It's been one of those weeks Daddy and I can blame it on a million things, but it all comes down to me missing you as much now as I did yesterday and all the days before. I struggle because it's like there was no closure. One minute your here and the next your gone. I keep trying to tell myself your on a walkabout that way I don't feel so lost but it's not working. I need your help daddy..

Happy Birthday Daddy. I hope you are having the best birthday ever with all your loved ones in heaven. I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea and I miss you more than I can even begin to explain to anyone...but you know and that is what matters most. ((hugs)) ~Nay

to take me awhile till I can get use to this.. & Thursday when it his 12 am & I saw the date I wanted to collapse... I honestly don't even know how I got to school okay.. I tried so hard not to have break downs, & tried surrounding myself around positive people.. I know your last wishes were for our family to be close, but sadly it didn't happen.. But I will never leave this family, I will

December 1, 2012

Well Papa it's December 1st... It's been a year since you've been gone & I celebrated my first Turkey day as you called it without you.. I would've gotten on here Thursday but I didn't have the strength to do so. Thanksgiving was very hard without you, I remember I use to always sit there & eat with you, make your plates cause you were to lazy, & now I cant do that anymore... :/ It's going

November 30, 2012

How can it be that it has been one year since we lost you? I have spent the day reliving this day a yr ago over and over again it seems so surreal that it has been a year, the pain is still so strong I love you and miss you so..........

November 29, 2012

Well Daddy, Its been a year to the day. And its been hard, but I've managed to stay busy. I even schedule my dentist appointment today so I would get distracted...lol. Needless to say it helped alittle. Well we had a good Thanksgiving I managed to make rounds to everyone, except Bubba...I'm not even sure where he lives. But it wasn't the same. I miss you... we all miss you...love you.

August 30, 2012

Hi Daddy, Mikey and I leave in a few hours to go to Colorado for a few weeks and I am broken hearted that I will not be taking you with me to full fill one of your final wishes. But I know you understand and I find peace in knowing that you will be with me in spirit as always. We will jeep to the highest mountain trail and blast "Heaven" for you! :) I love and miss you so very much!! <3

May 6, 2012

HappyBirthday Uncle.... I have been watching how you leaving this life to go onto the next has has such an impact on the family, not only the near dear ones but my mom as well. I wish that there could have been time to repair what ever happened between you and mom, she loves you very much, and misses you every day, she knows that when her time comes that you will come to help her take

May 6, 2012

I hope you have the most wonderful birthday in heaven. I hope you know how much I love you and miss you. I know you know everything now and I don't have to keep telling you, but I don't want you to forget. You'll always be my "only papa" as you used to say... XOXO

May 6, 2012

"hi sweetheart, I love you with all my heart" I said I loved you with all my butt cause its bigger. You passed just days later. Sometimes I feel lost when I think about you because how can someone I loved so much just be gone it doesn't seem real. Today is your birthday you're finally 65 even though you always told people you were already 65. I guess in your book that means your 66 now.

May 6, 2012

Seem fair. It's another sleepless night I'm having a hard time letting you go. I know you're all better now, but I wasn't ready for you to leave. You're my heart and now I'm broken. With everything going on right now I need you. I miss your random phone calls and your silly smart ass remarks. I still remember the the last thing you said to me. You some up groggy and said

May 6, 2012

My Papa,

Last night I sat in your chair in your spot on the back porch and the happy memories hit me like a brick. The walk-A-bouts, "hiding Easter eggs", the bunnies... Then the tears hit. No words can describe how much my heart still hurts. Not having anything but memories just doesn't

May 6, 2012

Tomorrow would have been your 65th birthday. I always did your birthdays up big style...oh how I wished I could give you just one more party... just one more :'( I miss you so very much and I will love you forever and a day......Linda

May 4, 2012

Well Daddy, I lost my Maddie and I'm having a really hard time with it. My only consolation is knowing shes with you now. She was the only dog you actually liked...lol. I remember catching you two sitting on the couch watching tv together eating peppermints. Yet you two would pretend later you hated each other, the only ppl you were fooling were yourselves, rub her belling for me would ya.

March 25, 2012

It's another sleepless night for me Daddy, and I am missing you like crazy. It is still so unbelievably hard for me to accept you are forever gone. They say with time it all get's easier. I call BS, because I miss you just as much now as I did the day you passed away. I just keep thinking that it's all a bad dream. I will wake up and you will be here. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Hug Barbi for me!

March 9, 2012

I thought I smelt you today...sounds funny, but its true. I turned around and looked for you. I didn't see you but I knew you were there. I smelt your vanilla and amaretto tobacco I used to buy you for your pipe. It was bizarre because I was at home alone. So my thought was it had to be you checking in....miss you always...xoxo

March 6, 2012

Missing you today..just like yesterday..and the day before..but that's nothing new! I love you Daddy, higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Forever and Always! (\o/)

February 8, 2012

Hey papa, I haven't really talked to you lately.. I'm sorry.. So much has been going on, but I'm sure you already know about that.. I wish you were here, I desperately need your advice.. & just you to hold me. I feel so lonely, & I feel like nobody is there, but I know they are.. I love & miss you... love Laylay

February 5, 2012

Thinking about you a LOT today Daddy. I hope things are as beautiful in heaven for you Daddy, as I have them pictured in my head. Not a single day goes by that I do not think about you or something silly you said or did. It may make me giggle or even cry, but the memories are priceless. I love you Daddy, higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, but missing you ALWAYS <3

January 3, 2012

I remember one day I came over & you knew who I was when I got there but when we were leaving I went to give you a hug & you said it was nice to meet you, & you asked what my name was.. I think that was the one thing that crushed me. I stayed strong in front of everyone, but once I got home I cried. I know it wasn't your fault papa, & I'm not mad at you for it. I love & miss you. - Laylay

January 3, 2012

thing I've ever gone through. I remember when you first got put in the hospital I would come see you at the crack of freaking dawn. Right after cross country practice when I was all sweaty, no make up, & tired as hell. & I babied you, sneaking you chocolate & everything when nobody was looking & giving you some of my dp. But what I regret most is not seeing you as much once you got home.

