Last week was the Steam Show-although you weren't with us-I took a picture of you and Uncle Donnie and hung them on the wall of my pop stand-you both were in our thoughts. It was a good show but not the same as when you were there. I miss you so much. I can only imagine the laughter that has been going on in Heaven since you have been gone. What a wonderful reunion we will have when we all can be together again!
Until then, watch over the family and know that you are missed and loved always!
So much love, Mona Sue

Six months ago, you left this world and our hearts are still breaking! Some days it feels like just yesterday, we were listening to your stories, jokes and laughter--other days, it feels like forever since you have been here. We miss you every day and we will love you always. I know that you are keeping the Angels laughing and enjoying some good ole country music in Heaven!! Someday our family will be whole again--until then, I will remember you with laughter and music!! Fly with the Angels Dear Uncle!!
All my love, Mona Sue

A little over a month ago, you went away--the music still doesn't sound the same. We miss you so much and the family is not complete without you here. I was blessed to have you in my life and so proud to call you my uncle. I promise that you will never be forgotten-you will live on in our hearts and memories and we will, one day, laugh at the stories and we will enjoy the music again!!
Take care of Debbie, Uncle Dick, Gram and Pap for me until we all meet again!!
