Dear Dad,
Happy 103rd birthday in Heaven. The years keep passing, but the memories never fade. The older I get, the more important childhood memories become. I think about the houses we lived in, our new Chevy convertible, being hosed down on a hot summer day, weekend trips to the beach, wonderful dinners mom made for us, that one Christmas our cat knocked down the tree breaking a few ornaments, but Mom took it in stride with humor. Just want you to know I will always embrace the good times we had as a family. Wishing my dad a continued peaceful Eternal sleep.
Your Loving Daughter

Dear Dad,
Wishing you a peaceful birthday in heaven. You would have been 102 today, and Mommy would have celebrated her 100th birthday in February. I understand we can't have our parents forever. You left this world 22 years ago this June, and Mommy left 4 years ago in the same month. I wonder if there's a reason why June was chosen to take you both. Mom thought of you often and embraced the memories we had together as a young family. I know she wants you to rest in peace. Now that she's in heaven with you, please take care of her for me.
Your loving daughter,
Micheline

Dear Dad,
You left us 22 years ago, and I pray that your Eternal sleep has been peaceful. Your passing was my first experience with grief and it left an indelible mark on my heart. Since then, I had to say goodbye to my dear brother Gilbert in 2018 and our precious mommy Denise in 2020. It would have shattered your heart to live through that sorrow.
Even though our family went their separate ways and lived different lives, God takes us one by one so we may continue our mortal journey until we are reunited once again in heaven.
Your loving daughter,
Micheline

Dear Dad,
July 10th would have been your 101st birthday. Instead, we honor your 21st birthday in heaven. It has taken many years to accept and heal from the loss of our father. Since then, two more precious loved ones now share Eternity with you. Please kiss my sweet brother Gilbert and beloved Mommy Denise. We now have three angels watching over us. I will always remember how you loved driving your new 1961 Chevy Impala convertible. Memories I will cherish forever. Happy Birthday Daddy.
Love always,
Micheline

Dear Dad,
June 20th is your 21st anniversary in heaven. I think of you often and hope you're resting in peace. I'm still grieving over the loss of Mommy and I know you would be sad if you were here today and had to experience that sorrow. We are all trying our best to be strong and thankful at the same time that we were so lucky she lived to be 96. But the longer we share our life with someone, the more painful it is to let go. I hope you both met and enjoy reminiscing about the life we all shared together as a family. Happy anniversary Dad. Please continue to watch over us.
Love,
Micheline

Dearest Dad - today you would have celebrated your 100th birthday. You've been gone twenty years, but I no longer dwell on the date you left this world. I take comfort embracing the date you were born, more important as we continue our own journey through life. You know I will always cherish the good memories, mon pere. July 10, 1922 - Forever. Your loving daughter,

Happy Anniversary Dad. Our family lost you 20 years ago today. It shocks me to know two decades have passed. It took a long time to find peace in the knowledge that you no longer suffer. Losing precious mommy two years ago has shattered my heart once again. I'm sure you both met by now and have a lot to say to each other. Only the good times, and there were many. Rest in peace, Dad. Love, Micheline

Happy 99th birthday, Dad,
I can still remember playing your old 78s from the 1940s Swing era, and how you appreciated the rock and roll of my generation. I'll always cherish the love we shared for great music and smile when I think of those days.
Happy Birthday, Dad - you will always be safe in my heart.

Hello Dad,
It doesn't feel like nineteen years since you departed this life, and I hope your spirit is resting in peace. Losing Mommy a year ago has left a huge void in my heart and the healing process is painfully slow. Now that Mom and Gil have made the ultimate journey, their spirits will keep you company until we all meet again.
Love,
Micheline

Dear Dad,
Wishing you a happy 98th birthday in heaven. I know you have the company of your beloved son, Gilbert - my brother, best buddy and hero. It's been three weeks since Mommy left us and the void in my heart is deep as I try to accept that nothing can bring her back. Just as nothing could bring you or Gil back. You and Mom always had lively conversations and laughed a lot. I remember hearing it when I was a kid running through the house. And those fabulous dinners Mom always cooked up for us. There were many good times when we were together as a young family, and I choose to remember those above all else. This photo is the beautiful family that will always be yours. I remember that day like it was yesterday. You're in there too, Dad, even though we can't see you. You were looking at us when you took the picture and no more than a few feet away. I know you waited to welcome Mom and have lots to catch up on. The past is behind you now. You have Eternity.
With love forever,
Micheline (the Bell)

Dear Dad,
Today's date showed me how quickly the years pass. It's hard to believe you departed this world eighteen years ago. Just like any major milestone in one's life, it becomes embedded in our minds where we don't notice the passage of time until it creeps on us. I hope your eternal rest has been comforting and serene, with no longings for the past. You have now been joined by our beloved mommy Denise, who left us on Sunday, June 14th. Her final moments were in the presence of me, Lance, Christine and your beloved son Gilbert who was there in spirit. At 96, mommy lived a beautiful long life and I am proud to have looked after her all these years. Her children sat by her side and showered her with caresses and whispers of love. I know she heard us. Mom is at peace now, as I know you are. Sleep well, Daddy.
Your daughter,
Micheline

