His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away -
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets -
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost -
and he was loved so much.

Hey Honey, thinking of you today and missing you more than words can say. Time has not lessen the pain any! I know I miss you as much today and the day you left. God has given me strength to get through these days but there is still a big void I can't fill without you. I still want YOU and not just memories. Know that I will always treasure what we had and I loved you MORE than anything. I don't see the point of my life without you. My life has stopped and I only want to be with you again.

It's been a long five months without you daddy. I miss you more and more every day. My life will never be same again. You are in my thoughts daily and ALWAYS in my heart. I love you Daddy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Well, its that day. I've been over and seen all the babies Christmas; like we always did. They all had a wonderful Christmas and Santa gave them way more stuff than they were good for.
Of course, everyone missed you but we know you had the best Christmas ever. You are still the light of our lives and will always be.

Guess who loves you the most! MYRT

Hello Darling, It's Christmas Eve. The kids have finally gone home and it is 11pm and needless to say I exhausted as usual. It was a nice Christmas, all the kids, spouses and grandkids were here. I even cooked the ham this year, it wasn't as good as yours but they scoffed it right up. Daniel got everything for Christmas; a Dale Ernhart hood, (which was his favorite), a neon Georgia sign, a deep frier for his hot wings and**don't faint**, but I got him another puppy, too. You were truly missed and we each lite a candle for you to show you that you are still the light of our life and just because your are gone, we won' t forget how bright that light has shown for all the years and we will continue to let it shine.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I love you, Honey.

Good Morning, my darling. Thanks for allowing me to wake you up so early to wish you Happy Anniversary(would have been 47 years today- man you hung in there a long time with me; for that I am very Thankful.) The special moments we spent together is always my best moments even at 5am. You know I love you and always will. My life is very sad with you gone but I wouldn't want you to suffer to be here with me; you did enough of that in the past. I look forward to the days when we might again celebrate our anniversary together. Save me a Dance! I LOVE YOU, MYRT

Hello Darling, just wanted you to know you have a new grandson. Brantley Ray born on 10-16-2013 - 6lbs 4 ounces - 19 inches. He is so cute. I know you would be so proud of him. I guess I'll have to spoil him both of us.

I miss you every day and I just want you to know that Daniel and I are ok. You are always in my heart. Myrt

I sure do miss you daddy. I think about you every day. I just feel so lost & empty without you. I know you are in a much better place & you're no longer suffering & I'm trying to find peace in that. I hope you're enjoying your time with Uncle Wayne & the rest of the family. I know they were glad to see you...cause you are everyone's favorite. :) I love you daddy!!!

Leo, u will always be missed. I loved having u for a uncle. You had someone very special in Peggy and u knew it. When my daddy died, u were the first one to my house, I'll never forget that. Easter at your home was very special each year, I don't know who enjoyed it more, u or the kids. RIP my special Uncle, til we meet again

You have always been here for my kids and me. You and Peggy mean the world to me and you always will. I promise I will be there for Peg and girls just as you were here for us. I love you so much and you will be missed......... But never forgotten. Godspeed Leo. You did a great job here on earth and now heaven seems brighter, because we KNOW you are there!

I am the luckiest girl in the world to have had you in my life. We have always had something special. As I've been told my eyes lit up whenever you were around, I hope you know how much I love and adore you. I hurt because my selfishness wasn't ready to let you go, I'm happy you are no longer suffering. Thank u to my aunt peggy, sarah &angel for sharing you with me. Always in my heart.
