Howwwdy, look I put the tree up before everyone else this year. I wanted some early happiness , Christmas is my favorite holiday. Everyone seems nicer it’s festive & lots of beautiful decorations. I wish you were still here, you have 2 new grandchildren on the way. Christopher & coral are expecting & jazzy is also expecting, funny thing is they are a month or so apart.  We all try to keep in touch & we do a pretty good job of that. You always told us to stay connected  & to not forget about each other.  We miss you so much, your funny humor & the punchlines to bad jokes you’d forget. I hope when my time comes you will be there to guide me  like you did when I was a child. I love you dad , till  we talk again next year rest easy & be happy dancing with Mighty Mouse . Watch out for that darn blue bird of happiness haha

Today is the kind of day you would love, lots of beautiful blue sky with clouds like gossamer wings &  birds singing.  It’s been 8 years & that hasn’t made it any easier. There is so much i wish you were here to see, be a part of. I know all 4 of your squirrel’s feel the same way,  you were our best friend, confident, biggest supporter of whatever we wanted our lives to be. You didn’t always agree, you would say your piece & let us figure it out. Your squirrel’s meant the world to you & you to them. We miss you everyday & are so very blessed & grateful to have had you with us as long as we did. This day is a day the 4 of us feel together as one even though we are miles apart


I miss talking to you, I know your dancing & painting up a storm. I’d give anything to have you back even if just for a few minutes. I love ❤️ you dad & thank you for the life, love ❤️ & 2 beautiful sisters &  brother I have because of you.

We were so very lucky 🍀 to have you as our father. Always bringing home stray animals, you didn’t always appreciate it yet you let us keep them.  The ole bluebird of happiness that wasn’t always a happy one  but a sarcastic one 😆 you lived long & prosper  Spock would be proud  I love ❤️ you & miss you & being able to share beautiful times & memories life is giving me. I love ❤️ you , till we see each other again

You were truly a vey special father, husband and friend. You will be missed. Your letters will be missed as well. It was an honor to call you my friend.

One of the most loving, sweet and caring persons I've ever had the honor of knowing. Jose, it was a pleasure having had you in my life. Each Christmas I've sent you a Christmas card addressed to both you and Mighty Mouse. It is now time to celebrate your new life back together again with your beloved Mighty Mouse. Rest in peace my friend. You have earned your place in heaven. Ed and Audrey
