We who are blessed with people to love know that we will eventually grieve when they leave us. After that grief, the blessings come when we see the ways they are still with us. I pray for peace and strength for your family in these painful days.
This is what Denise said and it is what I feel too. We are here for you Michael.

In memory of Papa, We will miss you, but look forward to seeing you again in heaven, one day. May our family find peace and comfort from the Lord Jesus.

In Memory of Papa,
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more hug. We may not understand why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. I love you and will never forget you. I'll see you one day later on! Love, Julia

In memory of my Grandpa....I will always hold dear in my heart the precious memories we had together when I was just a little girl, but the most important memory I will cherish as a woman is the beautiful conversations we had discussing our Lord and Savior. Although our hearts are sad because we will miss you dearly, we are rejoicing that you are with our Lord and Savior and we will meet again one day! Love Always...

My Beautiful Daddy,
I have loved you so much my entire life. You always made me feel so very special when you would call me "Daddy's Little Girl". I will always be "Daddy's Little Girl." You were always there when I needed you. You often told me you were proud of me. I have always been so proud you were my Daddy. I promised you I will take care of Mom and I will. I miss you Daddy. Thank You for serving in WW II and fighting for our country. Happy Veteran's Day. "Fly Daddy Fly"
I Love You,
Daddy's Little Girl,
Helen
