8 years have gone by and still this day hits me right between the eyes and forces me to truly acknowledge the hole in my heart that will never be filled. Thru the good and bad there was always love. It’s so hard to see our children’s hearts forever broken and missing you for all their special moments and every other ordinary moment in between. You are missed. Keep shining your light down on us.

It feels like a lifetime has passed in the last 5 years. We’ve had graduations, weddings, moves to new places, new jobs, vacations, birthdays, holidays and just a whole lot everyday things that all took place without you here but your spirit was felt every step of the way. I count on your angelic guidance and I know you walk alongside your family everyday. Alive in our hearts forever

It's hard to believe a year has passed without you. Some days the air just feels too heavy to breathe in. I hope that heaven if everything you dreamed it would be. I'm not sure what the future holds for me and it scares me a little but I am so grateful for our wonderful children and that I see a little bit you in each of them. I am hoping the days will get easier and God will show me my path.

Hey Dad,

It's been 4 months. It feels like forever that you have been gone, yet it feels like this all just happened yesterday. I wish you were just on a fishing trip and that you could come home. I remember when I was younger you left for a trip and I missed you a lot and when you came home I ran outside and gave you a huge hug. I still remember that hug dad. I would do anything to get that moment back. I know that you know I'm hurting down here. I miss you so much dad. I think about you everyday. There are so many things that remind me of you. Thank you for always loving me and being there for me. Keep watch over us dad, we need you still. I love you so much dad and I'll always be your sugarbear.

"Goodnight up there, I love you."

Happy father's day in heaven. Miss you so

Think of you everyday. You will never be forgotten. Love you

Dear Jill, Carly, Spencer & Sonia,

I was deeply saddened by the news about the death of Mike. I am so very sorry!! I know this is a very difficult time for all of you. Please remember that you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Mike was such a kind soul, who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I know how much you will miss Mike, but Jill you can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you and he had together. I know his love will get you through this difficult time. I would like to offer my help too. I know exactly what you are going through. If you need anything or just talk, I am just a phone call away. May God bless you and your family during this time and always. Jill & Carly this tribute is soooo very BEAUTIFUL!!!

Today marks our 21st Wedding Anniversary. I miss you so much. It was a rainy cloudy day like today. I remember you sending me little notes counting down the days til we were married. You always had a way of letting me know how much you loved me. It breaks my heart that our time got cut short. We were both each other's second chances. I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for our family and for loving me. "We did good, honey."
