IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare an extra minute

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,

so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow

to make up for an oversight,

and we always get a second chance

to make everything just right.

There will always be another day

to say "I love you,"

And certainly there's another chance

to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.

I Love You Dad!!!

This morning (7/5/05) Jorden called me at work, because he is with Bill until 7/6/05. I asked him how his Fourth of July was and all he could say in a calm and quiet voice was, “Mom today is Papa’s Birthday!” I agreed with him and asked if he would be ok. After a couple sniffles and tears from him I said that you would want him to have a great day today, for you. That boy will never let you go. He misses you so very much every single day. So we have renamed the day. It is Jorden’s best day! I don’t know what we will do, or if we do anything on this day, but knowing that your day could be his day too was enough for him. We all continue to ache and miss you terribly, but I know you are in a better place. Give grandma lots of hugs and kisses for us and hold us a spot. We will be there when our time has come. I love you so much and again thank you for picking mom..

Happy Birthday ~ Old Man!!!!

Across whatever distance there is. I send you all my love…

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now
I'm free.
I'm following the path God
laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard
him call.
I turned my back and left it
all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or
to play.
Tasks left undone must stay
that way.
I found that peace at close of
day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh,
a kiss.
Ah yes, these things I too will
miss.
Be not burdened with times of
sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of
tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've
savored much.
Good friends, good times, a
loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all
too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with
undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share
with me.
God wanted me now: He set
me free.

Jeff, I know you and your mom are together now and I am happy that the pain she suffered is now over, I miss you more each day and love you even more. this poem has allot of meaning to it and I hope all that read it agree. honey I miss you and ache so for you still today all my love Forever Lyn

Linda, It was so wonderful to see you last night at Applebees. I feel very saddened that I did not know about Jeff's death. If I would have read about it I would have been there for you. You and Jeff will always hold a very special place in our heart. I remember when we first moved on Keller and I was a big city girl and Clark was a yokel local, you really showed me what down-to-earth people were all about. I remember when ever Kim, Tracy, or Kristy had a date Jeff would bring down his guns to clean and say "So, what time are you going to be home". The boys were petrified but to this day Clark remembers that because Sarah is now 12 years old. You and Jeff made a great impact in our lives even though we have lost touch over the years. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Thanks for the memories. Love, Robin and Clark Lindenmeier

Linda and girls,

I was shocked and saddened to hear about your loss. Jeff was a one-of-a-kind husband, father and most of all, friend. I enjoyed all the time we spent together those years in Washington and will never forget the great camping trip we took in the mountains "elk hunting". As time passes your wounded hearts will heal, even though I'm sure it doesn't seem possible now. Just know that you were blessed with one of the all time greatest people in the world as a husband and father and feel free to contact me if you need a shoulder to lean on....

Dad,

It has been one hell of a year. Thank you for taking me on the quad run. You are the most amazing man I will ever meet and I thank you for being my father. I miss you dearly every second of everyday. Thank you for helping me find peace in your backyard. Run free!! Save a spot for me up there, we will play catch. I love you so much, but I miss you even more. Mom is amazing. Thanks for choosing her.

Across whatever distance there is, I send you ALL my love.

Dad,Mom, and Sisters,

Bob Hope's song "Thanks For The Menories" really holds its merits here: U-turns on Kansas turnpikes, eating corn on the cob with no front teeth, walking down the aisle as a prespective bride, or just a peacefull dinner. Thank-you all for letting me be part of your family. God bless you Bruce (AKA PUP)

Aunt Linda, Tracy, Kimmy, and Kristy,

I am in tears reading all the wonderful letters people have taken the time to write about your father. I have only a few memories of your dad, but I have always thought and been told that he was the most wonderful husband and father. I don't think there is a greater accomplishment in life.

I know that you are still trying to move on with your lives and you have a lot of great memories to cherish. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I love all of you, Corinne

My dearest daughter, Linda and granddaughters, Tracy, Kim and Kristy, I know the pain you still feel is so great and will be for some time. You do have such great memories of Jeff and you should dwell on those, too. Although we did not always see eye to eye, I will always love and respect him for the way he raised you girls and the way he always protected and cared for his family. Always depend on God to guide you for He can take a great burden off your shoulders. We love you all very much. Mom and Dad

Dad,

Thank you for being a father figure, coach, and a friend. You and mom were there in many of my lifes highs and lows and I will never forget that. I feel badly that you didn't see Lexi as much as you should have, to no fault but my own. I would think, next time we are in town, but then all of a sudden there was no next time. You taught me a HUGE lesson yet once again. As I search for another ranger to sign my targets I think of the time we went shooting with Kris. I wish I could have done more of that with you. But as I continue on I know that you will be there with me, teaching me and teasing me. I miss you dearly.

Thanks for the memories!

I love you!

Linda, Tracy, Kristy, and Kimberly

I came to know Jeff well working with him these last couple of years. It was always fun working with Jeff, especially on those days when the work started early and we would bet on who would be here first. Jeff usually made it in first and was already out there checking things out when I would arrive. Making sure everything was going right.

His sense of humor always made things go a little easier.

Whenever we would walk around the job he was always being stopped by people saying hi.

We will all miss him.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Husband and Father.
I have worked with Jeff for the past year and previously for several years. I have come to know him for his honesty, his furver for doing the right thing,Jeff was who I'd go to when I was not quite sure about a particular subject, we would reason together until we decide on a path to take.
He was a team mate who knew the meaning of teamwork, you could always depend on Jeff, his word was his bond.
He was my friend, he will always be missed by me and our team.
We are here to lend you support in any way we can.
May the Lord be a part of all you do, and may His name be praised.

I, too, shall miss your father with all of his worldly advice he has bestowed upon me over the past 18 years. My best to all of you in this time of sorrow. I am so sorry.
