Henry Lindheimer Obituary

Lindheimer, Henry J. WATERVLIET Henry J. Lindheimer, 63, also of Ballston Spa, died Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany with his family at his side. Born in Troy on July 26, 1948, he was the son of the late William F. and Alice Banas-zewski Lind-heimer. Henry was a graduate of the Immaculate Conception School and Watervliet High School, class of 1966 where he played soccer and basketball. He was employed by the Norton Co. in Watervliet and by Office Assistance in Latham as a printer for many years. On April 9, 1970, Henry was appointed to the Watervliet Fire Department where he served the city as a firefighter for 25 years before retiring in January of 1995. He was a member of Local 590 of the Uniformed Firefighters Association. Henry loved to gamble and shared his mother's passion for bingo and horse racing. When he wasn't traveling, he was either thinking of his next trip or planning the next trip. He enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas and Foxwoods Casino, as well as taking cruises with his family and friends. He enjoyed card games with his buddies, hanging out at Chickie's and Deacon Blues in Watervliet and hunting. Some say he invented the name "Cuz" as a term of endearment for all his friends. Most importantly he loved with all his heart his wife Denise, their four daughters and his ten grandchildren. He is the beloved husband of 43 years of Denise M. Carroll Lindheimer; loving father of Christina M. (Jeff) Lindheimer-DiNuzzo of Ballston Spa, Carol M. (Joe) Salerno of Ballston Spa, Mary Alice (Chris) Hipwell of Latham and Ann Marie (Nick) Dillenbeck of Watervliet; adored grandfather of Kennedy and Ryan Salerno, Gabriella, Nathan, Alex and Cole DiNuzzo, Aiden and Hannah Hipwell, Ian and Nikki Dillenbeck; brother of Frederick W. (Donna) Lindheimer of Saratoga; uncle of Stacey (Kevin) Ralston, William (Tara) Lindheimer and Eric (Talia) Lindheimer; cousin of Stan (Ann) Byer of Watervliet. He is also survived by many other nieces and nephews. His family would like to acknowledge the compassion and professional care provided over the years by Dr. David Putnam, Dr. Gregg Gerety, and Dr. Inez Pagnotta, as well as the staff at St. Peters Hospital. The funeral will be Saturday at 8:15 a.m. from the Parker Bros. Memorial, 2013 Broadway, Watervliet, and at 9 a.m. at St. Ambrose Church in Latham where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Francis DuBois. Interment will follow in the Immaculate Conception Cemetery, Colonie. Relatives and friends are invited and may call at the funeral home on Friday from 4-8 p.m. In remembrance of Henry, the family requests contributions to be made to St. Peter's Hospital Foundation, Cardiac Care Unit, 319 South Manning Blvd., Suite 114, Albany, NY 12208.

As I sit here and think of what the next couple days are leading up too, I find myself becoming lost. I so wish you were here to share so many things going on in the family, and see how big the gandkids have grown. I know you see them and I often think of the smile on your face when your looking down on them. the Girls are doing alot better but still put in some tough times. They just can't seem to realize you are not going to return to them the way they wish you would. But in there heart you are with them, the little signs you send them keeps them strong. we look at all the photo's and it just doesn't seem right that you have left us two years ago, there were so much more we needed to do. But on your Anniversary of 2 years its not getting any easier, and finding things to keep me moving forward is just as hard as they wete two years ago. I know you say your strong and be there for the girls but sometimes its not that easy. I miss you and look for you in every step I take, with every breath I breath Wishing you were here tonight. I love you and will always have you in my heart. I LOVE YOU

With the construction going on, sports, and Nate's 1st communion it's been one hell of a week. These are the days that I miss because you would have been in the car pulling in the driveway around 830-900 waiting for the guys to show up with the concrete.
Today, the guy standing with his back to me with the saggy jeans and old t-shirt, grey hair reminded me of you. That was 10 am this morning. It's 12 hours later, and still on my mind. Chest feels heavy, hard to hold back the tears all week.
Missing ya

Wonderful conversation with Cole the other night as he asked what you looked like when you went to Heaven. I found myself trying to hold the tears back while thinking of the perfect way to explain this to a 5 year old.

I find it odd that we all have these moments right around the same time or within days of each other... and I just realize that there is no coincidence in our experiences, it's just you visiting.

