A million times I've needed you a million times I've cried. If love alone could could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved so dearly in death I I love you still. In my heart you had a place no one else can ever fill or replace. It broke my heart to lose you but you didn't go alone PART of me went with you the day God took you home.

Now all we have is memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake . With witch we'll never part God has you in his keeping.We will always have you in our hearts. I love you dad I miss you everyday of every moment I don't know how I can live or go on without you. You were and still are my best friend my everything I think of you 24/7 of everyday just wishing and hoping this was all a nightmare but sadly it's not I wish I could have that one more day I could just say I love you again or just to see you that one more time I'm specially going to miss our weds that was our special day together. But I know your in a better place in gods hands and your watching over us making sure we are doing the right thing and we can't be selfish and we need to let you go at sometime but that sometime is not now for me yet dad so I need your extra watching over me and let me know it's going to be ok because right now all I can say is "I want my daddy back God please give him back to me " I love and miss you yours always and forever Bo

The time we had dad wasn't nearly enough to pack in an entire lifetime of love. There are so many questions that I need answers to but now that your gone there's no way to ask you but there are still photos to remember you by. Each time I look at them I still want to cry. They say grief is easier to bear as time goes by but the doesn't stop me from wondering why?why my dear,sweat DAD was taken so soon when he was my guiding star my sun and my moon.There are no answers to questions like this so I'll cherish your memory and mourn the years we'll miss ! I love you Dad Always and forever until we meet again Bo

We may not understand why he left this earth so soon, but little by little, we will begin to remember that his life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories that will help push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

Richard to me you will always be Dickie Boy. I have some great memories of you that I will always cherish. Larry and you were like brothers. You and your family spent so many good times with us. I remember how we laughed when you and June showed up at our house to spend your Honeymoon with Larry and me and our friends to go to Vegas with all of us and we all had so much fun. i will always miss you Dickie Boy, but I know that you and Larry are together again and so happy.
