Dear dad, we fondly remember better days when you were here to make life more meaningful and fulfilling. We miss you so much! As we look to the start of a fresh new year with the hope of new beginnings, the one constant that will never fade will be our undying love for you. You made a lasting impression on our lives and remain in our hearts forever! Thank you for all you did for me and the rest of the family. I'm so proud to be your daughter! I love you dad.....??

Dad, A year ago today we got the news that you had gone to be with Jesus in heaven. Although this day will forever be marked as a sad day for everyone who misses you so much, we rejoice in knowing that you are at peace - no longer in pain, and that one day we will see you again! Rest in peace sweet father... I love you with all my heart! Your daughter, Lori

John Simsek is my grandpa. He's the only grandpa I ever knew.
My family deeply grieves the loss of his life on Earth but we find happiness in knowing we will see him again. He knew Jesus!
Today my Grandpa is no longer in any pain, and he is in a place far more incredible than any one of us could imagine - Heaven.
My mom tells me what a great father he was, and I can see why. Gentle with his words, kind in his gestures and a man so full of wisdom - that was my Grandpa!

I love you, Grandma! Know that I'm praying for your strength and happiness.
I love you, Mom!
I love you, Aunt Tami!
And I love you, Uncle John.

John was my mentor and friend for 45 years. He not only taught me the moving business, but what it meant to be a man of my word. All my fond memories of John include laughter, he had a great sense of humor. John was a man's man.
I will miss him.
