Paw paw

I’ve missed you plenty. Looking back down memory lane, I’ve always been curious as to how you’d do it like it was nothing to it. You’re the sunshine in rain for so many more outside of us. For a while I couldn’t find the courage to be in this moment with you and the family again. I hope to find the habit of recreating the safe haven you have for us all whenever we needed & or wanted. I would like to thank you for believing in me. Can’t wait until the reunion. Listening to you tell me about the days you’ve had to watch from the sky. Yelling at the top of your voice at us and we couldn’t hear you as clear as we’d like. That’s who you have always been for me and so many more. The one who refused to leave me hanging.
I love you. Always thinking of you.

Love your first born grandson,

Plenty days have passed since the day you went away to a better place. I know you have been here in spirit, but the feeling just isn't the same. Sitting in your room on the internet in search of direction for the next step in my life and out of nowhere you show up. Unique how these things tend to happen over the years. If I could only hear your thoughts on the growth of our family that would be the most soothing. You are a great deal of my motivation today. I fight, love, cry, father, and provide all on the account of you. I know that I can't fill your shoes, but I do put forth plenty of effort to get things done the way you would. If I could just hear you tell me that you're nothing less than proud... You have done enough for me for two lifetimes and I am more than thankful for all you have done. Though your physical presence has been taken away, you are still my rock and reason today. I can't forget what I keep with me. I will continue to be an extension of your love. You are appreciated paw-paw. May God mend the hearts left broken.

Tears........still seems like yesterday. So missing your voice, your smile, your great personality. Daddy I love you.

"I so so SO wish you were somewhere hiding & jumped out to say "APRIL FOOLS".
:-) Miss you much & love you more!

Gone too soon...but...NEVER forgotten. I love you, Daddy."

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed.
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

We continue to love & miss you, Daddy

Our father kept a garden
A garden of the heart
He planted all good things
That gave our lives a start

He turned us to the sunshine
And encouraged us to dream
The seeds of what we'll be

We are our father's garden
We are his legacy

March 31, 2014

Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.

March 31, 2014

DADDY...
We'll always remember
that special smile,
that caring heart,
that warm embrace,
you always gave us.
You being there
for Mom and us
through good and bad times,
no matter what.
We'll always remember
you Dad because
they'll never be another one
to replace you in our hearts,
and the love we will always
have for you.

February 14, 2014

Today we celebrate you. I just want to say Happy Birthday to you! Your presence is truly missed but we keep you in our hearts.....WE LOVE YOU!

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...it "seems" ALL I can do is sit here, look at your smiling face, smile back, with tears, SPEACHLESS! I can't say it enough....I LOVE & MISS YOU, so much!!! As much as I do, I would never ever want you to come back to this hurtful place. You are where I want to be someday. :) We're gonna be fine, just bumps in the road at times. Love you, love you!

April 1, 2013

Two years today since you've been gone and it seems like it was only yesterday. When you left, a part of my heart went with you. You always gave the right advice and always said the right things. Oh how we need you right now. Momma truly miss her Honey and she still calls you. We all miss you!! We love you Bo!!!

February 14, 2013

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAPPY VALENTINES DAY DADDY. I LOVE AND MISS YOU GREATLY!!!!!

February 14, 2013

Please. God, forgive a silent tear
A fervent wish our Dad was here
There are others, yes we know
But he was ours and we loved him so.
Dear God, please take a message
To our Father in Heaven above
Tell him how much we miss him
And give him all our love.

February 14, 2013

What we'd give if we could say
Hello, Dad, in the same old way
To hear your voice and see your smile
To sit with you and chat a while.
So if you have a father
Cherish him with care
For you'll never know the heartache
Till you see his vacant chair.

February 14, 2013

A light from our family is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in the home, which never can be filled. We have to mourn the lost of one we would've loved to keep, but God who surely loved him best finally made him sleep. After a lifetime of his love and joy, God leaves these wonderful memories to help us through our tears. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BO! We love you and we miss you!

July 31, 2012

Hey Daddy. I just had to stop by today. Missing you tremendously!!! Oh how I wish you were somewhere around a corner waiting to jump out and say "Ah Ha...April Fool, I fooled all of yall, didn't I?!!!" It would be a horrible joke, but I would be so glad to have you back that the joke wouldn't matter. I love you so.