Wow terrible dream the other night. Woke up crying. Looked out my bedroom door to see one of your pics and below it the word life. I was really upset by this dream. It was the last time I saw you...in the hospital. This dream was like an ER show, paddles were on your chest and a crew working to resuscitate. I woke up at 4:20 am...I am thinking that may have been the actual time you were letting go and we were trying to hold on...anyway I got up Googling resuscitate and defribulators...I just think it wasn't suppose to happen the way it did. Then I got a message from you..didn't know you had a facebook acct. Dad..lol, but the message sent was to let go and not hold on to things that cannot be changed. So that is what I did well for that day anyway. Missing you like crazy! Love and miss you always

Another Christmas gone. Another day managed. Some better than others, and some more difficult. Today just one of those days that I found myself talking about you to a woman I've never met. 6 hours later you are still on my mind.

So missing you!

Merry Christmas, All I can think about is you in the kitchen with Mommy. Getting in each others way. Really gonna miss your presents this year. We all looked forward to your crazy gift giving ways. I remember them all. Always the same....for each of us. (The best was the year you gave us each the same amount of money but all in different denominations). I miss your smile. There is not a day that has gone by that I don't think of you. Hoping you will come home for Christmas........xoxox

1 week to go before the cruise that you were supposed to have done with all of us at least 1 more time. The words echo in my head, "Don't think I'm going to make that one."
On a positive note, Mom gave me 4 drink coupons for the flight, and while going through some other things of yours, I found 4 more. Thanks for the drinks Dad, in case I forget to say it later. Obviously, someone thinks I'm going to need them! I love ya and miss you every day!

I'm not sure why, but this has been a difficult week. Pictures make cry, songs make me cry, Jimmy saying he goes to the top of the hill to talk to you makes me cry. Watching Jen in a father daughter dance, just made me miss you more. Somehow, and no disrespect for those that enjoyed being at the wedding, just made me irritable, and without realizing it, was only because you weren't here.

Ann

October 2, 2012

Dad,
I miss you everyday! Not a day has gone by that you are not in my thoughts....Mom and I went to Jen Edwards wedding, and a slow song came on during dinner, her eyes filled with tears...she misses you. I wish you were here to hold her again.
Dad, I love you and miss you so much...

Ah, Funny, me neither!
Why don't you try watching TV. I'm hoping it will put me to sleep.
No, I don't want it on.
So What are they saying?
They said my electrolytes are low.
Sodium is low and potassium is low. They took 3 bags of fluid out.
Well, at least your there. You ok.
Tears flowing... I love you guys. Call everyone and tell them I love them.

My heart has "seen" your tears as you shared your heart-aches for the past year. Because my heart has been overwhelmed with grief through the passing of my son, my mom, my dad and many family members, just soothe yourself & know everyone "grieves" differentl & you are not "mandated, to set a "calendar" on your grieving-time-frame. Please remember Our Creator & know, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal". (I was employed @NYS w/Henry's brother Fred). Take Care.

I know today will be difficult and my heart and prayers go out to all of you. Keeping you in my prayers on this anniversary.

September 3, 2012

If I could:
I'd tell you I love you more. Those were your words to me on that Sunday. I'll never forget them.

If I could:
I'd tell you that I'd come and sit with you till morning, instead of "I'll be down after I put the kids on the bus." That's what I think I should have done.

If I could:
I would have broken my promise, but you taught me to honor my promise, and keep my word. In the end I failed anyway. But I made that promise, and I also failed.

If I could:
I would have not let you talk me out of bringing you to the hospital the week before.

If I could:
I would have hugged you more, kissed you each day that you came to the house, and each time you left.

If I could:
I would have magical powers that would have healed your heart

If I could:
I'd keep you with us till you were old enough that grief would be expected, but easier to deal with.

If I could:
I just would!

Dad,
My life began with you. I was born the moment you kissed me. From my first breath to your last, you were always there for me.
You walked along side me when I took my first steps. Hand extended enough to encourage me to go further but there to catch me if I was to fall.
You walked along side me when those training wheels came off. Running behind me ready to let go when I had my balance. This time you let me fall but encouraged me to get up and try again.
You walked along side me dragging me through the halls, forcing me to face my wrong doings. This time teaching me right from wrong.
You walked along side of me after each game hand on my shoulder pointing out my strengths and weakness. This time pushing me to work harder towards my goals and telling me to never quit.
You walked along side me down the aisle not ready to let go, but willing and strong enough to share me. This time asking me if I this is really who I wanted to share my life with until the end. (I think you had your running shoes this day).
You walked along side me at the hospital when I gave birth. You had your hand on my head through the contractions and helped me laugh through the pain. This time teaching me there would pain and a little suffering along with the joy a child would bring.
You walked with me every step of the way.
You have raised me. You have guided me.
You have taught me. You have encouraged me. You have scolded me. You have disciplined me. You have humbled me. You have supported me. You have inspired me with every step you have taken.
Your shoes were worn and tat-erred. This just showed me how much you did for me, for all of us. You wore every pair out, not wanting anew. If there is one thing I miss it's your shuffle. I miss the sound of your feet shuffling across the floor. Over the years, it grew slower but still there right beside me.
Dad, just you being there meant the world to me. You were everything a Dad should be and more.
I would walk a million miles to have you by my side.
You have left your footprints and your shoes will never be filled by another.

