9 years…how I miss you daddy. I remember everything about those weeks you were in the hospital: how you made me laugh, the sound of your voice, talking or singing. Looking into your beautiful blue eyes when you closed them forever is something etched into my heart forever. Part of me went with you; how I wish you and mommy could come back and put me and our family back together.
Rest with the angels my beloved father.

Dear Daddy
Happy 100th birthday. There is a hole in my heart that won’t heal because I miss you so much. I know you are at peace and with mommy and your beloved mother, father and siblings. Rest among the angels my dearest father. I love you.

Eight years…I don’t know how I’ve made it this long without you because I miss you so much and the hole in my heart will not heal. Life changed when we lost mommy and you helped me adjust to the new normal but there is no one now that you are gone. Rest with the angels my beloved father.

Dear Daddy,
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you, I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up, never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark, shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies, you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
I'm everything I am because you loved me
I miss you so much

Happy birthday Daddy.
I love and miss you so very much.
Each day brings me one day closer to seeing you and mommy again. I’m looking forward to that.
Praying you are resting in peace ❤️

Dear Daddy
Another year has passed since you left. How I miss you. It doesn’t get easier but I know that with each day that passes I am one day closer to being with you and mommy.
Rest gently my beloved father.
I love you ❤️

Merry Christmas my beloved father. How I wish I could talk to you for just 5 minutes. I know you would have the wisdom to guide me through this difficult time.
I love you so much and miss you more than you could ever know. Rest with the angels daddy.

Happy 97th birthday Daddy...you are here in my heart and there are no words to tell you how much I miss you. I know you are at peace and with the angels in your heavenly home.
Always your little girl...Charlotte

My dear father,
You left five years ago. In some ways it feels like it’s been so much longer than that and in others I feel like it was just a few minutes ago. I relive those days you were in the hospital in my mind over and over, wishing I could have done something more, something different to keep you here with me. So much has changed since you went home to our Lord. You would be so proud of all the kids and all of their accomplishments. Your great-grandchildren remember you because of the girls.
There are no words to tell you how much you are missed. You know how much I love you and I am trying to to be the person you always wanted me to be. I have found great comfort in prayer and the faith you and mommy shared with me.
I’m looking forward to being reunited with you and mommy and Carl one day.
Love you always

Happy birthday my beloved father. I know you are with me because I feel your presence all the time. I wish I could hold your hand and talk a walk with you. My heart aches for you every single day. I look forward to the day me, you and mommy are reunited.
Loving you always and missing you forever ❤️❤️

Dear Daddy
If I could have a wish come true, I’d ask to spend a day with you. I’d hold your hand and we would laugh and smile again. We would talk about big things and small and you would tell me to ‘let it go’ if something was upsetting me.
It’s so hard waiting to see you again. I would trade all of my tomorrows for one yesterday with you.
My only source of comfort is knowing you are happy and you and mommy and Bella are together.

Happy birthday Daddy...my heart aches more with each passing day. It aches to hear your voice and to see your smile, to answer the phone and hear you say ‘how is my darling daughter today’. Your wisdom is irreplaceable and your kindness unmatched. I miss you beyond words and I love you with all my heart.

Happy birthday Daddy. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. I am missing you more each day and the ache in my heart won’t go away. I miss hearing your voice, holding your hand and looking into your beautiful blue eyes. There are so many things I need to talk to you about...I need your guidance and wisdom every day. I
am only comforted because I am sure you are in heaven among the angels and with our Lord, mommy and your family members who went before you and whom you loved so much.
Forever your little girl

Dear Daddy,
Two years ago you went 'home' and a part of me went with you. There is an emptiness in my life that is indescribable and a hole in my heart that will not heal. There isn't a single day that I don't think about you and mommy. How I wish I could pick up the phone and hear you say 'hello my darling daughter, how are you today?'. I love you with all my heart....your little girl

Happy birthday daddy. You are always on my mind and forever in my heart. There are no words to tell you how much I miss you. I feel your presence and know you are always beside me. I remember all the things you taught me and reflect on the advice you gave me every day. Kiss mommy for me.

Daddy it's been a year since you've been gone. You have left me so many signs to let me know you are with me. I miss you more with each passing day and know you are at peace and happy with your parents, mommy and all of your siblings.
