Eleven years ago you left daddy and it hasn’t gotten any easier and never will. So many of the family is now gone, lost three this year including Orell. John and I are sticking together and he is a dear brother. We take care of each other just like you and mom would have wanted.
I love you daddy, and think of you every day

Happy Birthday in heaven daddy.  I took you some flies today. I miss you and mama so much but I know we will be reunited one day Love and miss you and mama so much.
Your daughter,
Lydia

10 years today you left us. So much has changed. I wish I could talk to you. You always was able to give me the right answers, you always was able to solve our problems when we came to you. I need you so much, especially during this very difficult time I am going through. I think about you and mama every day, all through the day.
One day we will be together again. I love you allo

Seven years has passed, seven long years since I saw you last, felt the touch of your hand, felt the love of a daddy and his daughter. How time passes, sometimes too slow and other times too fast.
I miss you more each day and need you so much. I need to hear your voice, to speak my name, I need to feel the touch of your hand in mine. I need you so much.
One day we will be together again. You, mama and me.
I love you daddy, you always gave me good advice, you were a very wise man.
Happy Birthday, Daddy.

Another year gone by without you and mama. Life goes on but my pain never stops. My heart is still breaking and will never heal.
A lot has changed since you and mama left, some good and some not so good. The best part is we now have a beautiful grandson who is7 and a half months. This would have been your great grandson. I will keep your memory alive for him. I will tell him stories about you and mama and show him lots of pictures. He will know you all.

I love you all and I grieve every day for both of you.

Happy 90th Birthday in heaven daddy. Wish we all could be together and one day we will. Tell mama I love her and miss her. I love you daddy. My life is forever changed since you and mama left.

Six years ago today you left John and I. We grieve each and everyday. Some days are harder especially holidays, birthdays and seeing something that reminds me of you. I need you every day no matter how old I become. I love you and I know you are in heaven with mama and other family members.

Happy Birthday in heaven, daddy. 
I miss you so much but I know I will see you and mama again one day.
John and I too you some pretty pink flowers to the cemetery, also took mama some.
I love you all so much.

Daddy, I miss you so much, a piece of my heart went with you the day you left. One day I will be with you. I Love You, Daddy

Your daughter,

Lydia