You are forever in my heart
~ Carol .

Tough weekend coming up Dad. Labor Day marks the end of summer, the beginning of new school years for our children, but it also marks the day you were taken suddenly from your girls. This weekend will never ever be the same. Good bye to summer for most, but it marks well it marks you going. We thought you would be there for pizza last Labor Day....I thought I was going to sit in the WHS auditorium on Tuesday and begin another school year, but that wasn't what happened....I love you Dad and miss you terribly. I am so sorry I couldn't find my way that day...still bothers me...I would have been there with you. I remember thinking just pull in the u-turn and head back up alternate rt. 7....thought I would get pulled over or something. It had to have been the way you wanted to go. Dad, I miss you. You are always on my mind. ALWAYS.

Well that 1 year mark is fast approaching. Doesn't feel like it's been that long. In fact, its so fresh in my mind that it feels like yesterday.

I know you knew we loved you and as your letter said wonder why we never said it more. That was just the way we worked. I'm at peace knowing that I spoke to you twice that night. The words will forever echo in my head.

August 18, 2012

We spent the day at the track last Sunday. We were the first to arrive. Joe was parking the car and the kids went in to our usual spot at the top of the stretch. I never imagined how hard it would be on the kids. As we got to out table Ryan lost it. He was a mess, crying and just staring out at the track. He really misses you. We all had our moments. Dad, you are really missed by all of your grandchildren. We shared a few memories of you and the things you you did. Just remembering the good times. There is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of or mentioned. Its still very hard to talk with out crying or stirring up all the emotions. I can not believe it had almost been a year. I miss your face. I miss listening to your feet shuffle. I miss your voice. I miss "YOU" ~ #2

May 16, 2012

Good Morning, as I wake everyday thinking you are going to be right there with me, and in a sense you are. I reach over and touch your pillow, and I can hear you saying you gonna sleep all morning. I wake to come into the kitchen and expect you already have the coffee turned on for me, and then reality sets in your not here. I try to start off my day on a positive note, and make the best of what is to be, but sometimes that isn't always the case. I miss you so much. I look out and see that the grass is growing so high and think if I just listened to myself at the end of last year and had that tractor sent out for service I wouldn't be waiting here this morning for it to come back, and the grass would be done. Oh well it will sooner than later, the kids are going to come up and take care of it. So I'm not really overly concerned about it.
I have been going to Ann's at night to stay with the kids, and its peaceful, I get the best nights sleep there, and I enjoy helping them out as much as I can.
MaryAlice. gave me a beautiful yellow rose bush to plant out front in your memory, and I will make sure it stays healthy so that it will be there for years to come. They also gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and we cooked out in the yard, and it was relaxing. Holidays, just seem the same anymore. The excitement is not there, the sadness is so present, that its hard to overcome. So we muddle thru as best we can.
The kids are getting excited about there cruise and I am not going to go it just wouldn't seem the same, and I really am nervous about anymore cruises since I broke my hip so I am going to go to San Diego with Maria, and finally visit the zoo and sea world, and hope to god this is a great trip for the both of us.
Not much going on today other than a very strong rain storm, and I am hoping it doesn't start until I reach Ann's house.
Love you forever and always in my heart
Miss you

April 10, 2012

Okay so thank you for your signs...eagle's wing playing in the store, the family photo frame aisle, the antique firetruck and "Henry" who came running around the corner. I have had a crazy couple of days thinking of you and then had a dream last night..this was weird we were at church, but it was Uncle Fred's church and that Pastor Duke was there. You needed insulin shots so I showed you down the hallway to the bathrooms. Here's the funny part...you lifted your shirt to show me that you had your kit, but your pants were fastened by insulin needles...and you laughed. The kind of funny laugh we all had that one time when you forgot your belt camping and you were all cinched at the waist with rope. You are such a funny guy and I miss your crazy ways!!! Miss you Dad. Easter wasn't the same...nobody to convince and hover over the keilbasa. "C'mon try it..you'll like it." And like Annie I thought of the celery sticks in the cold glass of water. You were much too young to leave us. I know people come here to check on all of us to see how we are coping and well this is how us Lindheimers do it...just pour it all out for the world to see we wear our emotions on our sleeves. Big hearts we have and you fill these hearts with your love and memory and well it gets us through the days..I know your standing with angels. Love ya~Mar