January 3, 2012

stay the night, but I did. Because I know you needed me. I mean you needed someone to wash your nasty dishes, & watch weird movies with you. It's still so hard to believe you aren't here anymore. You were my papa the strongest man I knew. Nothing could take you away from me. You were like a god in my eyes. & I still think of you as that man. Seeing you so weak & fragile was the hardest

January 3, 2012

at me because I was your closure. I now am so grateful that it was me. I lived with you for a long time. & when grandma left you, I felt that you wouldn't love me the same because she was living with me. But you still loved me. I'm so sorry that I didn't see you as much as you would have wanted. But I did come & see you, when nobody else wanted to. There were days I didn't want to come

January 3, 2012

screaming & crying, & I was scared. I was so scared. I have never been so scared in my entire life. I felt that it was my fault that you left us right then & there. I thought because I touched you or something it caused that. I wanted to just hit the ground & curl up in a ball. But I know I couldn't do that right then. For the longest time I blamed myself, I thought everybody would be mad

January 3, 2012

Or what to expect. I finally got the chance to sit right next to you, & hold your hand. You're hands were so skinny, & scary, but I didn't care.. I came up to you & sat down & held your hand, gave you a kiss on your head & said I love you papa. & then you opened your eyes & looked at me & then up, you must have saw the light & Uncle Richard. & you took your last breath. Everybody was

January 3, 2012

I have a picture of me & you at moms wedding. You're holding me kissing me. There's not a day I don't look at that picture wishing I could go to you & give you a big kiss. Papa you were my daddy growing up. & now you're gone, you are the first person I've ever been close to, to pass. I was in the room with you the very moment you left us. It was very scary for me. I didn't know what to do

January 3, 2012

Papa... I miss you.. I have nights like these where just the littlest thing that reminds me of you, makes me break down. You were & still are my favorite papa. You loved me unconditionally. These past two months have really hard on me.. Things have happened that I haven't told anybody, things I would usually tell you & only you. Things I know you would keep a secret & give me advice on.

January 1, 2012

Hello Uncle.... I visit here often, and don't leave a note, and I think its because im not sure what to say.. I read what everyone has said, and pray for healing for them. I know that mom misses you and wishes she would have been able to tell you that she loves you very much. she has told me several times that no matter what you are her big brother and she loves you. she is having a hard

January 1, 2012

time with this as well, as everyone here. It comforts her to know that
Uncle Richard came for you, and she prays that when her time comes she will see you there for her. I go through the photos that have been
posted by everyone, and they make me giggle and make me sad at the same time. My heart goes out to my family .

December 30, 2011

Well daddy, it's me Ur lil bird and Im so lost without you! It's been a month now since you went to heaven and my heart still hurts and is so heavy! There are so many moments and times when I need you and I have to remember your no longer here with me! I know what I promised and I remember what you always told me and you were right as usual I do miss you so bad! And I'm not strong at all.

December 25, 2011

Well Daddy, its Christmas day. And I'm trying to be strong but I'm not doing a very good job of it. Ben's been trying too, she's failing as miserably as I am... It's not the same without you. This is the first Christmas in my 36 years that I haven't spent it with you. Change is hard and it's not the same anymore. I been told that in time it will get easier...God I hope so...xoxo

December 15, 2011

Papa Cass....sigh....I love you! I'm currently "chair dancing" to your song, which makes me sad and happy all at the same time. I know your family misses you and their heart aches for your contagious laughter and your hugs! Please know I will do my best to look after them and keep Nay moving forward. I love you and I'll catch you on the next train ride!! Meet you down at the pond! :)

December 12, 2011

There are days when I hear you singing in my ear...and there are times were I swear I see you dancing out of the corner of my eye. I just hope your singing and dancing in heaven...just make sure you save a dance for me.

December 8, 2011

Thinking of you tonight and remembering the good times I love you and miss you so much.......thanks for the hugs

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

June 18, 2012

Happy Father's Day Daddy. I hope it was a wonderful one for you in heaven, getting to spend it with your Daddy for the first time in 55 years! I know that we didn't spend many Father's Day's together in the past because of all the crazy "BS" as you called it. But I am so thankful we had time to bury that and move forward. We wasted no time did we? :) I am so thankful we had time to live, laugh and love. Because those are the memories I cherish and hold on to. Momma and I have worked very hard on your "Special Place" down at the pond. We just know it is everything you wanted it to be. We planted your favorite flowers and bushes. :) And everything was in full bloom today! I miss you Daddy, not a day goes by that I am not reminded of you, or think of something silly you said or did. Sometimes it makes me laugh..other times I just cry. I would give anything to have more walk-a-bout with you, one more back deck story or one more quiet time just sitting by the pond, with you holding my hand tight. I know I will never get any of those moments again, so I cherish the memories so very much. I am taking good care of Momma like you asked me to. She is all I have left, and I cherish everyday I have with her. Please keep looking out for Trey, Daddy we need him to get well and be strong. He has a long life ahead of him, ok? I know I have said ALL of this already to you today and I know I repeat myself..like a broken record..lol But I never want you to forget how much I love you and how much you are missed. I know you are never far from us we feel you around us all the time. :) Thank You Daddy for keeping your promise...I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
