You will be greatly missed dad. I already miss your jokes, hearing your laughter and seeing your smile. I love you so very much and will be forever greatful to have had you in my life. Thanks for the good times. Love, your daughter-in-law
I just wanted to let you all know that my prayer's are with you. One thing I have to say is that he was a graet guy when I was in the foster care home he always was there to lend a helping hand with a warm smile.
Our prayers are with each of you. God Bless your family!
Joyce, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Although me and dad never quite saw eye to eye, I have never had an ill will toward you. I have nothing but respect for you and am glad that dad had so many people who cared for him. I hope all goes well for you in the future and if there is ever anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask. All of my best to you, Jim.
