Dad, I can’t believe it’s been 7 years already that you’re gone. And now your son has joined you, and he was only 55 years old. Gone way too soon. I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye either.
Mom has been having a bit of a hard time lately, her sundowning is bad and she’s been hallucinating frequently. They have her on meds and it seems to control her aggression but not the hallucinations.
I’ll talk again later...Love you, Sandy

Happy Birthday in Heaven Dad! Thinking of you and missing you as always! Aunt Ruthie remembered your birthday...said she always made you a rhubarb pie. Went to visit mom today, didn’t mention that it was your birthday...I don’t think she remembers. Got her a robotic companion cat for mother’s day. She really loves it! I’m hoping it will keep her busy and give her some company when no one is around. Well gotta run, Hope you had a good birthday! Love you ❤️

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Dad...thinking of you and missing you always!
Lots of changes going on right now, mostly for the better.
Kelly is now with you up in Heaven. Had to put her down in January of 2018. Mom was/is devastated but she won't be getting another cat. She was having difficulty taking care of Kelly before she got sick. In fact she is having difficulty with a lot of things since she fell in October of 2017. Things have been going downhill since then.
I know you know that I am doing the best that I can, but she can be very difficult and demanding at times. You are right, doesn't matter how much I do for her...it's just never enough!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday and know that I'm thinking of you always!
Love you, Sandy

Tell everyone up there with you that I say hi and give Mik and Max a big kiss from me...miss my furbabies terribly. Love ya, Sandy

Hi Dad, today its 3 years since you left this world to go to a better place but the ones you left behind are still struggling here without you. So much has happened in this last year...both good and bad. I wish I could talk with you even though I know you are watching over us. I miss you so very much...I can not even find the right words to express how I feel. Mom's health has been failing since February and I'm doing the best I can to help out. Its just hard because of me having my own set of problems with Wayne passing away. Love you and miss you awful...til I see you again.

I have a picture from when I was little, and it is a little worn on the corners; but I have it in a hope-chest with a couple other important pictures. I am sitting on his lap and he is sitting on a computer chair by the computer. I used to play games with him sometimes on that computer and I remember it was a ton of fun. When a person passes, photos and memories are left to help the loved ones continue with some joy in their lives. Even negative memories are valued... they are bittersweet. I live and will continue to live each day with these memories of mine, valuing every single one.

Hi Pappy,
I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you! This past 2 years have not been easy knowing that I will not be able to see you or hear your voice anymore. I think about you everyday and I know that you are watching over us everyday. I miss you pappy and I love you!

Dad,
Today it's been 2 years since you went home. Things will never be the same here without you. I wish I could talk to you....having really hard times now and could use your wisdom and guidance. I posted some new pictures of you and mom, me and Mik. Please give that dog a real big hug for me...I miss you both so very much. My heart is forever broken with you gone. Love you Dad and will be seeing you someday.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the passing of my Dad. I took my computer down to my moms today to show her this memorial.....we both had a good cry.
Love you and miss you Dad, hope things are better in heaven than they are here. You are in a better place, no more pain, no worries. I'll be seeing you some day.

Knowing Norman, his jolly laugh, big smile, his love of fishing, his particular ways, his love for good food, his love for this family, he was the 'who to go to' with a problem. Let me count the ways there are many, these are just a few. As I reflect back in all the years which I have know Norman, it is with great happiness and I smile as I see him in my minds memory. You are greatly MISSED

As the 1 year anniversary of Dad's passing is approaching, I wanted to create something special where family and friends can come and share their thoughts, memories and post photos of my father, Norman Snyder.

July 14, 2013

Norman really enjoyed my rhubarb pies - his face lit up everytime I
presented him with one! I surely will miss making those pies for him.
We miss him - may he rest in peace.

July 14, 2013

I have known Norman since I was a child growing up in the neighborhood, As a young child I remember being a little afraid of him, because like my father, he was a no nonsense man. As I grew up, I remember him to be insightful, and funny. He was like another father to me since I spent so much time at the house, vacations, day trips.... He will always be remembered fondly by me.

Final Wishes

July 19, 2013

Dad had a few final wishes in the days before he passed away. He wanted to see his sister, Anna Mack, so I arranged to pick her up and take her down to St. Lukes Hospice House. He was so happy to see her! Although he was having difficulty speaking, we all could understand him. It was difficult for my Aunt Anna to see him like that but it was his desire to go to the hospice house. He could no longer do any of the things that he loved, going fishing, being outside in the summer mowing the grass, tinkering around with stuff, traveling, etc.

Another wish he had was to see his unborn great grandson. Me and my daughter Stacy, went down to visit him one night and for some unknown reason, he was calling the baby "Mitch". Cole was born on August 10th, 2012 and in my fathers honor, she changed his middle name to be Mitchell. And even though he is still very young, Cole reminds me alot of my father, he always has a smile on his face and is pretty laid back, like my dad was.

He also wanted to see the cat, Kelly, but it would have scared her too much to be transported in the car so mom brought a picture of her to dad. He smiled and touched the picture and said "Kelly". He really loved that cat! He was the one that picked her out at the Adoption Day at Phillips Feed Store,

A Poem

July 14, 2013

There's a dull ache within my heart

Things will never again be the same

Life is so difficult now

Wish you could come back and make it go away.

I think about you quite alot

Each and every day

Wondering if you're watching from above

And what words of wisdom you would have to say.

I miss you Dad, more than I can say

Our family is forever torn apart

But it was time for you to go home

To light the way for us to follow someday.
