Condolence: Happy Veterans Day Dad! πΊπΈ
I know how much you always appreciated it when people would tell you 'thank you for your service'. I don't think I ever said that to you, so...Thank you for your service, Dad! You're my hero!
I can't tell you how much I miss you. It doesn't get any easier. And the holidays are still tough, especially Christmas. I wish you were here so the girls could see the way we used to spend the holidays - and of course for me, too :)
I'm sure you keep and eye on Sam and his crew. Dea is such a good dog - you would love her! I think you'd really like Paola, too. I love you Dad! Don't forget me! We'll talk again soon!

Condolence: Hi Dad, I finally got on this page to write you. Its almost impossible to get to. Oh well, I'm here - right? I can't believe it's been seven years since you left us. I say 'left us' , maybe I should say 'taken from us'? I don't know...I think you were ready to go. You were pretty tired and you said before you wanted to go Home. I knew what you meant. I just still really miss you Dad. Do you remember when you used to lay on the couch (to watch tv) and you'd- close your eyes, lay your hands across your chest - then tell us you're practicing?! I used to get so mad and upset with you for doing that - but now I just kinda laugh to myself about it. What a weird memory, lol. You were a fun dad growing up. I wish I would of told you that - and how much I really did admire you. You could do anything - a jack-of-all-trades! You were my hero - you always will be Dad. I love you! We both know I talk to you alot, so if I'm late writing you or getting to the cemetery, don't think I forgot you - because I never do. ok? I'm going to go for now, but I'll be talking you and I'll visit tomorrow at the cemetery. I miss you and I love you Dad! -tammy

Condolence: Hi Dad, just me again. Wow, it has been 6 years ago this morning since you moved on to Heaven. It doesn't seem real, I can still see you in your chair and hear you as I walk in your front door. I hope I never forget that. I wish you were here with us, but at the same time, I think had you been, you would've caught covid and that wouldv'e been really horrible. we would not have been with you on your last days here. I hope your'e doing great and visiting all those we've lost. We all miss you so much! I love you Dad, please don't forget me!

Condolence: Happy Birthday Dad! I sure wish you were here to celebrate it with us! I miss you so much. I still expect to see you in your chair some days. Thanks Dad for sending me little signs once in a while to let me know you're looking out for me. Its usually right when I need it!
I'll save you a piece of cake today, although I'm sure you are celebrating in heaven today. I love you Dad! -tammy

Condolence: Hey Dad,I have really missed writing to you! They've changed the way for me to do this, but I think/hope I found a way in. I missed out on everything since probably my birthday :( Your birthday is coming up and I want to let you know that I'm not going to be able to be at the cemetery that day with you. I'm going in for back surgery on Thursday and I won't be able to drive yet by Sunday. But I will stop out Wednesday to celebrate it with you. Other than my back, and not being able to get around very good, I'm ok. I still miss you so much and wish you were here. I took mom to the ear specialist yesterday and the ambulance brought a guy in on a stretcher. So anyway, I was holding the door for them and the guy looked at me and said 'thank you ma'am', like you would say to people. I went back in the office and started to cry. He just reminded me of you. It was nice, but sad at the same time. Sam is doing good - I know he talks to you a lot so you know how he is. He's teaching Kindergarten, still down by Nashville. Danica and Leila are getting so big. Leila is in kindergarten and Dani 3rd grade! Leila, as you know, cries and speaks of you often. She has a special bond with you! We all love you so much and miss you Dad! I hope you get this message. I really have missed being able to write and I'm sorry I missed Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years...but maybe now I will be able to get thru. I love you and will talk to you soon! I hope you have a wonderful Happy Birthday up there!! love, tammy

Condolence: Hi Dad, I wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you on this Veterans Day. I've been watching Vietnam in HD on the History Channel since 8 p.m., its now 2;45 a.m., so I've had it on for a while. I keep hoping to catch a glimpse of Pete , but no luck so far. I'm so glad you got out of that war when you did. You suffered enough from the effects of it.I miss you Dad - so much. I still have lot of bad days. They still have the cemetery locked at dusk, so I can't get in to watch the meteor showers with you, and I've had a horrible time trying to even write you on this. Also, your things keep getting taken from someone at the cemetery. I have an idea who, and I know you know who it is, too. I need your help, give me some signs on what to do. The roof seems to be leaking, so apparently I need it fixed. I also need to get a furnace in this house. The heat pump doesn't keep the house warm, and I'm getting too old to set up heaters everynight all winter, I have a couple people coming to get me prices, but I need to be smart about it so send me a sign of what to do when they're here please. If you were here you could fix it all or walk me thru it - like old times, right? I really wish you were. Make sure you tell all the Veterans we appreciate all they've done for us! You're my hero Dad! I love you! I miss you and wish you were here. Happy Veterans Day Dad!

Condolence: Dad, today was your anniversary - 57 is it? - for you and Mom. I can never be sure of how many years. We did our family trip. The weather was kind of crappy, so you wouldn't have enjoyed riding around in the rain too much in your wheelchair each day. But I sure miss not having you with us - no matter where we are. I even miss you yelling at me for being so hard on the brakes when I'm driving, haha. And I wanted to tell you happy belated Father's Day. It was on Sunday and this is Tuesday night. I didn't forget you, I thought about you all day. I love you Dad. I hope you had a really good day up there with everyone. I'll be talking to you soon. I miss you! -love always, tammy

Condolence: Hi Dad,
Well, today makes 3 years since you left us for Heaven. It has been a long, uneasy week, replaying every minute of your last few days I had with you. Theres still so much I never got to say when you were here. I know we talk a lot still, but its not the same :(
Sam is graduating Saturday - I know you are looking down at him and are so proud of him. I sure am! He misses you like crazy, like I do!
We all sent you up some balloons today to make sure you know we are thinking about you. I hope you liked them. I really do miss you and love you so much Dad. Please don't forget that, and don't forget me. I'll talk to you soon! I love you Dad!!

Condolence: Hi Dad, Happy Birthday! I'm not really late you know :) We were out to visit yesterday - I even brought you some cake and left for you. I just had a hard time trying to figure out how to find this page. Besides wishing you a happy birthday up there in heaven, I want to let you know I still miss you so much. I think about you so many times throughout the day, and try to use your philosophies or creative ways to solve my problems. It still seems like you were just here. The girls miss you too. Its funny, Leila remembers all those mornings and afternoons with you and talks a lot about you. We all miss and love you more than words could say, Dad. I hope you had a wonderful party and you danced and danced - and had lots of cake and ice cream!!! I'll see you later Dad! I love you!!
