Just thinking about you Dad. Yesterday was a hard day for me. I was missing you so much. I miss you all the time but of course some times are harder then others. Alyssa and Kylie just started school and we have to pass by the road the funeral home is on and it’s hard. You have been gone a little over a year now and I was hoping it would get easier but the realization of never being able to see you again is so hard.  I know I have to keep pushing because my daughters need me and that’s what you taught me to do. I love you dad so much and look forward to the day of seeing your face. 

Dad I just know in my heart that your with Great Granddad and Great Granny and your Brother and all our other past loved ones. Give them a hug from me and soon I will be with you again in Gods timing. Until then know that I love you and im doing my best to take care of my girls, Granny, the doggies and myself. I always remember everything you taught me and will always be like your little girl. Well goodbye for now I’m try to get some rest. Love you 

Robby (AKA Dad) had 4 dogs when he passed away they all loved him so much. They was so sad and depressed for for months and months. You could just see the sadness in all of there eyes. Especially Cocoa his Cane Corso she would mown at night and I always caught the smaller dogs trying to sleep under his bed. I am glad that they had each other to mourn with & didn’t feel alone. Also they sure was a comfort to me when I was staying at his house taking care of things after he passed. They are doing a little better now finnally, there eating better and wanting to come outside more and not just stay in the house. I feel like they are a part of him & can’t bare to Re-Home give them away. I thought about it because it’s so many but thankfully with the help of family and friends I’m able to keep them. I know he would be happy about that. He used to ask me Amanda what are you going to do with all these dogs when I die and I always said well I will keep them of course and anyways your not going anywhere.  Love Always, Your loving Daughter Amanda Thomas 

Happy Fathers Day Dad.  I love and miss you so much.  Your always in my thoughts and my heart. I wear your fingerprint necklace everyday. Your granddaughters say hello and they love and miss you dearly.  As well as your dogs Cocoa, Brutus, pee wee and flash . I’m trying my best to stay strong for my daughters and make you proud. It’s hard not having you by my side anymore,  but your love was so great that I still feel it today and I am very grateful for that. To the Best Dad Ever Your Loving Daughter, Amanda Lynn Thomas  Daddy’s girl for life