April 9, 2012

Missed you yesterday more than you will ever know. Ann and I took a ride to visit with you and everyone was in the cemetary putting flowers on their sites. Yours looks great and hopefully I will get there this week to do your moms and Nelson's. I didn't do them thinking maybe your brother wanted to do his mom's but that wasn't the case so I will go back this week.
Missed you so much. You would have been proud of MaryAlice, she did an awsome job for both our family and Chris's family, all the kids had a great time, Chris kept them busy in the yard with his brother, and when all was done, we celebrated Hannah's birthday.
I was glad to see the day come to an end, and get back home. I guess I just like being here, and talking to you when no one is around.
I'm not sure who is working today, but the kids have the week off from school, so I'm sure I will be visited by them running in and out.
The painters should be here in a little bit to get downstairs done, then its on to the bath. Sure hope this is done in another week or two.
Miss you
Always in my heart, I miss and love you so much.
Denise

April 8, 2012

Miss you. Making potatoes for mar's house. Just out of habit, I saved a bowl of potatoes for you. Just cuz you don't eat mashed with your ham dinner. Than it hit me like a ton of bricks. Wish you were here.......Love you!!!

April 7, 2012

Hi
Went to the cemetary today and placed flowers on your resting place. I sat and talked to you for awhile, but its just weird because I can't hear you, and I know your listening to me. I miss you so much, and wish I could turn back the clocks, and things would be different.
Tomorrow is Easter, and we are going to MaryAlice's for dinner with Chris's family, and hopefully they can all keep it together. Some days, I think they are doing fine, then I open this up and I can see they are only doing a great job of hiding there feelings. I guess its going to take time. But I dont think we will ever erase the pain we feel each day.
Give your Mom a big hug for her Birthday and tell her we are always missing her too and Your dad and my family. I know your busy with all you have to do and God is keeping us all safe, healthy and in his heart. I guess its true he takes the very best first to bring them home. Some day I will join you and my life will be happy again. I miss you so much. Wish you were here. You are forever in my heart
I love you don't ever forget
Love
Denise

April 6, 2012

Everytime I go into Deacon Blues...I get emotional...I don't know what it is with that place? I walk in and look to the left....and I am sad. Where you liked to sit at the bar and be surrounded by your friends.
Last night I was talking to the bartender and he shared a few stories of you. He said "your father use to sit right over there." As he pointed to an empty barstool in front of the window, he loved wrestling when it was "good"."....the wwf back in the old days....I can remember that too...how idiotic it was...you would make fun of Capt. Lou Albano, Rowdy Rowdy Piper and The Hulk...and at home you would say Watch!Watch! you wanted us to believe it was real. You got such a kick out of it.
So... I paid for our take out and left with thinking of you.
You were one of a kind and still missed by friends.
I miss you Dad, every day.
Love you always,
Ann Marie

April 3, 2012

Dad,
Today, I found myself thinking of you and really missing you. I spent most of the morning reading your letter to the four of us. I am glad you wrote to us. As I read it, it felt as if you were right here saying the words. I wish I could here your voice. I wish I had a video of you, I think Annie does. I have photos but no videos. God, I miss you. As you said in your letter... you do not realize how much we take for granted until it's gone. You don't realize how much you will miss someone until you can not see them. I miss you and love you sooooo much. ~ #2 Happy Easter.

Haven't been on here in awhile, because when I do I find myself just wanting to stay and keep talking, so I more or less talk to you during the day as I push myself thru each day. It doesn't get easier infact it gets harder, because our life together ended way to soon.
I have been trying to stay ahead of things around the house and make sure things are being done, but found myself getting a new washer/dryer only to find out it was going to give me a big headache. Well to make a long story short and I'm sure you know I am in the mist of having a bathroom put in and the basement for the kids redone. Flood's are not anything I want to be involved in ever again. Its just one big mess and causes alot of damage, but thank god they are covering all the work that has to be done.
Went to Utica today to buy your favorite ham and kielbasa and I just wish you were going to be here to share it with us. Mar offered to do the dinner, I think they just want to get thru the day without alot of drama going on and feeling down You understand, and I think its time they started to share some of the work. I'm getting to old and tired to keep up this pace. I just want things to go smooth and hope for the best.
We can't do anything at your final resting place til the 1st of the month, so I am just waiting out the time. Got really bitter cold after very hot week and I just hope this weather gets things right for Easter, so that the kids can get out and play.
Kids are missing you, and the grandkids still ask questions but they will never forget.
You are there hero and you will be in their hearts forver.
I can't tell you how much I miss you, because I think you already know.
I love you forever and always
love

