she enjoys, what makes her excited for the future, and what makes her heart feel full. I´ve learned you can never judge someone for doing the things that make them happy because of her. Every once in awhile we take a drive through Duquesne. She shows me where the kids used to meet every Friday, the tunnels, the hill where all 4 siblings rode the shopping cart down, all of her friends houses, and i´ve heard every story in the book. I get to listen and understand all of the memories and laughs you got to share with her, and the best parts of her, come from you. I saw a quote once that said, "If love could´ve kept you alive, you would´ve lived forever" and the way everyone around talks about you, I know that is so true. I miss you. We all miss you. But there´s not a doubt in my mind that you aren´t smiling ear to ear at everything Mom is doing. I couldn´t have asked for a better Mom, no matter what life throws at us, the paths we take, the arguments, the good, the bad, the ugly.....you raised a person I will forever be inspired by, and someone whom i´ll love for the rest of my life. Whether you are here with us or not, you have so much to be proud of, and she is a prime example of that. 5,619 days later, I will still call her Tumbleweed, just like you did. I love you. Hope you´re having a big old milkshake up in heaven.

Today is one year since your death. One year since you left us. Tomorrow the family is all going to the cemetary together, to your gravesite to have a little ceremony of our own to wish you well, and help us all to feel better. We all miss you so much, and we all have our feelings of guilt about how we misused you, abused you, didn't appreciate you for the good man you were, didn't show you enough love, and so on, and so on, and so on!. We're going to close this site tomorrow. We had pictures added to the book. We all miss you terribly and will miss you and think of you all our lives. I'll love you forever and look forward to seeing you again when my time comes. So when it does , please come for me. Until we meet again : LYNNE " One year ago today,God saw that you were tired, and said,"It's time to go. More time is not to be. " He put his arms around you, and whispered," Come with me." Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, and busy hands, were put to rest that day. It's lonesome here without you, I miss you more each day. Life for me, is not the same since you have gone away. A million times I've missed you. A million times I've cried. If all my love could have saved you, You would have never died. Soulmates through the here after. Lynne

There are so many things I wish you could have seen, pap. All the school dances and how well I'm doing in school, me playing soccer again, my first shows with the band, my improvement on the drums, etc. I think I subconsciously taking drumming so seriously because of you. You never cared when I drummed or for how long. You never shot any of my dreams down. I just recently decided I want to stay close to home when I'm in college because I want to drum and stay with the bands. Thats my dream; to drum or be in a band. I haven't really told anyone because I just dont think they would understand. I did tell gram, though, and she seemed ok with it (even though she thinks I'm staying home for girls haha). You both keep me going. I just want to see gram keep going. I want her to get off that couch and make herself better. I just wish I could actually tell her but I just cant for some reason. Regardless, I dont want to see her go, but if moving to Florida is what will make her happiest, then so be it. I wish more things reminded me of you. I dont know if it's because I'm a guy or what, but I don't get so emotional everytime I think of you. I know clearly that I haven't known you as long as everyone else in the family, but I just feel I should think about you more. The only thing that actually reminds me of you everytime I see it is the metal scrapyard under the bridge. Also, the song "my hero" reminds me of you everytime (I have the lyrics tattooed on my back, sorry pap) I just wish I could think of you more, regardless of how it feels. I want to be thankful for you every single day but it doesn't happen like that and I wish I knew why. I want to write in this everyday, but clearly I missed my chance. I wish the upcoming 19th didnt have to be such a bad day for remembering. I know its the day that you passed away, but its still just another day. I just wish everyone could realize that they could appreciate the time they had with you instead of just mourning over your loss. You are such a great person and it clearly can not be stated enough by everyone. Me and Archie look up to you so much. You are my hero and have taught me so so much, even after death. You taught me how to become a leader, how to stay strong, and how to analyze things as they really are. You taught me how to present myself as a respectable person (even thought my hair and piercings didnt help), and how to push through any type of struggle or obstacle. Most of all, you taught me how to appreciate things and be happy you have them, even when they're gone. I've matured so much in the past year and I know it's all because of you. Even though this guestbook will be gone the 21st, you will never be gone from my thoughts or heart. I love and miss you, pap. You'll always be my hero and I'll always be your "little buddy".
I hope nate doesn't mind, but I'm going to write down his lyrics from a song we play with our band. The song is called "At the Gates of Heaven" and he wrote it when his pap passed away as well.
Gone Forever
But still standing here
Missing visibly
But I know you're near
Daily thoughts
Of times back when
Nightly prayers
We'll meet again
Can't forget
That painful day
Torn apart
When you went away
God's grace
In which he waits
Embraced forever
At heaven's gates

