Dad,
Today is December 26, 2006 and we had our first Christmas without you.
This has been so hard on all of us but especially on Vivian. She misses
sharing this very special time of year with you. I do have some things
to tell you that still honor your memory. Vivian heads the choir at
church and after the Christmas concert they all presented her with four
more pieces of the nativity scene that you started for her. She was in
tears as she told the congregation about how you surprised her with the
first pieces of the Nativity scene that she will treasure forever. It
will always remind her of you and how special the love between ya'll
was. It was a very moving moment at church and I was glad that I was
able to witness it. Another honor bestowed to you was that the
neighborhood association awarded your yard with the first place prize
this year for the beautiful Nativity scene and the lovely angels
outside. It is absolutely wonderful. I hope you had a Merry Christmas
celebrating the birth of Jesus with our family in heaven. Mark lives at
mom's house for now and has actually asked his girlfriend to marry
him. I sure do hope that he can pull his life together. Vivian
presented the three of us with a beautiful picture frame with photos of
you and I will treasure it always. I miss you and will always love more
than words can express. I am forever blessed for having you as my dad.
You were loved by so many and you touched alot of people. I am proud to
say that you were my father. Dustin misses you so much. This year has
been hard for him but we are all there for him and he knows that.
Ashley and Zach miss you alot too. I tell them all the time how lucky I was to have been blessed with such a great dad and they feel lucky for having such a great grandpa. Thank you for being my dad and loving me
the way you did. I thank God for putting you in my path. I think about
you every day and I am forever grateful that God put you in my life.
You were a true gift to me and to our entire family. We are better
because of you.
I Love You!

Dad,

I miss you and think about you each and every day that goes by. I don't know that I will ever get over you not being here. I know that you are with Jesus but I still miss you so much that it breaks my heart. You would have been 65 on November 3rd. Vivian took flowers to the cemetary and put them at your grave. It was a hard day for us all. You are loved and missed but the day will come when we meet again.

Until later,

Dad,

Today is September the 18th and I turned 40 last Thursday. I missed

calling you and reminding you about it. I realized that I couldn't ever

call you and tell you about it again. I miss you so much and still

cannot believe that you are really gone. I have your picture in my

living room and see your sweet face smiling at me every day. I wish

you were still here but I take comfort in the fact that you are now

my guardian angel and that one day I will see you again in heaven. Thank

you for being my father for 39 years. I feel forever blessed and I know

that I was the luckiest girl in the world because of my dad.

Always,

Cyndi

Dad,

It has been almost five months since you left and I still can't believe you are really gone. I am still in awe that God thought I was worthy enough to have you as my father. I was so incredibly blessed that it is beyond my imagination. You were my hero in every way and I thank you for every lesson that you taught me. I miss your sweet smile and wonderful sense of humor. I will love and adore you always. I know God is happy to have you by his side and we were so lucky that he shared you with us.

I love you always and will cherish every memory.

Dear Everett's family,

My heart goes out to all of you with prayers that your hearts will heal. I didn't get to spend a great deal of time with Everett, however, I saw him every so often when I was with Alyssa or Dustin. The one thing I always noticed about him though was his constant and loving heart for Dustin. I thought of him as not only Dustin's Grandfather but one of Dustin's angels. He has a beautiful heart and it didn't take me long to figure that out. He also has a beautiful family that I wouldn't have known without him. Alyssa has been a great friend over the years. It's one of those friendships for life and I thank Everett for giving her to this world as well as Dustin.

Vivian, my heart especially goes out to you also. You said something to me at the hospital about "finally finding the one and there just not being enough time." I saw your love for him and it touched my soul. You have been so blessed to have had the opportunity to feel such great love and that kind of love never dies. You two will meet again in God's presence. Again, My love and prayers go out to all of you.

May God's healing hand be upon you,

Alyssa Sanders

Thank you for three beautiful children and their 3 incredible children. Thank you for the many wonderful memories and the most important gesture, the love that you gave so willing to Dustin.

Dad,

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes and joy in heart that I was so lucky to have had the most precious person ever as my daddy. I will remember our wonderful times together and smile. You taught me what unconditional love for your child really means. I hope that I made you proud.

I love you so much that my heart hurts. Take care and think of me sometimes.

Until we meet again,

Your daughter, Cyndi
