I still miss u. My heart still hurts 4 u. And I will ALWAYS LOVE U. Rest peacefully Daddy til we meet again. Love n miss u

I really regret not staying in contact with the family , but All I know is if my car needed worked on you were right there to fix it, I didn't get a chance to really tell you how much I appreciated everything, you taught brad well, tell my dad I love him so much and until we meet again, all of us

Happy birthday Daddy. I miss u so much. I wish u were here. I dream about u every night. I miss our arguments. U have been missed tremendously. Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries. Soon pooh bear will b graduating. Her sweet 16 is this July. I kno its hard 2 believe. I look at photos of u n her n just cry. She doesn't remember so i tell her stories. I just want her 2 remember u. She meant so much 2 u. She was ur pooh bear. We all wish u a happy birthday Dad. I love u so much. I will never forget or let u go. Ill love n miss u til my time comes. Then u better b the 1st face i see. Happy birthday.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Honey! I think about you everyday. If you were here we would be going out to dinner and then back home for cake! Don't know if I could get 89 candles on it, i would try! I love you and miss you so much.  I lay awake at night thinking about you and all the good times we had with the kids as they grew up. Lots of memories. You were always there when any of us needed anything.  Thank you honey for being the man you were . We all love you. You have Brad with you now, one day the people who did this to him will pay.  They will have to face Jesus. I won't feel bad for them. They killed our son. Please know how much you were and are loved. Happy Birthday Joe!! ❤

It's 9 years today that you left us.  We miss you and love you so much. I'm glad that you and I settled things between us before you went to be with Jesus and his Angels. No one knows what it was all about, it is how you said; no one's business. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I know I will see you one day soon. That's when I'll be truly happy. You are always in my heart! I love you Joe!

My memories of u will always be in my heart. I love u Daddy. We r only separated by death n its only temporary. I will see u again.

Its your birthday today. You would be 88 today. I miss you so much. Its rained all day. Thats how i feel. No one can tell if your crying when its raining. Every year gets harder. I love you Daddy. Ill never leave you.

I miss u now more than ever. I know things would be so much different if u were here. U always knew what 2 do. I miss u. I want 2 give u a big hug. I have no1 2 hug now. I got no1 2 say Daddy loves u. I want 2 hold your hand again. I remember your hands. Always so strong. You had strong big hands. I love you Dad. U r still my hero, My Superman. Give Brad a hug 4 me n tell him i love n miss him. I know hes with u. When mybtime comes u better b the 1 2 come get me. I hope u r the 1st face i c. Love u Dad.

Well Joe it's 8 years today that you went to be with Jesus. I know you are not sick or hurting any more. That's the only thing that makes any sense of this. I wish I could see you, talk to you. I miss hearing your voice. I miss you and Brad so much. I don't feel like a whole person. I feel empty inside and I feel like I really don't care what happens. I get up in the morning, come and sit on the couch, that's it. It should not be like that. But I'm by myself most of the time. When Jolene and Angelina are down here, so are all the dogs. I'm not blaming anyone. It's just hard to get around with 4 dogs. I have to get out of this depression but I don't know how. I think about you and Brad every day. I love and miss you so very much. Give our son a hug for me. I hope when it's my time, I'll be able to be up there with you and Brad. I love you!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy. I love u so so much my heart physically hurts. I wish u were here so we could celebrate. I kno how much u like cake especially with ur tea. Im so sorry i wasnt there with u. I miss u so much. I still cry every night 4 u. I dont care wat ppl think or say. I will never forget u. Ur always in my memory. Happy 87th Dad.

It's your 87th birthday today. I know it will be a great day!! I love you and miss you so much. I don't need to say what's going on down here, I'm sure you all ready know. We all love you and miss you more than anyone could ever know. Jolene, Angelina, Chuck and myself wish you happy birthday!! Wish you were here.

2day it's been a year since u n Brad were reunited. I know ur taking great care of him. I kno God is taking care of all of u. Can't wait 2 c u all again. Angelina missed u both n still cries 4 u. It's getting harder I just feel numb. Stay 2gether n know I love u all.

It's 7 years today since you left us. Jolene, Chuck, Angelina and myself miss you so very much. Brad is in heaven with you. I still can't believe either one of you are gone. Joe, I'm so glad we had a chance to talk and forgive each other. I just wish it was a lot sooner. Just know I love and miss you so much. Until the day we see each other again, you are always in my heart and my thoughts. I LOVE YOU!

Dear Daddy its your little girl I hope u can hear me. I know you and Brad are up there fixing things. Take a break for a moment so I can tell you how much I love you and how much you are missed. There will always be that hole in my heart that no man can ever fill. No man in my eyes will ever measure up to you. This time of year is always the hardest for me. The day the worst day of my life keeps replaying in my mind and in my heart. You are so deeply deeply loved. I know you and Brad are in Gods hands dwelling in the house of the Lord. My heart is hurting. I will suffer this pain and grief til I see you again. If Im going that way. I love you Dad.
Love You Always,
Daddy's little girl

Hi honey, i just wrote to Brad. I know you're looking after him like you did when you were alive. I just wish you were here with us. I know Jolene and Chuck doesn't trust me. There's nothing I can do, to make it better. I wish I could talk to you. At least I know you forgive me. I always loved you and always will. Missing you my love.

Hi honey, my heart is broken more. Brad passed away on May 6th. You know that all ready. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that his demons are gone now. He is in heaven with you and his grandfather's and uncles. I know in my mind, heart and soul that he is where God wants him to be. I wasn't ready to let him go though. I'm supposed to go before any of my kids. My soul and heart hurts so much. I love you and our son. Always have and always will.
I miss you both. Always in my heart.

Well daddy its been a while but my love n hurt have not changed. I kno u already kno but ur 1st son is now in heaven. I kno hes in the arms of Jesus Christ. I kno u will keep him near 2 u n take care of him as u did in life. I kno ur heart hurts as does mine. He had such a good heart. I miss u both Daddy. I love u both.

Looks like every1 has forgotten. I havent and never will. I love u always.

Its me Daddy on your birthday. I love you and wish you were here to celebrate. Life is so much harder without you. Time heals nothing. Time prolongs the agony. Happy birthday Dad I hope youre happy and loved up there as well.

Dear Daddy I miss u more than you will ever know. I know you are my guardian angel as you were in life. Rest with the angels. I love you so much. It does not get easier. It's only gotten harder for me. I think about you every minute of every day. Please know I miss you and love you. You're still a big part of my life and always will be.

Last Monday was your pooh-bears 11th birthday. We did the cook out on Wednesday so Chuck could be there. She is getting so big! She's becoming a young Lady. She is so beautiful; but sometimes she has a temper. You spoiled her rotten! She knows you are with her all the time; but especially special occasions. She talks about you all the time. So I know she will never forget you.

Joe; I miss you more and more everyday. Maybe soon I'll be there to see you. No matter how much I try to get a better relationship with our daughter; it seems she doesn't want it. I try. I want you to know I think about you everday. I love you now; always; and forever. I'm so glad we talked about things before you left. At least I know you forgave me. I love you with all my heart.

It's been like yesterday that u left me. I'm not doing so good without u. I need your wisdom n guidance n always your strength n love. You were always so strong. I always knew I had nothing 2 worry about if u were around. You also had the strength 2 fight thru anything. You beat cancer twice went thru countless surgeries n medical procedures. I wish I could b Half as good of a person as u were Half your strength. I wish I could somehow make u proud. I love u Dad from your only daddy's girl. Love n miss u so very much.