To my dear husband, May he rest in peace. He never did down here. Today is Dec. 27th; Christmas is over and we're looking towards the new year. I just came from the cemetary ,where I had a long talk with you. It was so warm and Spring-like today, and Lori and Matt and Archie went to Matt's mothers' for dinner, and I thought I should walk to the cemetary. Your head stone still isn't there. They said something about the ground being to cold to dig. But, what do they do when they have a funeral? They dig up a space for the casket, don't they? I'm going to look into it again tomorrow. I still miss you so badly. I miss our life together. I miss pestering you in the garage in the morning. I miss knowing you are out there when I get up. I miss those morning rides, and going out for breakfast. I miss our talks,even the arguments. I missed going to "Red Lobster" on my birthday and our anniversary. I don't know how I'll get thru the 19th of January, or your birthday. You would've been 65; the day you were waiting for to go to the doctor, because you would be on medicare. I have decided I have to get out of this funk I'm in for the New Year, so I'm making some resolutions. I'm going to get this house clean and in shape. I'm going to get rid of everything I can pitch out, or sell. I'm going to clean every non-necessity out of the attic, cellar and garage. I'm going to get rid of every single thing that isn't used by somebody, including all your old stuff. I'm going to get healthy and monitor my Diabetes better, walk every day, and lose weight. After Stephen graduates I' m going to seriously think about selling the house and moving to Florida. I'm going to give myself one year to do these things. I have to take a pro-active stance in my own life, or I'm going to be up there with you, sooner than I should. I have to get out of this depressive funk that I'm in, and help myself heal. Don't get me wrong, I still love you so much,and I always will, but I can't keep remembering you with such pain. I want to be able to smile when I remember you. To remember you and all the good times, the funny times, the sentimental times with fondness and love, and a smile. NOT WITH THIS PAIN! Love Forever; Your wife Lynne

Dear Bob; Today is now 11 months that I've been without you. Almost one year. It's Christmas time, All the Winter holidays ' and all the hullabaloo that goes with them. I just didn't want to even acknowledge the holidays this year. I wanted to stay home alone and ignore them, but that didn't work for my birthday or Thanksgiving, and it seems to hurt others in the family. I didn't want to decorate or have a tree either, but the boys wanted too , so i rethought that too. We are going to Jodi's and Scott's for Christmas and spending the holiday together, in hopes that it will make it easier for all of us. I went to the grave and took a better flag, to replace the little washed out one, and a wreath. I lay in bed at night and think about all the places we lived and about all the past Cristmases, and try to determine where and when we were the happiest. No matter how bad things got, and what troubles we were having, I always loved you, and always thought we were meant to be. I hope you always knew that. We've been apart almost a whole year now, and I still go over every little detail of that night in my head like it just happened yesterday. I'm so sorry for every mean thing I ever said to you, every insult, every hurtful word, or deed I ever did. I've always loved you so much. I miss you so much, and I still want you back. If I could just have another chance to love you for a few more years, and make you happy. This site has helped me immensely during this past year, but I'm the only one writing on it now, so I think after next month, one year since you left, I'm going to let it go. I certainly hope the next year will go better, and that we all will start healing, and be able to think of you and smile. Love forever and ever. LYNNE

It's been 10 months now and I still miss you so terribly. I've been missing you lately more then ever. I guess it's because the holidays are coming up. I keep thinking about past holidays. I know they are going to be so hard for me. I just can't imagine a Cristmas without you. Not seeing you on the floor playing with Kendall, or rolling around with the new babies, or having Christmas with and laughing with Stephen and Archie. You were such a good Pap-Pap. They all miss you so much. No one, however; misses you like I do. I'm so lonely without you. When I'm alone on the couch, I still look over at your chair, and fully expect to see you sitting there. I really don't want to go thru the holidays. I just want to stay home alone and wish I was with you Sometimes, I just want to come and be with you. I love and miss you so much. Love forever and ever.