You know what I'm afraid of... it isn't death cuz I have you and grandpa waiting, it's all the little things that fade as time passes. I found myself cleaning out my closet and there was 2 pairs of your jeans that you were waiting for me to have hemmed, your sweater that I took from the house, and all your suits that mom gave to jeff. I found myself trying to see if I could still smell you. And when I realized I wasn't going to that scared me... and my hero just wasn't here!

"Hey cuz where have ya been?" This is what I heard Chris saying as he was on the phone the other day. I lost it. I knew it wasn't you on the other end, but a part of me believed it was. God, I miss you!

Awh dad... I really wish you were here... Been thinking of you since I woke up...crying as I speak, have your voice in my head, and I keep picturing what life was like with you in it... I miss you

March 18, 2012

Today, yes a day, I would expect you to be outside. It is absolutely beautiful out. I pulled into the driveway and between the cars I saw someone pass by. For a quick second I thought it was you....I lost it. Now I don't want to go out. I can't stop thinking about you.i miss you. This is not easy. I never understood loss until now. Empty just empty. How can anyone ever fill this void? I miss u.

hey papa,

haven't wrote to you in a while. i was kicking the soccer ball downstairs and was listening to music and the computer beeped i looked at the message and it said "henry book now". thinking of you i went to legacy.com and decided to write a letter to you i don't know what to talk about. I am doing good in school and doing good in soccer the other day i scored a goal from half you probably already knew that though. you probably made it happen. i really miss you. the boys are the same a usual. i really miss coming home and not seeing your car in the driveway and when i come in and your in my moms office. i still remember ryan, kennedy, and i at your house in the summer. you would bring us to hannaford and let us all get 2 kinds of candy each. once we got home the 3 of us would run to the basement with our candy and pretend it was medicine. not knowing that you accualty needed medicine. all i can say is that i miss you and want to see your face one last time. my parents are in a thing at glens falls for a free cruise with aunt carol. so kennedy and ryan are over and all i want to do is cry thinking about you. i finally got my phone and i now i actually am crying i just can't stop. why did you have to leave like that. like all of us i really miss you bye. i will talk to you later

March 15, 2012

You are all present...every thought every day. Wish you were here. Missing seeing you sitting outside at the end of the driveway, watching the neighborhood. Even the neighbors new your presences. I love you, more today than ever. #2

On the way to Aiden's game and passed Jack's.
On Saturday I was home with just Hannah. I caught myself....I was going to tell her, " don't answer the door unless you know it's papa."
On the way to school Hannah out of nowhere said she likes sitting with you at school.
Miss you, miss you miss you.

Dad,
Happy Valentines Day!!
I love you~

February 12, 2012

I went out last week to buy a few things in Walmarts. Decided I would pick up a package of Valentines for each of the boys and thinking ok, have to get the kids a valentine from mom... I bought a package of 6... all the same. I've decided that you made that so memorable for all of us, and had no idea that you even did that. What seemed a joke was just something that we already miss. So I've adopted this legacy to pass onto my children. This year... they will all get the same card! I miss you and heart still aches for you.

Miss u all the time. I thought I thought about you everyday when u were alive, but I think of you more now. Probably because I took advantage of you always being here. Anyway I miss you.

missing you, but I think you know that already!
This weekend won't be the same without you!! No card games at the 1/2, no calls to see how you did. This year, we have your numbers.... we'd love if you could pull a few strings! Either way, I'd just prefer you were here.
Love you!

Soon we will be sending you your brother in law, and we are all praying that he has a safe journey into heaven. With open arms from his mom and day and brothers and brother in laws, please watch out for him. Welcome him home and to a much painfree passage. I love you and miss you and these are times that I wish for you to be here by my side, but I know that isn't possible. Think of you every day
Having the front two rooms painted and i know your probably saying its about time, but its just getting someone to do it and making sure its done right. I don't like asking the kids because they are so busy with their own families and running with games and what ever. So I decided to just hire someone its way to big of a job for me to handle. I think will like it. Maria says it reminds her of when you went to Chickies and I would change the rooms around before you got back home, and would crash into the tables and not know where things were. But then again those were the good days ok just wanted to you to keep your eyes open for Johnny's arrival. I do pray his leaving is without pain. I love you
Always in my heart today tomorrow and always.
Love
Denise

Hi Dad
Thinking of you.....missing your smile, your voice, and talking to you,
God I wish you were here....

