First Christmas and New Years without you and mama. I wasn't so much in the Christmas mood this year. Things in my life have changed alot since you both passed. Im sure you and mama have been talking about it. Wish you were here to give me advice but rest assured i have lots a friends to help me through. I miss you both and will use the memories of how you and mama fought and beat adversity back as a shinning example of possibilities to come in my life. Its Mr. Eddies birthday today so make sure to pat him on the back. love you all so much. your Son Victor,

I went cut on that old dead tree the other day. I'm still trying to pick it all up. I know it was bothering you. We got most of the house cleaned up. It is so empty it hurts to look at it. I think it will all come together soon. Thinking of having to let it go after all the work you put into it over the years is tough. I know you understand it is something we have to do. I would rather have someone continue making memories there than it just sit there empty. Keeping it going has helped me cope with the loss of you and mama. Its like I'm still taking care of yall. But i feel like the house is part of yall to. It helped you and mama raise us and now maybe it can help raise others. The love is embedded in that home. It needs to be shared. Victoria started her freshman year. She misses you to. I wish you could have seen her do the ice bucket challenge. It was pretty funny. I miss you and mama both a lot. I hope i'm handling everything in a way you would approve of.
I love and miss you. 
Your Son Victor

In tears we saw you sinking,
and watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
because we wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping,
so peaceful, free from pain,
how could we wish you back with us,
to suffer through that again.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God took you home.


It's been 6 months since I've been able to see that beautiful face of yours. I miss you more than words can express. Sunday was our first Father's Day without you. Please know you were thought of with love and thankfulness. Thank you for all that you did for this family. There are very few men, if any,(other than you)that would have taken on the challenge you did of marrying a woman that already had 8 children. I thank God He sent you to us. Please give mama a hug and kiss for me. I miss you both so much. Please keep watch over us. 
Until we are together again,
All my love,
Nancy

I light a candle in memory of a great man!  I love and miss you dearly paw-paw.  I find great comfort in knowing you are right where you've been longing to be- in heaven in the arms of your beautiful wife again! xoxox to maw and paw

Its been two weeks today. Even in your sickness and loneliness from missing mama, just hearing your voice meant the world to me. i never realized this until the ability to call you and her was gone.
We had some heated conversations this past year due to your broken heart and illness. I did everything i knew to do to try and help you through the darkness. Id like to say im sorry if there was anything i could have and didnt do. I wanted to ease your pain but nothing could fill the void. That void just made you sicker and sicker.I hope you and mama enjoyed christmas together. I know you could not have handled spending another without her.I miss yall more than ever.I hope i have made you proud to have had me as a son. Ill keep trying to make you proud all the days of my life. I hope you approve of the job the honor guard did. They were proud to be there in your honor. Its new years eve today so give mama a kiss for me. Love you
