Our lives have changed forever, but knowing that you are now watching over our family gives us all a feeling of peace.

You are gone, but not forgotten, I will see your face in the faces of our kids, and hear your laughter in theirs. Thank you for the memories, I will treasure them always.

Take pride in knowing you gave our kids and grandkids the biggest gift of all, your love, your time and amazing memories.

All our love always XOXO

A limb has fallen from the family tree,
I keep hearing a voice that says "Grieve not for me."
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song,
The good life lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you,
Keep smiling and surely the sun will come through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest,
Remembering all, now I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small,
Go on with your life, don't just stare at the wall.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Until the day comes we're together again.

Your Grandkids

Dear Grandpa,

Those we love
Don't go away
They walk
Beside us
Everyday
Unseen, unheard
But always near
Still loved,
Still missed
And very dear.

We love you Grandpa.

Dad,

I couldn't have asked for a better person to teach me and help me develop my life skills. The two most important things you taught me was how to be a great father and how to love and respect every person. Should any person get out of line, call them your famous line "fat head". You will be forever missed and never forgotten. Thank you with all my heart. I'll miss you Dad.
