Happy Birthday papa, I love you so much I hope I'm making you proud, thank you for everything you taught me, for loving me and thank you for your service..I wish I knew back then just what it meant, how you went through unfathomable things for our freedom,
You loved all of us unconditionally, you're missed terribly and thought about daily.

Hi Dad,
Can't believe it's been 16 long years. Life has changed so much for us. Remember how you told mom, Andy n I that anything should happen to you that I was the oldest n most responsible that your arrairs n moms would be put in my name to keep up on it? And to share equally? Well guess who made sure to change that while mom was dieing and wasn't of right mind? Yup you guessed it. We love you n miss you all so much. I just want the old days back with everyone together again.
Love always your daughter Marie

I miss you so much dad! I wish you were still around. I dream about you almost every night! It's so hard not seeing or talking to you and though we didnt always get along. I meant to come see you at the hospital the day you died but it was too late, I am so sorry I am such a disappointment to you! I wish I could have been a better son, the one that you really deserved!
Love always,
Joe
