Dad, Thinking of you and it is so hard to believe it has been seven years. Seems like yesterday but seems like an eternity . You are missed so much, I know someday we will all see you again. Life has had to go on but it has never been the same without you. Love from all of us.......

Well Dad your birthday is almost here and I had a weird thing happen at the store. The lady in front of me had to put back stuff because she didn't have enough money. She looked through her bags and pulled out her Pinwheel cookies. The girl deducted it from her bill. I almost lost it right there. She walked off so sad. Well I had her put cookies on my bill and gave them to the lady and she was so happy. I am taking that as a sign. I told the lady they were your favorites and she just smiled. Love and miss you always!

It is hard to believe you have been gone one year. I know you would urge people to accept Jesus and his ways and spend eternity in heaven someday. That is what gives us all peace, knowing that is where you are. Love, The Dees Gang

My Uncle "Albert" always held a special place in my heart. He was so sweet & was the first man to ever buy me flowers when I was a little girl. I'll never forget how special that made me feel. Although many many hearts are heavy & sad, we thank Jesus for your life & are so happy to know you are in His presence this very moment. Kris

Dad, I know that I was stubborn and hard headed as a child. But I owe the man I am today to you. You taught how to fight for what's important. To be a stand up man. That whatever I do, do it to the best of my ability. Most importantly you taught me about love. You gave my mother a lifetime of dependability.

I know that you were saved and that today you sit in heaven looking down over the legacy you left behind. I promise to try my hardest to make you proud.

With Love and Respect I will remember you always.
