Dad, You have only been gone three weeks and it seems like three years. I miss talking with you and seeing you. I know you are in heaven with mother and the rest of your family that went before you. I am sure you were greeted by all those that waited for you to get there! You were a wonderful, supportive, and loving father. It was my privilege to be your daughter for 53 years...."thanks for the memories". Love you now...and until I see you again! Suz

Our prayers are with the Mullman family. It's often said a man can be judged by the legacy he leaves behind. Your Dad left a tremendous legacy in the children he and Bonnie raised. Every encounter I had with him growing up always left me with an awe and respect in how he lived his life; imparting those values, every day, to his kids, I was blesed to know him and your entire family.

Dear Dad,

Life without you will never be the same. I loved the times & talks we had shared together. You were the Best Father a Daughter could ask for. I know you're with Mother now and I know how happy you must be. And for that reason, I am able to smile, without tears every time. I Love You Dad.

I'll miss you so much Papa. The amount of memories I have with you are endless. We had so many good times traveling to East Texas and Oklahoma, eating at Coney Island, banana splits, and you being my biggest supporter of all my accomplishments. If I could count on someone to be proud of me, it would be you. I'll miss calling and talking Texas Rangers baseball with you. Love you!
