Dad, It is one month today that you went to be with Jesus. I am doing ok, but it hurts to not have you here. I still have my days where I think I can't get through. You are so very much in my heart, and I miss and love you very much. You were the best Dad a daughter could of ever had. Your memories will be a part of my life and will always be tucked deep inside my heart. God Bless You Dad. I will always love you. Love Your Daughter Teresa

Dad, This Christmas was rough, but I know that life goes on. I think about you everyday in some way or another. It may be through a song we sang in church, when we sang Amazing Grace in church I cried, or it may have been through a conversation I had with someone. It was really hard this Christmas to not have you here, but you are in a much better place looking down on us and you are protecting us in all we do. Scott has been there for me to lift me up when I am down. I miss your smile, your laughter, and all your hugs and kisses. You are with me where ever I go. In my heart is where you will always be. I love you so very much and I miss you so very much. Until we meet in Heaven, do tell everyone we know up there I miss them too. God Bless You Dad. With all my love, From your daughter Teresa
