Dear Dad,
I think about you everyday. I wish I could've talked to you once more to thank you for all the times you picked me up when I had fallen. Words can't express how much I love you. I promise I will make you proud! Please continue to be my Dad by watching over me and my family :) Thank you for always being there, never judging and always supporting me.
Love you Dad,
Kelley

Dear Dad, 
The way you lived your life has impacted me in so many ways. I will miss you and your silenting mentoring everyday. You were an amazing man that gave far more than you received. I will love you forever. 
Your loving daughter, 
Jill

Roger....
We shared 25 years together and 3 beautiful children.  I am sorry I cannot be there for your final service.  I guess I always thought you would live forever and in a way you are in your wonderful children.  Roger. Please watch over them and continue to share your wisdom and your strength with them.  I will miss you and forever remember what we shared.  May you rest in peace.
Love....Jerrine

As our love grew I realized what a rare gem you were.  You could light up the room with your smile and you certainly lit up my life.  Losing you is so incredible hard for me. I will always cherish the time we had together.

Forever, Diane
