DAD,
I DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE I LOVE SO MUCH LEAVES ME. WHEN YOU WERE SICK HE WOULD COME UP AND SIT WITH ME AT THE HOSPITAL, OR VISIT YOU AT THE NURSING HOME WHILE I WOULD BE UP AT THE HOSPITAL TAKING CARE OF MA, HE WOULD ALWAYS CALL ME IF THEIR WAS A PROBLEM; WHEN MA AND JEFFREY WAS SICK HE WOULD CALL ME AND LET ME VENT, WHEN I WAS LOSSING JEFFREY HE TOLD ME DON'T WORRY I'LL BE YOUR BIG BROTHER DOWN HERE AND WATCH OUT FOR YOU LIKE JEFF DID. WE BECAME SO CLOSE THE MEMORIES I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CHERISH; BUT IT STILL DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION? I KNOW GOD MUST OF NEEDED ANOTHER ANGEL BUT HIS BOYS, MOTHER, SISTER, AND FAMILY NEEDE HIM HERE!!!!!!!!!IKNOW YOU ARE ALL WAITING TO HUG AND KISS HIM AND WELCOME HIM HOME.

PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE ANYTHING LIKE THAT, PLEASE ASK THE BIG GUY AND OUR SPECIAL ANGELS TO BE WITH THEM AND LET YOUR MERCY SHINE DOWN ON THEM, THIS I PRAY
January 14, 2012
DAD,
SEVEN YEARS WENT BY AND IT STILL FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I LOST MY BEST FRIEND. WHEN PEOPLE TELL YOU THAT IT WILL GET EASIER WITH TIME THAT IS SUCH A LIE BECAUSE I MISS YOU EVEN MORE..

YOU WERE MYLIFE, IMISS YOU SOO MUCH.
CALL ME SELFISH, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE AND THAT GOD NEEDE ANOTHER ANGEL UP THERE BUT I STILL NEEDED MY DAD,MY BEST FRIEND. PLEASE DAD BE WITH ME, I HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND I'M SCARED, I WISH YOU AND MA WERE HERE CAUSE USE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

hi dad. i am sorry that i have not wrote you, but that does not mean that i don't care. i miss you so much, that words can't even explain. i feel so lost without use, that it feels that life is just passing me by. it feels like everything you and ma worked for your whole life is gone, family was your everything; and sometimes it feels like we don' even have that. yesterday we went to the cemetry to put flowers on the grave and i felt soo lost, i know that i should be happy that use are dancing with jesus, and are with each other and are pain free, i just can't get over lossing the three of use, people tell me that it will get easier with time; but i say when?... so much has changed since your gone, my kids all graduated, and are all going to college you would be proud and god had blessed us with a new baby named noah, he's alittle pistol and keeps me going, he brings so much joy to our lives, i only wish he could have met use; i tell him about use all the time. Guess what dad, he loves popcorn and chips just like his grandpa!. he even eats them like you did that we call him jim... please dad continue to watch over us, and keep us safe and as a family as use taught us i love you and miss you please give ma, and jeffrey a kiss for me. i miss my shopping partner,and you telling me to go upstairs and take a nut pill!!!!! i love you always cathy

Everyone tells me that as time goes by, it gets easier. It just seems to be getting harder and harder. I just never realize every day that im never going to be able to get another hug from you, hear a story or jokes ever again. This just wont leave me alone, and i feel that i need to leave the house, becasue i dont feel comfortable sleeping in the same room that you did, I dont know how to deal with this all anymore, i just would love to get away for a bit. The only good news I can possibly tell you is that you have 2 more grandbabies that I know you would cherish, and that im almost done with school thank god. Well I miss you and everyone at OUR chuch misses you as well. I love you always more than anything grandpa.
