Hey Pop, Was just sitting here thinking about you, and well with warm weather near and cookouts starting I sure would love some of your potato salad with my Cheeseburger, Wal-mart has nothing on yours. (LOL 🙂 ) I sure wish you were still here with us, Its just not the same to come home and not see you standing in the kitchen cooking up a storm. I miss and love you!
One year ago today we lost you. You came to say goodbye to me the night you died, and I wrote what happened. This is dedicated to you,Dad. I wish I could have been there so I could say goodbye, but your spirit came to me that night and told me not to cry. You said God was standing with you and his Angels were all around. You felt no more pain or suffering– it was a better place you found. I looked over at your picture on the stand beside my bed, and said, ” Dad if your ready, then you can go ahead.” Although I couldn’t see you, I knew that you were there. I felt your hand hold my hand as I reached into the air. And then thats when the phone rang and they told me you had died. You knew I couldn’t get there, so you came to say goodbye. I love you Dad, and I’ll never forget that night. LOVE, ELAINE
It’ been one year Dad and I miss you just as much today as I did a year ago. I know you’re always watching over me because I can feel your presence when times are trying. I love you and miss you so much! Love, Jen

Hi Dad, Went on a Sunday drive thru the mountains yesterday. You always took us for rides in the country. You would have loved this. Love you and Miss you.
Found this poem I wrote for you and Mom in the cedar chest dated May 6th, 1978. Its called Two Special People There are two people in my life that words cannot describe. These people are so marvelous and this I say with pride. These special people are the one’s who guided me through my life. And gave me all the love I need much more than can suffice. Besides the love these people gave comes kindness,understanding, and trust. And these qualities of which I speak are definately a must. Now I must thank Dear God above for sending me no other. But for blessing me with these two lives, MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER
Hi Dad. Jamie is working on a memory book for me. It has lots of pictures in it of you. It still doesn’t feel like your gone, even after all this time. I love you and miss you very much. Love, Bugs
Hi Dad, Still thinking of you every day. Love and Miss you so much

Hi Dad. Just thinking of you today and I wanted to tell you that I went back to church. I have a poem for you from a song….(If the story’s told,only heaven knows..But his hat seemed to me like an old halo..And although his wings, they were never seen.. I thought that he walked on water..) I think of you when I hear that song.. Miss you, love Tim…..
HI PAP,I go to church with Dad and Granny too. I got my diploma from the academy and now I’m trying to get my drivers permit. I will be 18 soon..
Hi Dad, its nice to see its getting easier for Tim to write you. I hope he’ll do it more. I loved the words he wrote to you and I know its from his heart because your there helping him. I Love you and Miss you. You definately walk on water in my heart too.
Sitting here thinking of you as I always do. Winter is almost over and I will finally be able to come home soon. I love you Dad, I still can’t believe you won’t be in your chair when I get there. Its going to be hard that first time I come up to your grave. You will be my first stop. Love you and Miss you still very much.
Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. Love you Dad! Tres.
Happy Easter Dad, your my Easter Bunny in Heaven. Love, Your Bunny on earth. Miss you
Hi Dad, Tonight is Stormee’s Senior Prom..I wish you could see her..Watch over her while she’s out tonight..Love you and miss you.
This is for you Dad. If yellow roses grow in heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me~Place them in my Daddy’s arms and tell him they’re from me~Tell him that I Love him and miss him, & when he turns to smile~Place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for a while~Because remembering him is easy~I do it every day~There’s an ache in my heart …that….will never go …away…I Love you Dad.
Hi Dad, sitting here counting the days till we come home next month.Planning on coming up to see you alot while i’m there. Going to Grandma and Grandpa’s grave and clean it up for you. I know you would like that. I Love you and Miss you.
Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. I love you and miss you still so very much. Memories in my mind are what I keep in my heart everyday.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love you and miss you. Still think of you every day.
Its another New Year. You would love all the snow, even if it meant putting chains on the tires of your bus. I remember all the times you lay on the ground underneath that thing when I was young. Always a smile on your face. What i’d give to see it again. Love you and miss you.
Hi Dad, its Mom’s birthday today. I know you’ll be looking down from Heaven today and watching over her. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU…