January 24, 2012

Washing dishes and thought of us camping and washing dishes with dirt before using the soap. I was crying and laughing. I miss you dad. Saw a guy at the credit union that looked like you..kind of lost it..I was cashing in the change..remembering all the Saturdays rolling change at the kitchen table with you. It was at that same table that you tried to teach me how to make change. I think it was third or fourth grade. You were my favorite teacher. I love you!

January 24, 2012

Hey dad
You probably already know giants are in the superbowl against the patriots it's a rematch of four years ago.... You were in Vegas. I am hoping for the giants! Thanks Dad for listening on Sunday, and as always we love you and miss you! Go Giants!

Love you,
Your "biggest" Baby

Just a little encouragement and love~~

xxoo




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.

Dad,
I had my walk today. i think it went really well. 5:39 which was longer than the previous walk of 5:24. Take into account the winter walking conditions and it was approximately the same. I am still amazed that this is still going on, however Today i had you on my side and things seem to be going my way. Thanks for listening. i really do not know how mommy keeps it together there are so many things in and out of the house that remind me of you. You would have been proud of Ian yesterday. Well all your grandchildren, they all are strong, confident, determined, goal oriented, quiet, funny, reserved, focused, laid back, and compassionate. A little bit of you in everyone of them. I love you. #2

Made chicken noodle soup. Miss you so much. I pray for you all the time. You and mommy. Keep her strong dad..she misses you terribly and I don't know how she does it. We all love you so much.

As each day passes, the love for you grows even stronger. I stop at the cemetary everytime I am in Wvliet, just to sit with you for awhile. I know you are with me no matter where I am I feel you in my heart. But when I am there is the strongest of peace that comes over me, that I know you are happy. You are with us in our thoughts everyday, The girls cling to this memory book, as a passage to speak to you, and that is a good thing. But soon they will have to move on and etch there thoughts in their minds, that you are forever in their hearts. You were a guiding force in thier lives, and that they are greatful for. We can say we gave them what we could and the outcome, in thier favor. They are all strong loving woman, and have beautiful children that they will pass along, what we have given to them. They may not realize it right yet, but they made us proud and knowing that we accomplished our goal that God has set forth before us, is a true Blessing. I'm not saying it was easy we had many tough roads to travel, but we climb that mountain, with force, and no one was going to tell us otherwise that we would not accomplish God's plan for us. You can rest knowing you have done a great job. Be proud, and never forget that we love you with all our hearts. You are in our thoughts,prayers, and daily lives now and forever. Love ya

Thinking about you every day... Sharing stories about you to friends makes me feel overly proud of you while others may feel slightly discomfortable because you don't exist or maybe that spooks people but I love you and everything you and mommy have done for us. I am glad you stuck by us and were always there to help and guide us thru some of life's bumps that the road we choose to take you and mommy will be forever sketched within us and within our youngest ones even though the little ones are just four and really only know a glimpse of who you are it is the children that hold on to the sweetest of thoughts for us and what makes us move forward But even if I want to freeze the world I would want you here with mom we are really missing you and I am so proud of what you and mom have done she is so strong that I hope that as I grow older I can acquire the strength that lives inside her . Miss you and love you

I would do anything to have you here. There isn't much that I do during the day that doesn't remind me of you. Some days are really hard. I can't look at pictures for too long because the tears flow, the throat gets tight, and the pain I feel in my chest hurts. If we could go through life without feeling this kind of pain, life would be great. Right now, it is just so - so.

I have to say Dad, I realized the impact of Mom's job when I had Ella, and the boys. I think I understood at that point what she had to give up, and sometimes endure when she decided to get married and be a Mom. Obviously, we could relate to her. I'm sorry that I didn't get the chance to relate to what you had to endure, and I wish I had the chance to tell you that while you were here the impact you had on my life from just being my DAD.

I wonder if you ever realized the impact you had on our lives, and I know the Lord has probably showed the impact of your life on all of us already; I only wish I could have told you all that before you left us. YOU WERE JUST BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF.... and I love you.

Till we meet again.....
