Dear Aunt Isie, Gaye and Jill:

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers across the miles, during this difficult time. I have such great memories of being a kid, visiting at your house and looking up to Tom-he was my godfather and I was kind of in awe of him! Anyway, I wish I could be there with you now. Love always,

Dear Dad-
It still feels like a bad dream. I just began to spread the word of your visit and then I get the phone call that tells me you won't be coming. Your passing has been tough, but I feel it has made me stronger. I will always cherish time we had together and the closeness we shared miles apart. I still could have used many more years together, but rest assure I will never forget any life lessons you have taught me and will be sure to pass them on to my children, along with stories of their Generous Cowboy Grandpa." I love you dad and I miss you!

Rest in Peace,
With Love,
Your Baby Daughter Traci
