O hello there dad, we meet again and this time I´m 26 and I´ll be turning 27 in December ... yikes.. isn´t that horrible :( I´m getting so much older and nothing has gotten easier about you not being here but I find ways to mange the best I can. I have so much about my life I want to tell you but this comment section couldn´t handle it. I love you so much and feel you with me every breathing moment ... getting older has gotten a lot harder and my 20´s sorta suck but I´m figuring it out day by day. Just wish I had you with me to help me ... your little girl misses you dearly and I can´t wait to give you the biggest hug in the world ... until I randomly come past this page again. I love you beyond every lifetime and world ... you are my whole universe. PFSH

23 years old ... can you believe that? like where did the time go dad ... I randomly came across this page that I´ve never seen before of people showing you so much love and it brought the hardest cry out of me. I love and miss you beyond worlds. Life has moved forward without you but not a second of it has gone by without me thinking of you... I was the biggest daddy´s girl a girl could be and losing you was the hardest thing I dealt with and still deal with today. You aren´t totally gone though and that´s what keeps me smiling. So many pieces of your soul live through me ... I am more like you then you could even imagine lol
I never got the chance to tell you this but thank you for being the best dad a girl could ever ask for. You left me with nothing but happy memories and feeling so utterly loved. Your job was well enough finished, even in such a short time. I will be reunited with you someday and that´ll be the sweetest peace my soul could ever receive.

Your presence will be greatly missed. For God said that he must go and prepare a place for us, for where he is we will be also. We must believe that you are in heaven with wings soaring like an eagle. To the family stay strong because Jesus said his GRACE is sufficient enough for thee. He will bear your burdens just try him.

James, I will never forget you as a co-worker. When I used to bring in people from the street or transport them to another facility you were always around to help make things run smoother. You have left too soon. You were one of the few REAL "workers" in the jail. You will be missed by many.
