Dear Dad, I sat at the dinner table and just like at Thanksgiving, I said to myself, "No, this isn't right, dad isn't here". Though you weren't there physically, I know you were there spiritually. We (your family and friends) miss you each and everyday. You are never, ever far from our minds. Merry Christmas, Dad!!!! We love you so very much! Randy, Amy, and Jennifer

December 24, 2013

Merry Christmas Dad, I love you and miss so very much....
I will never say goodbye to you my Father
because I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You only went to a place where there's no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you are with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how your arms held me and give me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend.
In my triumphs you were always proud.
I'm very grateful and proud to call you my dad.
Here deep inside my heart you'll always be.
I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time.
I remember the last time I held your hand and how you looked at me.
If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go.
I felt the world stop and my heart stop beating when they told me you were gone…….
How I wish I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn't speak for awhile.
Thank you Dad….
For always understanding, listening, caring, and loving me your whole life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It's difficult to let you go but I must…
I must return the gift God gave me…
Till then;
See you in Heaven………
Love your Baby Girl

(You needed the quiet) you needed the quiet so he drew you aside.Into the shadows where you could confide. Away from the bustle where all the day long you hurried and worried when active and strong.You needed the quiet tho at first you rebelled but gently, so gently, your cross he upheld and whispered so sweetly of spiritual things tho weakened in body, your spirit took wings to heights never dreamed of when active and gay. He loved you so greatly he drew you away. You needed the quiet. No prison your bed, but a beautiful valley of blessings instead- a place to grow richer in Jesus to hide. you needed the quiet so he drew you aside.

Dear Dad,
Though I miss you terribly, it gives me so much peace and comfort knowing you are with our Lord. I hope you enjoyed your flight from Kansas City, Missouri to Pittsburgh, PA. I know you were smiling ear to ear as you were flying high above the clouds, something you were never able to do because of your ears. I know you were in awe of how beautiful the sun was shining on the earth below. I know you were beaming down on us all, your family and friends, as we were giving each other love and support while we were saying our goodbyes. I know it made you happy to be laid to rest near grandpa, the only spot left...just for you! All you have to do is look to your right and you'll be able to watch the leaves on the trees change colors during the Seasons. You truly have an amazing view. Whether I fly or drive to PA, I will always stop by to say hello. Whenever you run into family and friends, please be sure to let them know how much they, too, are loved and missed by us all. I miss you so very much, Dad. Even so, I know in my heart that I WILL see you again. With all my love, your daughter, Amy.

Here Is Something One Of My Poems That I Just Got Done In About One Week Ago And I Hope That You Like This One.

Angels Whispers

Angels So Silently Watching Over Me And Breathing So Softly Whispers To Me And Quietly Lifts Me Through The Air And Cleanses My Soul From All My Despair. She Always Give Me Guidance When I'm Sad Or Hurting Inside Once Again I Feel Alive Again With The Lord.

And When I Get There And I'll Be Happy Again And Have No More Hurting Or Being Sad Ever Again. And Let The Angels Watch Over All My Good Friends And Family Too I Will Be Looking Down With My Softly Angels Wings That Are Rapping Around YouIn Comfort And You Will Always Know I'll Be Looking Over You.

And Never Be Sad For Me And I Will Always Be In Your heart With My Softly Angels Wings Around You.

From Someone Always Care About

You In Heart.
