Rest in peace my "Big Dad." Hope you are watching over doggies, Frosty, Sara Lee, Lizzi-Lu, Bobby and mother up there with you. Grandma and Aunt Jerry too. Miss you forever and forever... Life is still very solum without you and your enlightenment. I am experiencing that growing older is not what I expected, without my "Big Dad" around to balance this crazy world out and no whatsoever, family emotional support nearby or love. Please watch over me and doggies and keep us healthy, safe, and happy until we all will meet again.
Love you and always think about you....Your "Big Girl" Candy and doggies......

Happy Birthday in heaven to my "Big Dad". In my mountain home, I continue to keep, vacant, a cozy guest bedroom, that should have been for you, arranged with family photos and memorabilia of you. Often I go there, and sit in your chair, and pretend you will be coming home. I keep this room to remind me what could have been your senior life, if you had not died so tragically and unexpectedly. Even though time has passed, my grieving has not, and I miss you so very much. I miss my mother Clara "Lizzi" Robbins, my little brother, Bobby Shipley, Grandma, Aunt Jerry, my Uncles, and my Frosty, Sara-Lee and Lizzi-Lu . Hope you are putting on that "Jackie Gleason smile and demeanor and you and Bobby are keeping the family, all orderly up there. Giving them all alot of laughter and attitude, as you always made time down here to do frequently. Take care of your "Grand Pups", up there and I pray that you will watch over me and the doggies down here, till we can all be together again. I will never forget you and always will love you. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Happy 88 birthday Big Dad. Love and kisses from Candy, your "Big Girl".

In memory of my Dad.
Well once again we talk through the pages of your Legacy Book. So much you have missed in the last five years since you passed away, but not for the better I would say to you.
I have experienced the pain and anquish in the faces of my fellow Americans with the tragedy of 911 and the continuation of Terrorists all around the world.
I have experienced the loss of employment, income, due to the everyday deteriorating conditions of the state of our economy.
I have experienced the blessedness and greatness of the country's first black President. He gives me and many others across the country great hope of a turn around and a better way of life for this next decade we are now approaching.
I have experienced the price of loaf of premium bread go to almost $4.00 a loaf. Milk and eggs now cost over$3.00 an item. Hamburger ground meat now cost over $3.00 per pound. Home and auto and health insurance costs are approaching unaffordable amounts. Many of us now have no health insurance because we cannot afford the premiums, or cannot qualify due to pre-existing conditions.
Unknown viruses and mysterious deaths due to unknown causes and diseases are everyday attacking us, with no known immediate cures. We are advised by the government to get vaccinated and road side clinics are set up for convenience to get these vaccinations, yet no cures are know to stop these diseases, just vaccinations to prolong the events.
I have experienced children killing their parents, their siblings, their classmates, parents killing their children and other family members.
If you would have lived to experience these events during the last five years, that I have experienced, you would not be happy, you would not be calm and serene. You are truly in a better place.
I continue to miss you daily and always you are in my prayers, my thoughts and my memories. I talk to you often as I am talking to you now, but cannot hear your answer but feel your love within my heart. Rest in Peace my beloved best friend, my buddy, my confident, and my big Dad. Please continue to love and pet and watch over my beloved little Sara Lee and Frosty and all of my missed and love family members that have passed over, and now rejoice in Heaven with you and the Lord.
Five years of missing you, not hearing your voice, our phone calls, our dining room table chats, time has not made it easier for me because I miss you so much, but know that you are definitely in a better place than the world I live in now.
As you once said to me, and I try to follow this each day since your passing....
"One thing nice about the future, is it always starts tomorrow"....."I hope tomorrow will be a better day than today....."
I love you my big Dad

I only knew your Father for a short time but in those times I knew what a wonderful person he was and what a good father he was to you,my best friend. I am so sorry for your loss and I know one day you will be together again. Just remember he is still watching over you and loves you very much. Your good friend,almost sister,and one that cares about you. So do not feel sad be happy because he is happy now and in a beautiful place. Love Joanie.

Happy Birthday my beloved Dad. You would have been 82 today, and I would be signing the Happy Birthday song to you, and be all excited about the Birthday gift that I would personally pick out for you. Now all I can do is in my heart and in my prayer wish you a Happy Birthday in Heaven now. Take good care of yourself, enjoy all the blessings of Heaven, and take care of my Frosty and my Sara Lee, and your little Licorice and your old doggie Princess too. Pet them for me and give them a big hug and kisses. I think about you all the time and miss you so very much. I love you Dad... Rest in Peace my best friend, my pal, my mentor and my beloved Dad.

Happy 81 Birthday Dad
I wish so much that I could give you a Birthday kiss and hug today,and stand with you in a Birthday photo, and give you a gift of something that you would really want, even though you would always tell me " I dont need anything, just for me to be happy", you would always remind me. Just like old times..............
I would first call you in the morning and sing to you a Happy Birthday song. Just like old times................
Another Birthday has come and gone and I still miss you and am so lost without you. I bought some Lotto tickets today, just like we used to do on Birthdays. Just like old times................
I love you so much and my heart is in so much sorrow each year your Birthday has come to pass.
Rest in peace and take care of my doggies up there, Sara Lee and Frosty too. I love you Dad and think about you each and every day.
Time has not allowed me to heal, there is no closure, I miss you so terribly. Love you....
Your......"Big Girl"

Where does time go or maybe it doesn't go anywhere. What if you remained and we were the ones who moved forward? What if you are right here but the curtain of time won't let us see or hear you? If this be the case then please continue your prayers and good thoughts streaming downward into Oakland Park...your Candy girl misses you Uncle Jim.
Rest in Peace!

