Eight years later and it's still hard to believe that ur gone... not a single day goes by that I don't think of u. I miss u so much and I love u even more. always on my mind, forever in my heart!!!

happy birthday daddy!!! miss u so much and love u even more. wish i could see u but i feel u close by. always on my mind, forever in my heart!!!

it's hard to believe that u left us seven years ago today... i miss u so much and still find myself picking up the phone to call u and talk to u. i wish i could tell u that I love u in person but i'm sure u already know just how much.  i love u so much and miss u just the same.

On ur birthday, i think of all the good times u, mom, Kim, bren and myself all had together. it's hard to believe u'd be 72 today if God hadn't called u home.  wish we had one more birthday to spend with u, but then again i know we'd always want just one more. i'll always love u and i miss u more than words can describe. happy birthday daddy!!!

As Mom, Kimberly, Brenda and myself look back on our time with you, we realize that our time with you was short but every moment was special in its own way. You loved the 4 of us so much and you showed us that every day even as you got sicker and weaker. As you took your last breath, we felt a piece of us leave with you but we know you're still with each of us everyday. We love you!!!

It's Mom and Kim's favorite thing to call me little Vern because I remind them of you- I'm sure you get a laugh out of me driving Mom crazy. To this day, when she can't find something, she still says you moved it. I know you're still with us because on a windless day, the porch swing rocks back & forth. It's comforting to know you're in a place where you aren't in pain. We love & miss you!
