When I woke up and realized 16 years have passed…I was in shock and disbelief. I love you PaPa. You are forever in my heart, and I know I will see you again. I know you have found the best fishing hole in heaven and the best chocolate milkshakes ❤️ Oh, how I wish you were here to know my family and see your beautiful grandchildren as they grew up. You have 6 beautiful great grandchildren, and I tell them all the time what a wonderful man you were. Until I see you again waiting at the gate…know I love and miss you.

16 years sounds like such a long time, but I can still hear your laughter and see you sitting in your chair, I can even vividly remember your love of playing music together. I love you Dad and miss you everyday!

Hey daddy I can't believe how long it's been since you went to heaven. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I tell a lot of your jokes to the grandkids and they love them even though they don't really get them they love hearing them. I sure do miss you daddy. Melissa is 36 years old today isn't that wild? Time is really flying. Mom is just as beautiful as ever you would really be proud of her she's just amazing but I'm sure she misses you more than I can even imagine but our family will be together again one day when the good lord calls us home. I love you daddy and I miss you.

Hey Daddy...I sure miss you...I love you...I so miss your voice and smile. I miss sitting and talking with you at the table and outside on the porch. I can't wait to see you again. Mom's doing great. You would be so proud of her. You would be so proud of how she is doing in her health and staying by herself. She is still so beautiful...I moved away but things are changing and I am going to move closer to her. I want to spend time with her and have together like we did. We are planning a birthday party for her she will love it ...she deserves it ...we haven't thrown momma a party in a long time....it will be fun...wish you were here ...we all miss you daddy...love you ...
Love you and miss you daddy.
Your baby girl

Hey! Happy birthday old man! I sure do miss and love you. Your picture is hanging in my living room and I speak of you often. My little boy asked me yesterday to go fishing and with today being your birthday, I figured I'd take him and try to bait his hook. I love you so much and you were taken far too soon. Well happy birthday!

How are things at Home ? Is it all you expected it to be. No one old and feeble anymore? No more sickness or pain and we'll never be lonely again. No more crying. Love and miss you still.

Spring River:

June 20, 2015

As a young girl, I loved going camping with my family.  We arrived at our favorite spot on Spring River, cold, clear-to-the-bottom running river.... I decided to "show off" and while saying "I can swim", JUMPED IN... I swam... straight to the bottom, like a rock... the next thing I knew, as I was gulping COLD water, was Dad's strong arm and the sounds of his laughter pulling me up out of the water... I never JUMPED in that river again!  Thanks Dad, for saving my onery behind... more than once...
