Dad, we do miss you. I'm glad you came to me in a dream. You looked like the extremely handsome younger man that I remember(complete with a green polo). It was exactly the way you looked (back around 1997 or 1998) at Shawna's summer band concert (James A. Dever). Well rest in peace little Bee, I'll look out for little Gee.

Poppy, Words can't describe the feelings I have about you. I'll always remember how interested you were in my grades, and my playing the viola. When I'm at orchestra, I'll think of you. I can remember back to when I was little, you were such a big part of my life. God blessed you with an extremely long life, nothing gold can stay. Love, Christian Reed

Dad, I hope my little "bee" is at peace now. Although I really miss you, I feel that you were suffering way too much on earth. However, even at your worst moments you always asked about Christian. I remember back to the days when you were well, and you took care of everything for me. I guess things in life are always changing (something I'm getting used to every day). I hope that you're having the happiest afterlife. Love, itty, bitty, pretty one-Nancy

Dad, I hope my little Bee is at peace. I'll miss all the times, when you were at your worst, but you still asked about Christian. Even though life won't be the same without you, I have to think your sufferting has ceased. Love and Kisses, your Itty bitty pretty one, Nancy

Dad, I will miss the Best father in the world. I was lucky to have had you. You will be my guardian angel now- I'll play "Jambalaya" on my car radio every time I pass Holy Rood!!!
