I can't believe its been 4 years either. I know how much you miss your dad. I miss my pop an awful lot too. A positive through this is that your family and my family reconnected after so many years. I believe they would look down on that with big smile and a hearty laugh. They are busy talking and catching up. My face cracks a smile just imagining what they are talking about!

It's been 4 years already! I can't believe we've made it this far without you being here to share all of the good times. I feel you every day and miss you SO much. You would have liked our get together at Cara's the other day to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Maddie was looking at our wedding album and thought both George and I looked "weird!" When she saw your picture she asked who you were. Cara said that's G-Pop. Do you remember him? She shook her head yes. I didn't think of it at the time but there's no way she could have remembered you... she was in Amy's belly when you passed. George and I have been getting a laugh over that all week. Wish you were here. Love you dad.

My dad's been gone for three years now but I can still hear his voice and see his smile, especially when I'm working in my garden. He taught me how to plant and then watch things grow and to share that abundance with the people around me. Every time I trim the "suckers" off of a tomato plant I hear him encouraging me and nodding to let me know I'm doing it right. I miss hugging him and talking to him but I always carry him with me wherever I go. He is such a big part of me. I look forward to being with him again in the next life. Love you Dad, always.

Even though I did not know Mr. Perch for that long I did have the pleasure of getting to know him a little more each week when I saw him. What will always stay with me is even when he was sick and in pain he always had a smile on his face and something funny (usually sarcastic) to say to the nurses who took care of him. He was a good person and will be missed by many. Hugs to the family.

I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Ernie. I will always remember the times you all came to visit. It was always a big deal in our family. We always had so much fun when our families got together. The bbq's, picnics, and trips to the lake were some of the best times we ever had. Sometimes I would just hang around and listen to dad, uncle ernie, uncle ray, and uncle frank tell stories and I would laugh till my sides hurt. Boy could those guys put away the chinina! I am so sorry we lost touch over the years. I just want you to know that I love you all and Lisa is right, there is a very happy reunion going on. Love you guys.

What I remember most about Uncle Ernie was his broad smile, and his laugh--and he didn't just smile and laugh with his mouth, but also with his eyes, and I loved that!! Gosh, it's probably been 25+ years since I've seen any of you, but when we were young, I remember talking about our relatives with "the accent" LOL!!! I am sure he, mom and dad, Aunt Dody, Barbara, Grandma Sophie,and Grandpa are whooping it up in Heaven! :-) Aunt Ann, Mark, Lynne, and families, may your memories bring you joy, comfort, and peace...
I love you all ( even the ones I haven't met!)

Much love from Missouri,

Dear Families,
I've been reading this everyday and each time I marvel at something different. Today the pictures just really have special meaning for me. I love looking at them and remembering the laughter,the "good times",the progression of life by all and the smiles. Love you all so much.

Dear Lynne - It is heart-warming to read about your Dad. He did the Dad things well. Really well. No wonder you love him!

So wonderful to read this beautiful tribute to your father. I have many happy memories of time spent with your family. Love to all.

Dear Ann and Families,
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person! I will write more later when I share this with all the others. Much love to you all.

What a great story about your mom and dad. What beautiful memories.

Dear Lynne, 
I did not know your Dad and your extended family, but, through your wonderful tribute, I feel like I have a beautiful glimpse into the life of this special man and your family too.  Simply beautiful.  ((Hugs and prayers for your family to find peace and comfort in the memories and legacy left behind))
