Dear pawpaw,
I miss you so much. I will never forget you. You were the best. I love you. We have been camping out in the backyard to remember you. Me, mom, and Robert were. I (love)and miss you.
                                                          Love your grandson Demitri

Father of mine, it's only been two long very long months since you were taken from us to soon! I know your in a better place now but that does not help the pain. I always thought of you being here forever and me going on before you but I always knew that was a fantasy and not realistic. Thing is it kills me not knowing if you suffered and what your last thoughts were. K love you and you would be so proud of your grandson. He is going to be a fifth grader this year so let me ask you that question you always asked me are you smarter than a fifth grader? Love always Na

My dear father HOW I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I love you so much and cant want for the day that we can be reunited once again. Your grandson misses you so much and he is growing up to be such a handsome young man! He is getting so tall and he loves to draw and he talks about you everyday. Yesterday it was the story of how you taught him that race-car you could spell backwards and it would still spell race-car and this past weekend he got himself a can of vieanna sausages and had to tell the story of how you and him hiked up this large mmountain to have a pinic and once he got there he threw his vieanna sausages off the side of the mountain. Known to you and I the old dump. But We love and miss you dearly! Love Always Na, and Demitri.

Dad! Oh how I miss you so much! I know your not here physically but you are here in spirit! You live within me! I love you love!!!

I love you and miss you more than words can explain.

Just stopping by to say I miss you so much!

Dad I miss you so much! I wish you could come home with me and that we could go out on a walk. I Love you so much!

Dad I so wish you were here with me. Sitting on front porch talking bout all my problems! But this is all I got left to talk to you with! You always made everything so much better just by your words of WISDOM! I miss you so much I JUST WANT YOU BACK I NEED YOU BACK!

My dear brother, today has been very difficult for me. Got mail today that was a reminder that you touched lives while here on earth, and then someone reminded me of the tootsie roll memory. I know you are not here in person, but you will always be with me in my heart and memories, and I have a lot of those.

Dad it is so hard to believe that it has been a month since that dreaded knock on my door. I remember it like it was yesterday! It kills me knowing that I will not be able to enjoy that kiss on the forehead before you would leave and you saying STEP AWAY FROM THE FITZGERALD! There isnt a second of my day that I do not think of you. You are the most important man in my life and always will be. You have tought me so many things and have helped me become the person that I am today and I thank you for that. There isnt enough words in the world to describe how I feel about this. This website that this GUEST BOOK is on is been the way that I have had my connection with you these last 30 days but now it is time for them to take it down. I do not want you to be gone but I have to accept the fact that you are gone off this earth but not gone forever. You live in my heart and always will. I do not want to say goodbye I want you to just pop around the corner and say do you hate me yet? Or hey NANA have I gotten on your nerves yet. Most times my answer was no but sometimes the answer would be hell yes go take a nap somewhere. Well now I do not want you to be taking no nap I want you to be sitting here with me getting ready to watch the news or even just laying on my couch talking about how you didnt want to be a problem to me or be taking up my space, truth be told you never were a problem I enjoyed every moment that we had to spend with each other. I love you so much and you remain in my heart and the hearts of many others! Never to be forgotten! Love always and forever you daughter! Christina Renee Fitzgerald

Dad your in my heart and so deep in my thoughts. I want to co.e to be with you but your grandson needs me. He misses you very very much and I do too.

RICKY--THINKING OF YOU. AND ALWAYS WILL.

Rip uncle ricky! You will always b in my heart! And a awesome uncle!

As children we were either at your house or you all were at ours. Especially when you all lived on Old White Hill Road and we would all play for hours. So many memories of our childhood that were fun even when we got in trouble. I remember you and Christine when visiting from MN and then when you moved back you would just drop in whenever. My fondest memories will always be treasured and remembered especially our journey to the Fitzgerald-Carr-Painter Cemetery up on the hill on 56. Ricky was very knowledgeable and we would talk about many different things when we spent time with each other. A typically barefoot witty free spirit that lived his life exactly like he wanted. My cousin I will miss you and love you!!

there are so many things going thru my head I want to say but cant find the words so Im just going to say that Im going to to miss you very much and the silly things you would say and how angry you would make me and then ask me "do you hate me " no I never hated you I cared about you a lot and I am goin to miss all the "along the way flowers" I used to get when you come to visit I am so  glad we shared so many memories and I was given that chance to care for your children they are my children as well in my heart and will always be, you will be greatly missed but never forgotten RIP love ,Robin

God Bless You Becky Jo,Richie,Christina,Katrina and all u guys that is Hurting!

RIP dad you'll be forever in my heart and memories

Dad there are no words to describe what you mean to me. You are the most amazing man I've ever met. I miss you so much. Your body may be gone but I know your spirit is still here with me.  Until we meet again daddy I will be missing you.

If it wasnt for you i dont know who i would be.  You taught me so much and always knew the right way to handle things.  I dont know if you knew how much you had in creating who I am today but it was a huge part.  I will always remeber and cherish our times together.  I know towards the end they were limited but they were still unforgettable.  I will miss you greatly.  Love you

 I am so glad I had the opertunity to know such a wonderful person. You will truly be missed by so many!

Ricky was a great man. He will be missed by so many and he was loved by so many.

My father, my hero, my everything! Loved more than all the words in all the books in the world and missed by many!

Dad you are my hero! We didn't always see eye to eye but you were always on my mind and in my heart. All the years we spent apart when we reunited it's like we were never separated. This has been the most difficulit thing that I have ever had to do but I know that you are in a magical place and feel no pain and are at peace. You left behind your grandson who absolutely adores you and talks about you all the time and the things y'all did together. And just so you know it I went bare feet yesterday at the service even though to hate to get my feet dirty just so you'd be happy. I did things just the way you had asked me several times over the last two years. You are so special to me and I regret not speaking to you before this horrific event occured. I want you to know I love you more then life itself and I'd rather you be here then me. I love you and miss you so much. Also one last thing just So you know my last name is legally Fitzgerald again on my ID and that I did just cause you wanted it done.

A true gem and amazing soul. I thank the Lord for crossing our paths for you taught me about myself, others, and to appreciate the beauty we are surrounded with. R.I.P. Until we meet again my friend.

I am glad you had people in your life that loved you. We we were so young but I never forgot you. I can't believe so many years have gone bye. You were a great friend. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Your in God's hands now. God speed.