Dear Dad,
July 10th will always be the date I prefer to remember you by. Rather than celebrate the Day of your passing, it is more comforting to celebrate the Day of your birth. When you passed, you were only 3 weeks from your 80th birthday, and today you would have turned 97. Please know that you are always in my heart and I pray for your continued eternal peace. Our beloved Gilbert, your second son, is now resting in the heavens with you and hopefully your spirits will meet. And just as we did for your memory, we just received the Presidential Memorial certificate honoring Gilbert's military service. Wishing you a Happy Birthday, Daddy. With Love, "Mich"

Dear Dad,
It's been a while since I visited your page, but I think of you often, and our hearts continue to mourn the loss of our precious Gilbert. It's been a little over a year and I still have trouble realizing that he is not just away for a while, but gone forever. It was the same for me when you passed away, and it took many years before I could accept that you were at peace. I hope with all my heart that you and Gilbert are able to find a path and reunite as father and son. Until we all meet again, wishing you a Happy Father's Day in heaven, Daddy.
Your loving daughter always,

Hello Dad,
I wanted to come here tonight and wish you a Happy Birthday, and to let you know that you are never forgotten. I pray that your rest has been peaceful these past sixteen years, because there is something you need to know. Daddy, we lost our beloved Gilbert on April 3rd! He was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma and was in remission for several years until relapsing in November. We cherished those precious years he fought so bravely for, but our hearts are destroyed. You know Mommy is taking it the hardest, but I am doing all I can to comfort her as we mourn together. I just wanted you to know that Gil made his final journey and received a full military funeral. Dad, you would have been so proud of him. Please forgive me for bringing you such sad news on your birthday, but I know you would have wanted to be a part of Gil's life and support him during his struggle. At least you know where he is now, and until we all meet again, he is in our hearts forever just as you are. Happy Birthday, mon pere.
Your loving daughter always,
Micheline

Dearest Daddy,
July 10, 1922 celebrates the day you came into this world. I take comfort in choosing to embrace that date, as there is no comfort in dwelling on the day you passed from this life. Despite the years we missed, you know how much I love you, and Mommy keeps you in her silent thoughts. You would have been 95 today, but you remain ageless in my heart. Happy Birthday, Beloved Dad!
With love,
Your Micheline

Dear Dad, on this fifteenth anniversary of your passing, I am shocked to see how the years have flown by so quickly. I love this photo of you from your high school yearbook circa 1940. You were such a handsome young man at 17, and later in life you always looked this way to me during my growing up years. This is how I will always remember you...forever young. Missing you so much! Love, Micheline

Hello Daddy,
No special occasion today, but to say I'm thinking of you. That was reason enough, so I just wanted to say I love you. Your little girl is retiring this year, can you believe it? All is well here, and I am looking after Mommy as you would have done. So do not worry. Sleep now, Daddy. I'll be back.
Love,

Hi Daddy,
Had the Lord not called you 14 years ago, this would have been your 94th birthday. You never got to see your 80th for the cancer that took you. But I count each birthday, because you are more than just a memory. You are my father, and even though I cannot see you, you are always there. My constant comfort is the music we both loved, and hearing something new, knowing you would like it too. Your spirit lives, and I will love and miss you forever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Daddy!
Love,

Hello Daddy,
On this fourteenth anniversary of your passing, I think of you often, wishing we could relive those special memories one last time. They are a sacred part of the life we shared as a family and made me the person I am today. Your heart can rest easy knowing that Mommy "Zee" is with me and well looked after. You will always be a part of us, loved, missed and cherished forever.

Dear Daddy...this week is your seventh anniversary, and I no longer count the weeks and months since you've been gone. Now I count the years...and I am still saying hello, hoping you can hear me somehow. Maybe it's because I never got the chance to say goodbye. There will be no goodbyes for us and the songs we loved play forever. Always your loving daughter...xoxox

On this Memorial Day weekend, I think of you and all who served our country with honor. I wish you were here to share your own WW-2 memories. But most of all, I miss my father. The special Sunday trips to B&W Bakery, and so much more. Your seventh anniversary is painfully near, so I'll be back, Daddy. I'll always be here.

Dearest & Beloved Daddy,
The holidays have passed and so have more than six years. My heart still aches and always will - but we must go on with our lives, so I manage the best I can. When I think of you and Christmases gone by, I am overwhelmed by the power of memories, and how much they mean to me. HAPPY NEW YEAR, Daddy with love...xoxoxox

Our first Christmas together in 1948
is long ago. Today we know 2002 was to
be the fateful year you would leave us.
There shall be no joy for us this holiday.
But the little family you and I bore to this world
will help me recall good and happier times.
For this, I thank God!
Till we meet again…hush…hush…sleep tight.

Had you not decided to let go just little early, this would have been your 80th birthday today. But only you could know when the time was right - to close your eyes and see the light. I hope you're resting peacefully tonight. Wishing you a Happy Birthday Dad,

More memories. Those Sunday drives to the bakery for crumb cake and onion board. A special Christmas when I was ten. Lots of gifts under the tree, but none with my name that I could see. You soon ended my misery, with a shiny new bicycle just for me!
If you reach out, you will feel my hand, and see a smile that holds the answer you have wished for. It shall be yours for all eternity.
A kiss for Daddy with love,