June 18, 2012

Happy Father's Day Bo....we miss you!!!! You're gone but you remain in our hearts forever. I love you!!!

April 1, 2012

Mom misses you so much. She tried on some clothes that I bought her for her birthday and she said my "Honey" would love this wouldn't he. I said yes he would. You will forever be apart of us. I love you so much Bo. Muah! Until next time.

April 1, 2012

I can't believe that it has been 1 year since you've been gone. It feels like it was yesterday. I think about you all the time and I miss you so much. Mom had lost so much weight and I know it was because of her grieving. You know how stubborn she is and when you ask her how's she feeling, she just says: "I'm alright." She's eating again now and has put on a few pounds. I was so
worried

February 14, 2012

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

"We little knew that morning that God was going 2 call Ur name. In life we loved U dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts 2 lose U, U did't go alone; for part of us went w U the day God called U home. U left us peaceful memories, ur love is still our guide, & though we cannot see U, Ur always by our side."

February 14, 2012

Our family chain is broken & nothing seems the same, but as God calls us 1 by 1, the chain will link again.

Hey Daddy. I miss you. Been really hot here, glad you're not here to experience it. A couple of times driving home from work, my thoughts were to stop by the house to visit, then I remembered you're gone to a better home. I love you SO much.

August 15, 2011

Looking forward to seeing you and your loving smile again. :)) It is so hard withOUT you! :(

I always considered you one of my very best friends as well as brother in life. You taught me a lot when I worked at the Wills Point Chronicle in the 70's. Plus you gave me a lot of good advice in life. I love you. See you in Heaven my friend..

June 20, 2011

Hey Daddy. Just want you to know we missed you on yesterday. We had a wonderful time in your honor. All of your kids were together, chatting about you, as well as others in the community. I know you were looking down on us. We love you.

June 17, 2011

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY.

June 16, 2011

I'm missing you so much, Daddy!!! This journey withOUT you is lonely, rough. I can't hear your voice, or see your smile. It's been a lil over 2 months, but, seems like forever. I love you. Shannon

May 24, 2011

I miss you so much, Daddy!! I come here everyday & look/stare @ you...wishing & hoping that I could say something 2 U & U would say something back. I miss our trips 2gether to & from the Doctors offices or just sitting at the house with U.

May 3, 2011

Wow, time flies. You've been gone a month now. Seems like only yesterday. Daddy I sure miss you, there are SO many things I want to talk to you about. On my drive home from work, I'll say "I'm going by to check on Daddy", then reality hits!

April 25, 2011

"Daddy we kept the tradition going-we (ALL of us) had a gr8 dinner @ the house Sunday (Easter 2011). Even though ur body wasn't there, I felt ur spirit. We miss U so, so much. Just not the same, but, I can hear U sayN "Stop crying, it ok"

April 24, 2011

WHEN GOD MADE UNCLE BO HE MADE HIM WITH A GIVING, LOVING AND CARING HEART. HE WILL FOREVER BE MISSED, HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS! HE IS TRUELY IN GODS CARE!

April 22, 2011

My eyes may be smiling, but deep inside I'm crying,
if only I could have let you know how much I love you so. You were the dad I never had & to see you go makes me sad. I saw the vision of you the other night & I know that you are watching over me.

April 21, 2011

So many happy memories, so many loving thoughts...these and the comfort from God's Word will fill the void left when you went to Glory. I love and miss you much, Uncle Bo.

April 20, 2011

A heart of gold stopped beating, working hands were put to rest, God broke our heart to prove to us He only takes the best.

April 20, 2011

The Golden Gates Stood Open God saw you needed rest. His garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best." Rest In Peace Daddy, I love & miss you so, so much. Shannon

Really wish you were here just to say everything is going to be okay. Miss you more today than ever.

Daddy

February 14, 2013

A special dad is hard to find,
You dad I'm keeping in my mind,
I wished you could have stayed forever,
But I will never forget you oh not ever.

If dreams weren't dreams and dreams came true,
I wouldn't be here I'd be with you.
Distance is one thing that keeps us apart,
But dad you will always remain in my heart.

A special smile, a special face, a special someone I can't replace,
I love you and I always will,
You filled a space that no one will ever replace.

Broken Chain

June 28, 2011

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

I love and miss you so much, Daddy! :)

I'm Free...

June 28, 2011

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. If my parting has left a void; then fill it with remembered joy. My life’s been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free.