Well, It's nine months today, since your funeral. I still miss you terribly, and everything reminds me of you these days. I was in the doctors office yesterday, and started to cry because where you have to pick marital status, I had to circle ;"widowed", and that's the first time I've had to do that. I don't even like the word, It sounds so lonely. My doctor wants to put me on an anti-depressive. She says everything about me right now says depressed, and it may save me from a more serious problem later if I treat it now. Well, of course I'm depressed., "MY HUSBAND DIED.!" Besides, those drugs scare me. I don't want to end up with a habit. I had a Stress test today, and a Muga scan of my heart. It took 4 hrs.; and I don't think I want to do it again. For one thing, it really tired me out. Well, I was at the cemetary today. I talked to you for a while, and let you know what was going on. Sitting there talking to you soothes me, and somehow calms me. I still miss you so much, and will love you forever. Your headstone still isn't there, but should be soon. Good-Bye for now, til I meet you in heaven, or in our next life. LYNNE

Today is Sept. 29th. The end of September. I still miss you terribly. I was looking thru the memory book from the funeral home today. There were people who came that I didn't even realize came. It was the first time I looked thru it, and I'm so glad I did. I was really kind of bitter that certain people didn't come, and here they did come afterall. I still miss you terribly, and love you so much. Love forever; LYNNE

WELL, today is our 43rd anniversary. Of course, I'm having a bad day. I love you so much, and I miss you so badly. Life just isn't the same without you. I have to say though that sometimes now when I look at some of your pictures, especially ones where you're smileing,or making a face; I have to smile. So maybe I am getting better. It's raining today, but I have to come see you at the cemetary today. See you later! Love and kisses, and " Happy Aniversary!" Love you. LYNNE

It's 7 months now, and I still miss you so much. It doesn't seem so bad now. Instead of thinking of you a million times a day, and having every thing everyone says, and everything I see remind me of you; it's only once or twice a day. Seven months ago God decided you were tired, and more time was not to be, so he put his strong arms around you and said, "Now come with me!" Although I love you dearly, I could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands were still to stay. Now it's lonesome here without you, I miss you more each day. It just doesn't seem the same since you have gone away. A million times I've missed you. A million times we've all cried. If all our love could have saved you, You would have never died. May you stay in God's hands till I get there. Love Forever; Lynne

I wrote a message on Saturday, and don't know what happened to it. On Sat., it was 6 months, one-half of a year. It was an especially hard day for me. One half a year, and it isn't any easier. Even though I tell others that it will get easier with time, it hasn't. In fact some days it's harder. Every day, I get up and say to myself, " I'm going to do something today. I'm going to accomplish something." Then I sit on the couch all day, and do nothing. I just can't seem to do anything because I'm used to doing everything with you. I still miss you just as much as I did the day of the funeral. I keep going over it all in my mind. I think about it over and over and over. I love you and I want you back, and I know that no matter how many times I say it, it can't happen. I miss you terribly. I woke up a couple of nights ago, remembering the conversation we had about how I believe that our spirits are reborn into other bodies, and I was thinking what if your spirit was born into little Blake. Leah sends me phone pictures every couple days. It could be you know. Love you, love you, miss you. Lynne

Everytime someone writes something new I read it and it makes me remember how sad it is that you are gone. I know that I couldn't make it down to PA very often, but now it is a sad and miserable thought that the next time I do go, you won't be there. You great grandson is growing quickly. He's now almost 13lbs! I really wish you could have been here to see him. I know you are looking down on us though and I will make sure as he grows up he knows all about you. I miss you Pap-Pap. I love you.

