Dad, today is the first time that I have had to strength to visit this site. I miss you so much every single day and struggle trying to believe that you are actually not with me. I try so hard to be strong as I know you would want me to, but it isn't always easy. I miss hearing you tell me "I'm Hungry". I remember how it drove me nuts at the time and I always said one day you will miss it. And guess what - I miss it soooooo much. I would do anything to spend one more day with you. I hope you heard all the conversations I had with you when you were sleeping. I hope you left this earth knowing how much I loved you and was so proud to have you as my dad. You were always my "Hero" and I knew you would always be there to protect me. Thank you so much dad for everything you did for me and all the lessons in life that you taught me. I was a "daddy's girl" and I always will be dad. No one will ever compare to you. I hope you are getting in your fishing time and driving around in a new truck :) One day we will meet again and I can go fishing with you. I love you daddy, and always know that you will be in my heart forever. Nothing can take that away from me. By for now. Love Debbie XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXXO

Sending my love from England. I'll never forget the hours we spent driving through the rockies with him and aunt lily singing silly songs to make me and Danielle laugh... aunt lily was singing patsy cline then adding little tiny pieces in silly voice in the middle of the song. I kept making her do it over and over. All the car was in hysterics.

Rip uncle John. Fly high. Love to you aunt Lily. X

I so wished to see you again granpa but i am so glad to have met you.

Take your time now and rest, fish and be young again, We will have time to talk later.

I will always remember you.

Ruhe in Frieden, Opa. Danke für all die Freude, die du bereitet hast.

Dad , I am so proud to have you as a father , we were reunited late in life , but the time we had together I value very highly.

You have always been a man you could trust. You taught me the basics of fly fishing and I have your fly fishing rod and gear on the wall at home so I can reminisce about our times.

I hope you know how much I love you, I was hoping that we would have more time together, but in time we will meet again and then we will go fishing. I hope you are well where you are , no pain just peace.

I love you Dad , Rest in peace

Papa, I am so glad that you and I were given the chance to have all those convos we had in the hospital. I got to relive them with you and laugh about them with you. There isn't a childhood memory I have that doesn't include you. You were the strongest, the bravest, the most stubborn and the most reliable man I have ever known. I was the luckiest to have you as my Grandpa. I will treasure our memories for the rest of my life.

I hope the rivers of Heaven are stocked full of fish, I hope they have your Corn Pops for breakfast, and I hope the Cheesey Noodles are just as good there as they are here. Most importantly, I hope you're at peace. I hope you're pain free, and I hope you know how much I love you. I miss you so much already. Please come visit- lots! I'll bring you everywhere with me in spirit. Rest in peace Papa.
