Some of the little things that we do in life comes from you and mom teachings. Sometimes we do something that we just have to stop and smile and know that it was you that taught me how to be a man, put on the tough skin, be brave, and always do the right thing. I shall pass that down to my children and your grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sometimes I look up and know that you both are looking down upon us kids and I hope that we are making you proud. RIP to the both of you, we have it now.

Hey dad, I have always wanted to tell you and mom that I have always appreciated the fact that you and mom opened your home and family to three more children. When Evaleena passed away, you and mom adopted us and gave us your name as you claimed us as your own. We love you both for that and always will. I would not be the man I am today if it were not for your guidance and the love you both shown to me. I look up at the heavens above and thank God for you and mom. I know that one day we will all be fishing again and next time duck to miss the cork that hit you in the forehead. We all miss you and mom as we will cherish all the good times that we had on the farm and life in general. ❤️ you both.

Hey Dad it's your oldest here Wayne. I can't believe it's been this long since God called you home for eternity.. I think of you everyday and miss you beyond words. Even though I'm 64 years old myself I need my dad to talk to and go visit.. I know one day we will be reunited with everyone. I have my favorite picture of us the day we caught all them big specks out at the lake. Such a great day it was with my dad. So many memories I have of us dad when we was living on the hog farm . You are always in my heart mind and soul. I miss you and love you Dad.. I will see you later dad..❤️

Still think about you daily, each time I tinker with my car or your truck I wish I could talk to you about it. Get your advice and bounce ideas back and forth. It's hard when your so used to being able to talk about all the little things in life and then you can't. I miss you bringing the kids M&M's and having you over for BBQ. Even though we all have our own families now it's kind of hard to explain the emptiness that's always there now that you and mom are both gone. I love you both.
