From the time that I was born,  I never called anyone else "Papa" besides you. We have videos of us playing inside the house that You and Granny worked so hard for. If there's one thing I learned from you it's wisdom and optimism.  There will never be no one else like you, for as long as I live.  You had your own way of showing affection and love but always made it known that you were there for people. Only thing I can really say is thank you, and you'll always be my Papa. I love you.  

I'll miss you , Johnny, for all your kindness and respect to me over the years. I remember many special occasions when with you and Nancy when our kids and grankids got together , you  always made us welcome there ,goood times !!  Your kindness in helping with our  Mom and Dad in their final years will be remembered always. May you rest in peace and I'll see you later !!!! I'll be close to Nancy, and I'm sure we'll hold you in lots of memories in days to come.


     To my husband, my love, my lifetime companion. My heart is broken. I have tried to put in words the way I feel and then I came across this poem on the internet. It explains exactly how I feel , as if I have written it myself.
     The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache the other died with you.  
        I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks.
        Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heart ache that never goes away.
          I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, until the joyous day arrives that we will meet again.
        💕  I love you Johnny and miss you so very much. Yours forever and always, Nancy

I never called you that you didn't come Daddy, no matter how irritated you might be at me for whatever it was I had gotten myself into against the advice you had given me. Everyone who knew Daddy knows that there was never any doubt where you stood with him. He never minced words, nor held back opinions, but if he loved you then he looked out for you.  When I needed you, you were there. I can't imagine my life without you in it anymore Daddy. It will never be the same for me without you here. I will always miss you terribly, that will never go away.
I love you Daddy and wish I had one more chance to tell you that.

Love, Johnna
