It’s been 5 years, when it seems like only yesterday we said goodbye. The memories are as fresh as the day we made them & I can still hear your voice when certain words or phrases are said. I know how proud you would be of Marissa right now, she got her drivers license! 16 snuck up quickly on us just as the last 5 years have gone by so fast. Kevin made a rock garden this year & all I could think about was the rocks you gave him on our wedding night, we’re putting Marissa’s stepping stone she made for you in the rock garden as a tribute & I think you would approve ❤️ There isn’t a day that goes by we don’t think about you & I know you’re watching over us, we love you & GG so much! Please keep an eye on Marissa while she masters the rules of the road.

Today you would’ve been 94 ❤️ I hope you’re living it up in heaven on your special day. I miss you extra on these days but have SO many cherished memories to hold on to they definitely help ease the emptiness. I hope you’re smiling the way you always did & keeping an eye on the family. Miss you bunches, all my love & hugs & kisses

Love ❤️ you always in all ways.

Dear Grandpa,
You have been on my mind a lot lately....
I know I never did get to thank you for dealing and putting up with me.... I never thanked you for filling in as a father figure for me... I know I was not much to be proud of growing up but I hope today you can be proud of me...
I love you...
I will forever carry you close in my heart...
Thank you again...

Sorry I am so late in wishing you a happy birthday but I was moving into a new house. Thoughts and prayers are with you always....

Hi there, Happy father’s day. Just wanted to let you know that I’m still here loving you and missing you . I try to tell you every day, just how much . I listen to a couple of songs ,one by Kenny Rogers , “Thru The Years “and one by Anne Murray,” You NeededMe”. They make me cry. I miss you so. There is a saying that keeps repeating in my head, don’t know where it originated but it is so true, it goes “you were always there when I needed you and I always needed you.” ❤️ Love you always, in all ways.

June 16, 2019

Happy Father's Day! I miss you and love you every bit as much today as I did when you left us three years ago. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts everyday. Thanks for watching over us.

January 16, 2019

Hi love of my life.
“Today is your birthday in heaven above, so I’m sending my love on the wings of a dove.”
You are always on my mind and in my heart ♥️ Remember, missing you is easy, I do it every day, loving you is a heartache that never goes away.

December 22, 2018

Dad, I miss you every day of my life and that will never change. Happy Birthday and thank you so much for all you have ever done for me. I love you so very much.

December 21, 2018

Hello honey, I can’t believe you have been gone for two years. My life has changed so much. The house is so empty without you. I still make fruit bowls for breakfast and pretend you are here with me. I love ❤️ and miss you

December 21, 2018

Happy Birthday Dad. When I think about you in heaven I can only pray your days are pain free. I miss you so very much. You always brought laughter into my life. Hugs and kisses Dad.

December 21, 2018

Happy 92nd birthday papa❤️I miss you, I hope you see this. I love you. I wish you could see me Shelby and Logan. They’re growing up real fast. You’d like Tristan. I miss peeling grapes for you. Even the I cheated a bit. I’m sure you don’t mind now. I know your in a better place and have all the no beer and Milano cookies you need. We miss you dearly! I love you so much papa! Have a great day!❤️

Happy Father’s Day to the only father figure I knew growing up. You were the best at everything! You could sketch up anything I requested, taught me how to fish/hunt/shoot pool/paddle boat,row boat/how to not call you Grandpa while in the store so I could eat ice cream & candy bars for breakfast! You were always there for me & after walking me down the aisle to hand me over to Kevin, you were always there for him too! After Marissa came along there wasn’t anything you wouldn’t have done for her either! I miss you & love you so much!! I hope you’re having a fantastic day with your dad today.

March 13, 2018

Hi honey, today is two years since you fell and broke your hip. I remember that night so well. The beginning of the end of our life together. I miss you so. 65 years is a loooong time. I want you to know, “you will never be forgotten and every day I shed a tear, but it’s only cause I love you and wish you were still here.

December 22, 2017

Hope you had an awesome day Dad. I love and miss you so very much.

Dear Papa, we miss you so much and love I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and Merry Christmas with a Happy New Year

This is a poem I ran across in the newspaper. Don’t know the author but I can hear Rich saying this to me. It absolutely breaks my heart.

Do not ask me to remember
Do not try to make me understand,
Let me rest and know you’re with me,
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I’m confused beyond your concept,
I am sad and sick and lost
All I know is that I need you,
To be with me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me
Do not scold or curse my cry
I can’t help the way i’m acting
Can’t be different, though I try.
Just remember that I need you
That the best of me is gone.
Please don’t fail to stand beside me
Love me till my life is gone.

We went to the wood
And there we stood

Saying this ones for you
And I could tell everyone was broken in 2

With tears in our eyes
We said love you and our goodbyes

Even tho we were sore
Papa we will always love you forevermore

I love you papa❤️
-Marissa

I can't believe it's been 14 months already Papa I went to see your stone but all I'm going to say is I love you and miss you sooooo much. <33333333333

July 21, 2017

Rich, remembering you is easy, I do it every day. Missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

June 15, 2017

I can't believe it has been a year since you went away. I love you and miss you more than I thought possible. You took care of me for so many years and did such a great job, I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that you are gone. It is not easy and there is no easy way to make my heart understand. The pain is always there. Just remember ,,, if I had my life to live over, I would still fall in love with you.
It was worth the pain.

June 14, 2017

Dad my heart is broken as I sit here and think it has already been a year since our last day together. That last day was the hardest day of my life. I knew you were in pain and I wanted you to feel better but at the same time I wanted to scream don't go I can't face life without you. You were there for me when ever I needed anything and when ever the girls needed anything. But what I remember the most all the time we spent together how special it truly was. I miss you terribly. I pray you are in a better place. You are in my heart and thoughts always!!!

