I miss you so much everyday. I wanna call you and laugh with you and talk to you and even gripe at one another like we did. Life seems so empty without you in it. I pray that you are well and happy now. I love you always.

Daddy, It's your baby Kylee. I know that you understand why I could not be around all those people for your service. I also realize daddy, that you know mommy took me there before anyone else. So I could walk up on my own and do what I needed to do for you and for me. I did it dad. And you were there and saw me. I know that, I felt you. I miss you and love you. Mom says she is very proud of me for doing this and that she knows you would be VERY proud also.

Lynn &Court Dave & Annette and family, I was so very sorry to hear of Chris passing and I know that you are still in shock over your loss. I was also sorry that I did not see the obit in time to attend the service. Please know that I am keeping you in our prayers and because it could happen to us at any time. Wendy and Nancy were shocked and they send their love and prayers as well. I would have sent a card but I hope that this message will be seen by all of you. Linda(Zoeller) McMillin [email protected]
