PaPa you have been a wonderful father-in-law. In later years we became so close. I will always have fond memories of you coming over to the house to eat with us, and all the times I brought you lunch, to fatten you up. We both enjoyed the company. I miss and love you dearly. May you rest in peace in Gods arms surrounded by your loved ones that passed before you. And may you always be surrounded by angels. Love, your daughter-in-law Pam Zipperer.

Pam I pray that your dad is at peace now. I believe that before you die, loved ones that have passed on do surround you, to take you on to heaven... maybe you can take comfort in knowing that? I am praying that you can stay focused on all the blessings your dad has brought into your life, so perhaps during this time life will not be so hard on you. For so many years your dad was a much better father to me than my own. Your mother played a big part in my growing up.
I consider you my sister if only in my heart. You are so right life is not easy. Just keep your eyes on Christ and know that your mom and dad are in a better place, watching over you
God bless you and
your family.
Love always Teri.

Jimmy, in the short period of time we had together we grew very close. You were a wonderful man and a great father. You gave me your most precious gift, the love of your daughter Pam. That is a gift I shall always treasure. I know that in time to come we will meet again in Heaven. You are at peace now and I look forward to that day which we will meet again. We will miss you dearly but, we will carry on with all the great memories we built together. Pam and I love you greatly, and will cherish you always.

Daddy how do i express in words how grateful i am to have been your little girl for 46 years? I will miss you dearly as part of my heart went with you. But as i grieve i know we will meet again one day in heaven. Oh what a wonderful day that will be. We became so close after we lost mama and you came to live with Brian and i.You fought so hard to stay here with us but the lord had greater plans for you so he called you home to heaven. Now you are at home in heaven with mama, David, your beloved dog hattie, and the rest of the family. Take good care of them as i know you will. I know in my heart they were all there to greet you. I have many many wonderful memorie to last my lifetime until we meet again. You were always the kind of father that if i came to you with a problem you tried your best to solve it.And i thank you for that. I know i could always count on my daddy. Now i have many gaurdian angels looking over me from heaven. How special and blessed i feel. Well daddy until we meet again good night. With all my love your daughter Pamela.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dad you and I have not always agreed but I have always respected you. Through the years I became closer to you than ever. You was my best friend. I could talk to you about anything and you could do the same. I will miss all those days but will never forget them. I love you very much and will miss you dearly. Your son and best friend Pete P.S. Take care of mama and David and I will see you again some day in heaven.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

It is so hard to put down in words memories of more than 50 years of having someone in your life.From babies to grandparents ,laughter and tears ,Uncle Jimmy has been a caring part of my life.I can hear his sweet voice saying Hey honey how are u doin? He along with Dad introduced me and the rest of the kids of family (during a family night at Moms} to snipe hunting . They really had us goin that night. He will always be missed and he will never die as long as he is in our hearts . Another thing that really impressed me was , at a time when it was not considered macho to do so. He would take care of cooking cleaning and tending to children and everything . He would jump right in an do all he could even when his health was bad . I was very proud of his example. He was a good man. I will always hold him in my heart and hope to see him in the future. Love From Janice and Leon

I would like to say how deeply heartfelt the passing of this great man is to me. I may not have known him very long, but for the two and a half years that I did, this man showed me love and accepted me as his own. I am truly greatful for that and will never forget that. I loved Pa as my own papa, although I was not able to be by his side as often as i would have liked to have been. I will never forget Pa, and will always love and remember him for as long as I am alive. I will live my life to its fullest intent and enjoy life as much as possible because you never know just how long God has left for you on this Earth. I love you Pa. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the loss of this wonderfully loved man.

Just thought I would drop in and say a few things about one of the greatest person in the world. Papa was the highlight of a bad day and was the most fun loving person in my life. I just as well as everyone in his life did not want him to go but that is one of those things god has in store for us all. In one word if I could explain papa I would have to say (GREAT). I miss him so much already and it as only been two days. Most of all I wish I would have done a few things different just so Granny and Papa could have seen me make something of myself. That's ok I know that both of them will be able to see me from where they are at now. I just want both them to know that I love the both of them with all of my heart. PS. I love you both so so so so much!!!!

himself. Family is so

Jimmy,
I will miss you more than words can express. From the first day we meet you and your lovley wife Daisy have always treated me like a son. You where always ready with praise and/or critisim to ensure that I was always following my heart and not just my head. Since Pam and Brian are like a sister and brother to Cindy and myself, you told me I would be treated as a son and I will truly miss that. But we know that now you will be able to watch over us always. I will always cherish the talks and advice that you so unselfishly shared.

Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Daisy were both very kind, family oriented people.They always opened their home and their hearts to any who came to visit them,and always came to comfort any family member who
was going through the loss of a loved one such as you are now.
May God grant you peace and comfort you in this time of mourning. Love, Aun't Bonnie and Uncle Hilary

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