June 14, 2017

Papa it has been 1 year but it feels as if it's been 2 days. I miss you so much no words can explain how much I miss you and love you but it's a lot. Everyone is missing you in their own ways some have shown it some have not but that ok I know they still miss you. Papa I hope you are ok and are still having a great time. I love you and miss you so so much. ~Marissa

June 14, 2017

I can,t believe it's been a year Dad. I still miss you so very much. I just hope that you are having the best you could ever have and I love you for being here for me as you always were. Thank you. You are a very special person to so many.

March 8, 2017

Papa if your reading this or see me type this know that I miss you and the more it comes to June 14 the more emotional and the more I miss you and I can't believe it almost 1 year sometimes I wish that I stayed at the hospital with my mom than went home with my dad I just didn't know that you would be gone early the next morning and every time I eat a grape I think of you. Sometimes I feel that I have cried a river sometimes it feels like this is just a dream a long long dream and I can't wake up.

December 24, 2016

Merry Christmas Dad. Hope you had a great birthday, Thank you for watching over me.

December 24, 2016

Dad I miss you so very much! This holiday and every other one will never be the same without you! I pray that where you are you have reunited with your family and friends and the after life is beautiful. I feel you with me at times. I love you dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 21, 2016

Grandpa, today you would've been 90! I sure do miss you, your sense of humor & your laugh ❤ I will celebrate you today & know that you're looking down with a smile for all of us who miss & love you dearly! I love you & miss you so much!!!

July 11, 2016

Jody, Mrs. Wludyka, Becky, David and family...I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Wludyka and I wanted you to know I am thinking about all of you. I will light a candle tonight for Mr. Wludyka. Please take care...

June 19, 2016

There are no words really to say to make this any easier to handle. You were always there for everyone whenever we needed anything. You knew how to make us laugh and smile at all the right times. Today is a day I wish you were here to say something to make me laugh again and smile. We had a great life with you in it and now that you are gone we will have to always talk and share all those great times, funny stories and warm feelings when you were with us. Logan and Shelby will never forget what an amazing Papa you were to them. I promise to make sure you are always in their heart and thoughts as you are in mine. No one can ever replace you or fill your shoes. We love you so much!! I will hold to my word and make sure to always be there for grandma like I told you I would. Rest in peace.

June 19, 2016

May this flower repusent the essence of our love.❤️ You always did the stuff that we told you to do. (Besides eat.) All the fish you caught, all the animals you hunted, they will all be loved because of you. Even though you would always sleep during an acation or just simply sit in your recliner, we would always know that you could hear, and would laugh, and listen with us. Becky and Tonya have seen their sign I haven't seen mine but I still know that you watch over me. I feel bad for my mom though she doesn't have the father that she had for the first 30 years of her life for Father's Day even though she has her real father by her side. The house he would sleep in, eat in, and be the best in. It feels so empty, and cold. But I still know that you are here. May love be by your side as you rest in peace. We will think of you always. Happy Father's Day Papa.

From the days of fishing with him on the dock when I was very young, The little boat that he built for me, Hunting together. He was always there to help when I had a fence to build or a problem to solve. Thanks Dad. I know you are in a better place. You will always be forever remembered.

June 17, 2016

My mom and dad were really good friends with the Wludykas. I remember going out on the boat fishing with Rich when I was younger. I was afraid of the fish and Rich had to take all my fish off the hook. And never complained. I remember how much he liked to fish. He will be truly missed.

June 17, 2016

Let there be happiness and never any pain in heaven for you Dad. Without you I would of never became the self-sufficient person I am. I thank you for being the most wonderful, caring, loving father anyone could have. You went above and beyond when it came to being a grand father. I miss you so much please come and watch over me if you can.

June 16, 2016

May the light you've given to each of us shine bright every day. You were the most inspiring, caring, loving, giving & spunky guy I've ever known. You taught me so much over the years, always so patient during each lesson. I'm forever grateful for being blessed to have you in my life & be able to call you Grandpa. You were also the most amazing great grandpa to Marissa, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts ♡ We love you more than words can adequately express. May you rest in peace, until we meet again ♡

June 16, 2016

As a kid I always remember Dick coming over to our house in his white Mustang visiting the family. Dick and my dad always went hunting together, when my dad wasn't able to hunt with him anymore he was always there for my dad bringing him over frozen rabbits ready to be cooked. He was a good friend to my dad thank you for being there for him. Rest in peace Dick hope you meet up with my dad for a few laughs.

Another Anniversary

February 17, 2019

Here we are again . Another anniversary # 68. Another poem.

Silent Tears

Each night I shed a silent tear

As I speak to you in prayer

To let you know I love you ♥️♥️♥️

And just how much I care

Take my million teardrops

I’ll wrap them up with love ❤️❤️❤️

Then I’ll ask the wind to carry them

To you in heaven above

I love and miss you more today than yesterday. I miss your love most of all

I miss you

February 16, 2019

I miss your voice
I miss your smile
I miss your smell
I miss your hugs
I miss your kisses
I miss your jokes
I miss how you made me feel
I miss your loving
I miss your everything

February 17, 2018

Here I am again honey, another anniversary alone, our 67th. Another lonely day without you. Missing you doesn’t get any easier, at least not yet. I searched for a poem that would tell you what I’m thinking about and came up with the following. Hope it tells you what I want it it too.

Dear Lord, if roses grow in heaven

Please pick a bunch for me

Place them in my Rich’s arms

And tell him they’re from me

Please tell him that I love him

And when he turns to smile

Please drop a kiss on his cheek

And hold him for awhile.

Because remembering him is easy

I do it every day

But there’s an ache within my heart

That will never go away.

Love you with all my heart , forever.

Jean
