    Dad,
    Hard to believe you are gone so soon. We are relieved that you are in a better place pain free and walking around. We promised you that we will take great care of mom the way you took care of all of us. You raised us into the person each one of us has become and we hope we all made you proud. Although this last week or so was difficult seeing you not getting around it was my honor to take the best care of you I knew how and to hold your hand as you took your last breath. I will miss are daily phone calls. I will think of all the great memories. Good bye for now you were my best friend until we meet again. Love You, Erik

    To My siblings thank you for your love and support to each other. Dad had us all at home like he wished for !!

    Thinking and praying for you Aunt Jackie and the cousins as well!
    I will always remember spending time with Uncle Tom at the cleaners down when he was cleaning cloths down stairs. And his sense of humor always made me laugh. RIP Love you Uncle Tom and see you on the other side one day. I have some pretty great men watching over me! 🙂

    Tammy, I’m so sorry about your dad. I saw him sitting outside only once after running into you at the house in October. He was always so full of life whether on Randy Road, at the cleaners or in the Sheriff’s office. We’ll all miss him!
