Pappy...how is it 13 years? Fishing season is approaching and Mady´s boyfriend wants her to go with him. Reminds me of our days together. Logan graduates this year! Can you believe it? I still miss you everyday. It has gotten a little easier but not much. Still times I pick up the phone to try and call you and I can´t. I know I can still talk and you will hear me but it´s not the same. Keep sending me the butterflies and watch over my babies as they are approaching difficult times in life. I love you and miss you!!

How is it 10 years already? They say it gets easier but for me it doesn´t. I know you´re looking down and watching the kids but it´s not the same! I miss you every day! Now that man has some challenges it reminds me of what you went through. I hope I make the best decisions for her! I still feel like I made some horrible ones for you and maybe you would still be here today. I love you so much!

Yesterday was hard today is another hard day! I keep looking at the clock and realize its almost a week that you told me you were done fighting. Everyone says that this will get easier and I will have my days but man dies it hurt right now. Looking at mady reminds me of me at her age and then i think about you! Your were my protector all these years and I know you still are but it's so hard. As Kenny said "you are not alone, everyone has gone through this and we will help". Pappy you had very good friends and I hope I make impressions on people's lives like you did. I love you!!

To the family of Dennis, I know that no words can make the loss of his physical companionship any easier but knowing that his suffering has ended is a blessing for Dennis. For those of us who miss him, we must draw on our Faith to know that he is in the Spiritual World where he is not restrained by his physical body; a place where the opportunities for happiness are boundless. God bless you all. Curtis Renner