Hi Dad, My high school friend for so many years past away. I’m sure she is with you. Take care of her. I love you and miss you.
Hi Dad, another month has past by. Almost 4 years since you left us. It still doesn’t feel real. Your always in my heart and memories. I love you and miss you so much.
Hi Dad, was just sitting here thinking of you as I often do. Its funny how things never change with the family. I thought after everything you went thru and them all seeing it, things would change. Guess not. I stay to myself as always. Wish you were here to talk to. I love you and Miss you.
Another month has past. You will be gone from us four years soon. So hard to believe its been that long. Every day that passes I wish I would have come home to see you more. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you past, but was glad you came to me to say goodbye. I love you and miss you.
Happy Fathers Day Dad, wish you were here so we could have a big cookout with your great potatoe salad. I love you and miss you.
I saw a face inside a cloud, It smiled as it drifted by; looking down at me, eyes vivid blue with a twinkle in each eye. It followed me for quite awhile so I stood in just one place. This smile I knew, and it was then, that I recognized the face. As tears weld up I couldn’t speak, it took everything I had, for this face I knew, inside this cloud was the face of my sweet Dad. His gaze was warm and sunny and he watched me for awhile, then suddenly he floated off and gave me one last smile. I know he watches over me, I think of him every day, Its been 4 years, infact today, that Dad had past away. So don’t worry when they leave you, they never go too far. Their love is always with you, right from the very start. FOR MY DAD, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH.
Thinking of you as I always do every day. Love you and Miss you, Dad.
Hi Dad, Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. Found some old childhood friends from when we lived on Ridge Avenue. We all shared such sweet memories of being kids there. So hard to believe its been so many years when it feels like yesterday when we talk about it. Wish you were here. I miss you and love you.
Happy Birthday Dad. I love you with all my heart and miss you so much.
Happy Thanksgiving Dad. I love you and miss you. Wish you were here.
Merry Christmas 2011, Dad. I love you and miss you.
Was sitting here thinking of you as I often do. It feels like you’ll still be sitting in your chair when I come home. Wish I could talk to you again. I love you and miss you.
Dad, Please watch over Jamie and be her guide at this point in her life. I know you will be close to us spiritually. I love you and still miss you so bad.
Hello Dad, Was sitting here looking at some pictures of you Jim had posted on the net. Funny how they look exactly as I remember you in my mind. Not like I last saw you. These memories are what I cherish in my heart. You will always be young and healthy as in the pictures and thats how I will always remember you. I love you and miss you.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO HEAVENS #1 FATHER ….NEXT TO GOD OF COURSE …I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.
6 years ago you left us. I miss you every day. Your pictures all around me feels like you never went away. I see you in my memories we’re never far apart ..my love I’ll always carry with me in my heart. I love you dad.
Hi Dad, was just sitting here thinking about you like I always do. Somebody came in to where I work at the other day and asked how you were doing. I teared up a lil ( just a lil, didn’t want you to think I was a sissy) telling him that you had passed in 2007. It made me think of how you use to call me when I lived at home and always came home late from a good buzz and you would tell me to get my ass to work and get chained up because it was snowing. Every damn time I would get up there, my bus was always chained up and running getting nice and warm inside. You were the man. Also, Linda and I have always tried to keep up with your grave. I hope you like it. Luv ya…
Happy new year dad. Love you and miss you.
Good memory les.. made me cry
Hi dad, thinking of you. Like I do everyday. I love you and miss you.
Hi Dad….watched a video of you the other day. Still feels like your home. Guess that was the onlygood part about living so far away… I always knew you were there until I got there and saw that empty recliner. Mom always makes sure all your memories are still in the house and Tim makes good use of your chair. He even sits like you… lol. I love you and miss you Dad.
For two years I’ve not been able to get on your guestbook. Been thinking of you alot in silence. Something told me to try this and here it was. Must have been a sign from you. Everyone probably thinks I’m crazy because I still talk to you like your still here….that’s because I know you still are forever in my heart. Thank-you for helping me find this again. I know it was you that led me to it today. I love you and missyou dDad.
