Hi Dad. It's Christmas again without you and our family. I hope all of you had a blessed day. We surely missed you. Everytime i took a bite of cholate pie i smiled. I know how much you liked your pie. I can remember buying you a couple flannels. You said they were too big. I did get you a red one that you loved and wore all the time. And a light jacket i got you. You seemed to really like them. That made me feel good. All i have is memories now and i grateful for those. You will always be missed no matter what day it is. It's harder though on Christmas when everyone is with their families. I had plenty years going to our aunt's for the holidays. That was the best. Now your all in my heart. And hoping your all together. Stay around my angel. Love you Dad..

I can't believe it's been 5 years. Time is flying by. I never will forget what a great Dad i had. He will always be in my heart. I have memories of him to last a life time. Just wish we could of had more time together. In my heart i know he is at peace but it still hurts not to have him with us. As the holidays come and go he is missed even more. My Dad will celebrate with his family in heaven. And that is alittle bit comforting. He loved his family and loved to be around them. As we all did him. I hope my angels have the best Christmas ever. I love you Dad.. Merry Christmas in heaven.

My Dad was a good person all around. Would try so hard to see the good in people. And help if he could. We lost a good man 5 years ago. All i can think of is he was needed somewhere else more than here. He will do good things no matter where he is. I know he visits when he can. Sure would of been nice to have him around for a bit. Dad you are very missed and always will be. Keep doing what you always have. Your #1 to me. I LOVE YOU DAD..

Wow, time sure flies Pops. Another Christmas has come an gone. we had a nice time and got together who we could and enjoyed the family, food and gifts. The smiles, laughs and wise cracks. It sure isn't the same however I suppose that is how it evolves. You enjoy the here and now and hold on dearly to all of your memories. I was going to get Maria a box of chocolate pop tarts, thought it might be funny however decided against it, that was your special thing. I am confident that you and all the family and friends had a joyous celebration in heaven. Love and miss you and any help is always appreciated.

Dad you are missed every day but especially during the holiday season. You should be happy to know I nailed the stuffing this year and that makes me feel good to keep that tradition alive. You would have enjoyed all the good food and of course the chocolate pudding pie. We all miss you and appreciate you continuing to look out for us. Hope you had a special Thanksgiving in heaven.

Dad. You came to me in a dream today. You were smiling at me. You didn't speek. It startled me cause you seemed to be so real. You seemed happy not upset. I hope you understand why we are selling the house you left for us. I think that is why you came to me. To let me know it's okay. I hope you know how we have tried to keep things going but it just didn't work out. I thank you for all you have done and still do. I know you are still looking out for us snd that makes me happy. I know what you told me about the house and we all decided to sell it. I know you worked hard all your life to give us a good childhood and most of it was good. I just can't worry anymore it's starting to affect my health. I wish i could of told you how much you ment to me as my dad. Our last words were the best. You said you loved me and i told you i love you too. And than you were gone. You didn't say that to often to me and i didn't say it enough to you. But just know i have always loved you and am proud to be your daughter. I will always be greatful for you doing all the things you did. Even if i didn't agree. I understand why and i will always love you. Feel free to visit me in my dreams i look forward to it. I love you dad.

My Dad had the greatest recipe for barbecued steak. You take the toughest steak. Marinate it in stewed tomatoes with fresh mint for 2 hours. Than put it on the grill. Get a small basting mop and mop mop mop with the marinate. It is the most tender and tasty meat you will ever have. Don't over cook it he would say. You have to keep an eye on it. Good stuff. I will never forget that recipe.
