HI, DADDY,
It is so hard to believe that it has been 4 years & 5 months since you were taken from us. Mom misses you every day as so do we. I miss you so much every minute of every day. When you left us you left a giant hole in my heart that I haven't been able to fill and I know that I never will be able to fill it. I know that you wtch over us everyday from HEAVEN where you are and I need you to keep us in check and don't let us fail in anything you instilled in us.I hope that someday we will be together again in Heaven. Whisper in MOM's ear once in a while so that she won't be so feel so lonely. I know that are here in SPIRIT all the time.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! I ALWAYS WILL!!
FATHER'S DAY WAS JUST NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.
I LOVE YOU.. I LOVE YOU .. I LOVE YOU..

Hi DADDY, This letter is very hard, harder than the others, because of the fact that it is going to be the first FATHER'S DAY without you. You can't imagine what is going on with us because we all miss you so very much. I know MOM will be very sad this weekend. We will try to get her mind off of this but that will be very hard. The girls will be coming over and then on next week we all will be at the RELAY FOR LIFE in your HONOR. Janet and Oscar will be running again for you. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. Talk to you very soon.

Hi,Daddy I am sorry that it has been a while since I last wrote you. We are all fine as you know. Mom is doing good. You know how hard it is for us. Everything around us reminds us of you. A song, a motion that someone does, a saying we hear from someone. etc. I can practically smell you around us. This Easter everyone was at m house. For Mothers day too. I don't want to even think about Father's day. That will be very hard. Every one says hi. Love you, Miss You Very Much. Talk to you soon. I LOVE YOU

Hi Daddy, just wanted to talk to you, I know that you are watching us and keeping us safe all the time. We feel you with us always. I miss you so much it hurts. But I know that you are still with us and will never leave us. It is so very hard when I hear a song you sang or watch something you liked to watch. Fabian is always watching wrestling because he knows you always watched it. Mom was over for the weekend last week, don't worry about her we are all watching out for her. She always leaves a light on for you at night. We all miss you very much. I miss you very much, but I know I have to be strong for the kids, because they are always asking for you,

where is Baby Papa? is what they always ask. we try to tell them so they will understand. I love you always. talk to you soon.

We tell the that you are our Guardian Angel, and that you are taking care of all of us.WE MISS YOU SO MUCH. We try spend as much time with my mom as possible. but you already know how she is . She hurts so bad, but you know she will be alright because she is a very strong person. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH>I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE> bye for now

Hi grandpa, i just wanted to let you know how much we miss you. I think about you every day. Bianca is always asking for you, but she understands that you are an angel in heaven taking care of us. It is really hard to visit grandma without being sad that your not there. When i walk in to your room, i expect to see you there in your bed, but your not. Grandma still has your clothes hanging right where you left them. Your robe is hanging in the bathroom. I know grandma misses you alot. Don't worry about her. We will all be there for her. We miss you so much. Love, Charlie, Ruby and Bianca

Hi, Daddy

I was drinking my coffee at my kitchen table, and looking at your pictures on the entertainment center,I was thinking about all the things you told me and that we talked about, especially these last few months before you started getting sicker. I know that one of your wishes did't come true before this happened, but I know that she was still with us all that time. The kids miss you very much. I know that you are everywhere that we go. We all feel your presence on a daily basis. I hope you keep an eye on in everything we do. I talk to MOM every day and I still go over as much as I can, but that is very hard and you know why. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, and I WILL MISS YOU ALL FOR EVER. Talk to you soon. your loving daughter.
