Dad, Father's Day was so difficult this year as you know. They say it gets easier with time after losing a loved one but they are so wrong, it gets harder. I miss you so much. I hope you hear me each night when I am talking to you because I still need your guidance.  There are so many times when I want to call you to ask you about various things but I feel in my heart that you are guiding me anyway. Well Dad you always said as we were growing up that you would love to take us to your birthplace in St. John, so that is where Paul & I are going to go for our honeymoon, and I know you will be right there with us. I hope in some way this will make you happy that I am at least going to see where you grew up. Know that you are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart. I love you!

Well Dad if you were still with us we would be having Grandpa's Surprise for supper tonight  you always wanted me to make that for you on your birthday, but I couldn't make it today Dad I'll make it tomorrow I'm sure you found someone in heaven to make it for you. I love you and miss you Dad very much

As i sit here with a puddle of tears remembering all the years i missed im sorry grandpa please keep me safe and guide me in the write direction because i love family and i dont want to loose another member because of past things i love you grandpa and always will miss you wish you were here

Daddy Christmas wasn't the same without you this year.  I thank God for last year being able to take all the pictures and seeing the smile on your face when you opened your gifts.  Just want to let you know that your wishes are coming true.  I was able to have you and Kris put in the right spots as I know you wanted this done.  Dad remember those talks in the hospital where you said you wished everyone would get along well you will be happy to know that most of us are now.  I know that this is your wish so I hope everyone will fulfill it for you.  I know you would be so proud of Ashley for this wonderful tribute she has given you.  Love always your little girl Debbie  Give Jessie Lou and Kris a hug for me.

My dearest dad, as I write this I remember all the good times we shared. I so missed you at Christmas and making you dressing and cranberry sandwiches, how you loved them. I am so very thankful that we had those wonderful heart to heart talks when I visited you each night in the hospital, I remember you saying how you now know who really cared about you from the ones that visited you and that is so true. I would give anything to bring you back to us. Life just isn't fair when you lose the ones that mean the most to you. I guess you knew something bad was going to happen when you came over to the house and hugged me and told me you loved me, that moment I will cherish forever as well as all of our goodnight hugs and kisses that we shared in the hospital. Thank you Dad for all the wonderful things you did for me and for always loving me unconditionally as a parent should. I will always love you and I miss you dearly.