There is not a day that goes by in your lifetime that you will not remember your loving father. He will be with you everyday and is watching over you and doggies. He is in a better place then we are now. He will always love you and one day you will be together again. Always remember that each year it gets better but never will you forget. Your friend Joanie.

Say a prayer for all the parents and grandparents that are gone. Remind their grandchildren and family that they raised of who they were. And enjoy the life that they wanted for you and worked so hard to give us all. Do something fun and remember them. Even if its a walk on a nice day.

Dear Dad
It now is three years since you passed over into Heaven. I hope you are looking down on me and Jamie and all your loved ones down here and watching over us. Please give a hug and a big pat to my little Sara Lee who, now is your little doggie up there in Heaven. Both of you can keep each other company until my time comes to join you guys up there.
I have to say once again, that "time does NOT heal", I think about you everyday, and miss you so much, just to hear your voice and your words of advice I yearn for. Dad you were truly my best friend, and I am so very, very lonely now that you have passed over. I just cannot express the words of your loss to my life here, anybetter, than these. I love you, "Rest In Peace", like the words you always said to my Mother when you drove by her cemetery. "Rest in peace Big Dad". I will never stop loving you and missing you. I look at your picture and think about you each and every day. I miss you so much.

March 7, 2007 ( Remembering your passing on Monday, 7:58 A.M. March 7, 2005)...........
Dear Dad:
It doesn't get any easier as time passes as they say. It has been two years now, and the thought of not ever being able to speak words with you or see you again, upsets my heart and soul. I know now that I must accept that you are gone for eternity, and I must make my own way until my time will come, to join you and the rest of my pets and other family in Heaven.
I wanted to honor you once again, at this time of memory of those we love who have passed. I learned so much about kindness, love of one another, respect for others, and to maintain, patience and be positive. You always would remind me to "Think Positive". Now more than ever is the time in my life down here on earth, that I have to adhere to that good informational guidance that you once gave me.
Please look over that little doggie Sara Lee, up there, make sure she is by your side, and you give her lots of treats, rub downs and ear scratching, she always loved that and loved being near you. Now she is under your comfort and care, as I cannot be. I miss her so very much. She was truly "man's best friend. No other can match the emotional love that we had for one another. Lizzi-Lu misses her too, you can still see in her eyes. Take care of all the family up there, Mother, Grandma, Aunt Jerry, Frosty, Sara Lee, and all the others who have gone before me. Keep a watchful eye over your loved ones down here, if you are allowed, and keep us healthy and safe until our last days when we will all be together once again.
I love you with my heart and soul, and miss you with all my being. You were my best friend, and the best Dad, anyone could ever have had the privilege, for being called your daughter. You are one of a kind, and no one will ever, ever, take your place.
God Bless You, on your anniversary of your second Year in Heaven.
Love, Candy and doggies

Happy Birthday Big Dad, you would have been 79 today. I think about you everyday, and when I drive that big old bus by your neighborhood each week, I get so sad, and lonely for you.
I miss all our father/daughter chats, I could alway tell you what is going good and what is going bad, and you would listen and advise me. Now there is no one left to do that with. Please look after my little Sara Lee who passed away this year, her birthday would be coming up to on Nov. 5, and Bobby's birthday would have been Nov. 1. All you guys are up there now, so rest, eat good, and be happy....
Please pat little Sara Lee for me, and try and get her to sing to you, she always loved to sing.... Jamie had a beautiful baby girl, and on her birthday yet. How nice that is for her always...and she is married now to a real nice guy who she says she loves so much. Dont worry about us, we will be ok, down here, but please if the Lord lets you, keep an eye on us and keep us safe, and please make me happy again, like I used to be. Take care of Mother and Grandma, and Aunt Jerry too up there.
I miss you so dam much, it is so hard to forget you, and that little doggie of mine....My new puppy is doing real good with Lizzi-Lu, I just cant stop them from playing soooo much. They are so cute, and do keep me company and always give me a huge "sounding ovation" as I enter my garage door from work each day.
Ok, enough said, I will keep talking and praying to you up there, please watch over me OK..... Love ya, always and Goodby...for now...
Candy....."Your Big Girl".....and doggies...Lizzi-Lu and Lula Bell too.....
P.S. "Good night my little Sara Lee"" Mommy misses you so much, you were my best friend. Grandpa will take care of you guys up there...."

Uncle Jimmy,
You were the best! I saw so very little of you throughout the years but whenever I did get to see you or speak with you, you made me feel like a million bucks!You were always so positive and full of life!
I hope that you are in heaven and looking down on Candy. She misses you so very much. Please say a word to her angel to give her comfort.
May God bless you Uncle Jimmy!
Love,

Dear Dad, it is almost a year coming up in the next few days, that you have been gone, and I still miss you so very much.
I miss our father-daughter talks, our cooking up meals, our career planning moments, doggie babysitting and doggie care moments, I just miss you.
Rest in peace Dad, I will always keep you in my heart and will always love the memory of you and all you meant to me.
I also, am in the last decades of my life now, and just wish you could have been here to advise me on the delicacies of "growing older".
I hope I will be as perky, quick of thought, and intelligence, as you were when you were 77 years old. You were always so very young in heart and spirit, and you loved your children.
Love from me and doggies to the greatest man on earth I ever met.....My Dad.......
Have fun up there, eat good, enjoy heaven and all your loved ones and family member for eternity.
May God rest your soul.......be blessed......
You are another angel looking over all of your children down here......
Candy, Nanci, Jamie,
and
Sara Lee & Lizzi-Lu "wuf...wuf"......