Today is June 6th. We put flowers on your grave on Memorial Day. The grandkids are out of school now. Lori got married the 31st of May. Right now she, Matt and little Archie are in Florida, at Jim and Missy's. Everything is going on without you just as if you were here, even me. I got thru the first family event without you, and I guess I'll get thru the rest of my life without you, no matter how much I don't want to. I think of you a hundred times a day. I even wish you would haunt me, so I could talk to you. I still miss you so much. I'll love you til the day I die. Lynne

It's 4 months today, and I had a bad night last night. I still miss you so much. I don't want to sleep alone. I don't want to be alone. I want to go to the resteraunts with you, and for rides. I want to get up in the morning and know I can find you in the garage. I want to hug you and smell you after a bath, when you smell so good. I just want you back.All my love is with you til I see you again. Our first great-grandchild was born on May 1st. It was a boy, a big boy, 10 lbs and 7ozs.. He's beautiful. Another thing I wish I could share with you. I love you. I miss you. I always will. Your wife. Lynne

Well; It's been over three months now, and I still miss you terrebly. I've been in Fla. with Jim and his family for 2 months, which helped alot. Yes, I actually went down on a plane, and came back on a plane alone, scared to death. It's beautiful down there, so clean and so flat; [no hills], and warm every day. You would have loved it. All I could think of was that you should have been there with me. You should have shared my first vacation with me. You should have been on that plane with me to hold my hand and tease the fear out of me. I was so mad at you for leaving me. I'm glad to say though, that I'm much better now, and I think I'm going to be allright. You see I've forgiven you for leaving, and now I can just grieve.

Well, It's 3 months now, and I still miss you terribly. I went to Fla. for two months, and everything I did, I wished I was doing with you. You would have loved it there. It's warm every day. It's flat everywhere, and everything is so clean. I took a plane. I was scared to death, but I got thru it, and even came back home, on the plane alone. I kept thinking that you should have been with me. You should have been there with me for that first plane ride to laugh at me, tease me out of my fear and make me feel better. You should have been with me for my first vacation in Florida. I kept asking in my heart, why did you leave me. I was so mad at you. I want you to know that I'm better now, I have forgiven you. I'm getting better every day. All my love forever. Lynne

The only complaint I ever had was I couldn't complain about you to anybody. How do I go on without you? I've spent two thirds of my life with you. I don't know how? I miss you so much. All my love til we're together again. Lynne

I am one of the luckiest daughters in the world. I'll miss you forever Daddy and wish that I had one more chance to lay my head at your feet. Love Jodi

Life is bitter yet sometimes sweet as those among us cry
We live our lives out knowing that someday we must die
Tears are shed for those whove bled long after they have gone
Even so you should know that all life must go on

Why? I am sure that we all have asked ourselves that question. It may be the most frequently asked question of all, and yet, the least answered. Why him? why now? Why?
My dreams i life have always been simple,so I'd thought, and 've been lucky enough to realize most of them. I wanted an amazing wife. I have one! I wanted amazing children. I have three! I used to dream of a day that I would have grandchildren to love and spoil endlessly. I have a grandson on the way! My biggest dream has always been to hear the words "you are an amazing father". "Your a wonderfull husband". "You are a good friend". Why? Now I think, that maybe, my dreams were based on a desire to feel special.
For reasons that are personal to me, my dad, has always made me feel special. I have always wanted to tell him that, but, I did'nt.
Why? It seems that when we lose someone close to us we always ask that question. Although I would give just about anything, right now, to know the answer, I now know that there is no valid answer.
I write this with the hope that someone who reads it will realize it before it is too late. In situations of loss, once you ask that question, you open yourself up to a relentless feeling of guilt. The guilt does not come from not saying the things that needed to be said as much as it does in knowing that you denied, not only the knowledge, but more importantly, the special feeling that the knowledge would have instilled.
My dad was a wonderfull man and a great father. e made me feel special by being my father. I love him more than words could ever express. I have told that to a lot of people in my lifetime, and though I always wanted to, I never told him.
I cannot express how I feel, knowing that I denied him that knowledge and the special feelings that I can only imagine for him.
For all of you who have wanted to express your feelings to the people that you love, and yet, never have, I have only one question. Why?

You have always been there for me. Even though you don't approve of my crazy hair and piercings and what not, you approve of me, and that's all that matters. You always wanted to see others happy. When I play drums for hours on end or have 10+ friends over and we're being loud, you never once cared. All of my friends thought you were one of the funniest, most laid back people they have ever met. They were right. I really will miss you dearly and I want you to know you are my hero. I love you with all my heart. I'll try and keep my drumming quiet down here.
