TEN years! I can still hear your laugh as Daniel and I play around. I can see your smile as you looked at your grandbabies. You are missed so very much, we talk about you often. I know you are watching over us, seeing how big your grands and Vera have gotten, our times together as a family. I love you and miss you dearly, Daddy <3

Happy Birthday Dad. Miss ya

Daddy, how does 8 years go by so fast? Yesterday, all I could think about was your laugh and how I miss it. How much you loved babies and animals.....and what a wonderful man you were. Sometimes we are so blinded by the things we think we need that we miss out on seeing what others need. I sure do wish I could turn back the clock and be the daughter/person I am now to you! I regret so much and wish I could show you how sorry I am. I took you for granted and when you left this world I pray to God you felt loved! I know you do now, being in Heaven....I hope you, grandma, Aunt Sandy, Uncle Bobby, Aunt Thelma, David Steele are all dancing in joy!

7 years Daddy, 7 years but it seems like just yesterday Momma came in to tell Johnny and I you had passed while we slept in the other room. Her and Jen sat by you as you took your last breath. No more pain they say but also there is no more hugs, no more candy in your left shirt pocket for the kids, no more fussing at you for feeding the dogs under the table, no more sitting in your favorite spot and Nina texting me she saw you, no more getting behind cars on the interstate wondering who is driving so freaking slow and then finding out its you, no more giving you gifts for special occasions that you don't use cause you were probably the simplest of men I ever knew, no more laughs when Daniel and I or the kids would rough house, no more Hawaiian shirts walking through the door, no more just knowing you are there and all will be okay when times get tough, no more you being the most selfless person in the room, building, city or state and no more hugs.....I so miss your hugs, I miss the way you loved us, I miss your smile, I miss your eyes!! I love you Daddy

How has it been 6 years already? I was talking with Ashlynn and Vera last night, showing Vera pictures of her with you and reminding her of the love you have for her and how she was so confused on the day you left this earth. Daddy, I hope you celebrate every day in Heaven you so deserve peace, unconditional love and true joy!!!!!!! I can still hear your laugh, see you feeding the dogs under the table and remember the calls and visits to check on us. I miss you so very much...thank you for rescuing me, forgiving me and loving me when it wasn't easy. I look forward to the day I get to hug you again.

Happy 5th Heavenly Birthday Daddy<3 Yesterday I just thought about how cancer stole you from us way too soon. I thought about all the unspoken words and how I wish I had said them while you were here. I look forward to the day I see you again to hug you and just talk. Your laugh starts to fade and I sit still and dig through all the useless mess in my head till I find it, I go through pictures of you and Vera, AShlynn and Chantz~ I see you smile at them and it brings peace knowing you are watching over them.
Big hug and kiss!
Love you Always,
Sherri

Your Birthday doesn’t pass without notice. You are truly missed and loved beyond words. Happy73rd Birthday Daddy

Hi Daddy❤️ How I wish you were here in front of me so I could tell you sorry, thank you, I love you and how much you are missed!! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you, I try to remember your laugh so I remember to all the times Daniel and I would pick on each other to hear it in my head! Or think of Nina flirting with you and you smiling and laughing!! Vera was talking of you the other day, how sweet that she still remembers you and she was only one when you had to go. The kids miss you, Ashlynn speaks of you often and I hope you can see Chantz wrestling. I know you’d be at every match if you were here. We miss and love you so very much daddy. Happy 4th Birthday in Heaven

Miss you Bro!

I cannot believe it's been 2 years since I have seen your smile or heard you laugh. I thought this was suppose to get easier as time goes by but it seems to get a little harder. I'm sure I do not need to update you on our funny, crazy, beautiful family because I know you are watching over us. I pray you know how much you are loved and missed! Happy 2nd Birthday in Heaven, pain free!!!

Merry Christmas Dad! I think about you often and wish I could hear you say "hey Johnny" as you walk through the door. They had some old videos at grandma's house of you and your family long ago. It brought a smile to my face to see parts of your life I never seen before. I liked the one of you rocking in the chair as I have been told about many times before you could be found.
 We all had some great and memorable Christmas with you. The year with the duck hunt video game or the night you sat up putting bikes together. Those are just a few of the best of times with you dad.

Merry Christmas Dad. I miss you very much and the kids do too.I spent most of the night with mom.We talked about all the good times we had around Christmas and other times like going to James Town beach.Thanks for all the good memories.Love Ya Pop

Daddy, I bet you had a wonderful first birthday in Heaven. It has been 2 months since you went home, We miss you terribly...Vera will see your picture on my phone and will call out to you. It makes me smile knowing she will never forget you. You truly never know what you have until they're gone. I find comfort hearing stories from those who knew you best. I talk to you every night and pray you hear me. We all miss and love you always know that:)

Happy Birthday Dad! I miss saying " Hi dad." when I walk in the old house. :)

Thank you for being my father. You are loved and greatly missed.
