Its me again...I thought I would say g'night and light a candle for ya.  Me and patty are going over there to get your flowers and angel for christmas tomorrow.  We're going to go ahead and put it on the grave for ya. Dad, I miss you so much.  The home care nurse is coming out to see mom again.  Then that way she dont have to get out in the cold to go get her blood work done.  Which is much better for mom.  Shes doing pretty good dad.  She still gets stubborn sometimes but other than that shes doing pretty good.  When the nurse came out she said all of moms vital signs and all checked out excellent...I dont want mom to give up dad...i know she misses you with all her heart and i know its hard on her...but she just can't give up like that and thats the reason i try to work with her like i do ..I dunno dad...i wish you were here with us i miss you so much ...i'm hoping you come visit me in my dreams again like you did in the past ...i really enjoy seeing you thats the only way i can until i get to heaven...Well dad i guess im going to go but i'll talk to you more later...until i do im missing and loving you with all my heart ...
G'night dad i love ya
Love always

Happy Birthday Grandpa..I Miss and Love you very much!  / Tina Wood (Grandaughter)

When I think of you I'm glad,

but now you’re gone and so I am sad,

you always seemed happy,

even when things seemed to get wacky,

grandpa, you were strong and wasn't weak,

you did things I thought was unique,

I know you were sick,

had a cancer that was too far to recover,

I'm glad you are better and no longer have to suffer,

I'll never forget you I want you to know,

I just want you to know I miss you so,

your body is dead but your soul will never die,

I promise totell me little ones when i am older, I will not lie,

I'll tell them just who you were,

a strong willing labor to life,

with a kind, loving ,and caring spirit,

you can't be forgotten to me you see,

you have done so much just to please me,

I never was ready to say good-bye,

I ask myself always WHY,

did God have to take you away from us,

was it your time, was it your bus,

why do we come and go,

this I still do not know,

Grandpa I know someday we'll meet,

until then I will stay on my feet.

I love you grandpa more than you know,

and I promise to always think of you and I miss you so!

Happy Birthday Dad I Love You So Very Much!!!!!! (12/1/2005)  / Annie Jo (daughter)

Looking back upon my life
I see you standing there
Handsome and so perfect
Your child's heart so aware

Looking up to you
With love within my eyes
I see my own reflection
That's when I realize

I am part of someone
Who fills my soul with peace
Each day of your existence
It constantly repeats

For all the joy you've given
For all the paths we've made
I stand upon your threshold
The child within your shade

You keep me soft and loving
Within this life we share
With love and inspiration
My Daddy's heart I wear

Star in life will follow
No matter where I go
Shine is always radiant
Gift of life ~ your glow.

I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday Dad....
I Love and Miss you very much ...
Annie Jo (tootie)

 Mornin dad thought I would write ya a few lines and let ya know your always in my thoughts.  We really miss you bunches dad, theres not one single day that goes by that you dont cross our minds.  I think the only thing that keeps me goin is knowing that your in heaven and your not in any kinda pain right now.  Although dad I would give anything in the world ..."ANYTHING" just to have you back with us, only without cancer/ without being in pain.  I know thats not goin to happen but I also know that someday I will get to see you again. Mom shes doing pretty good, we all got out yesterday and went out to eat and went shopping. Yup we're tryin to keep them roads burning hot as you would say dad.  It just keeps gettin colder and colder outside dad before to long its goin to be christmas... Ya know that holidays is goin to be extremely hard without you dad.  I miss you so much and wish you were here...Steve went fishing yesterday dad and caught a big ol' mess of fish like about 20/25 bluegills.  He's wanting me to fix him soms fish and hushpuppies...(not like the baseball size ones i did before)..."wink"  Me and patty brought you over a Christmas tree and some decorations and snowglobe and some other things.  So then that way you still had your tree "smile" but it stormed last night so we took 'em off so they wouldn't blow away..but we're goin to take them back over there.  Dad I love you so much and miss you so much ...i just can't stand that your gone... i just wanna see you so bad...but i also know i have to be here for mom right now ...she needs me.. you know a person couldn't ask for better parents than you and mom..you both have always been there for all of us kids..everytime we needed something you both are always there.  I am so thankful to have parents that loved and cared for us like you and mom does.  Well dad I guess I'm goin to go for now, but I'll write some more later ..but im sending a BIG HUG AND BIG KISS up to heaven for ya..."SQUEEZE & MUAH" I love ya bunches dad ....
Love always

Evening dad just thought i would say hey and let ya know I'm missing you so much.  Every day that goes by seems like eternity.  Mom seems to be doin good still ...mean as ever "wink" but you know that dont ya dad.  I think me, Pattypoo, and Lonnie are comin over to see and talk to ya tonight when Vickie and Patty gets off of work.  Well dad we've got the holidays comin up ...Thanksgiving & Christmas.  Wow its goin to be really rough without you here , but I know in so many ways you will still be with us.  Dad I love and miss you so much.  Days go by and its like I'm waiting for you to walk thru the door where you've been to the store or something.  People tell me that it will get easier as days go by...somehow I dont believe that cause it just keeps gettin harder and harder.  Well dad I think im goin to go for now ...but im sending you a huge hug "squeeze" & big kiss "muah" and just know that I love you and miss you so so very much and the day i see you again is the day im gonna give ya a hug and kiss for real...but well i'll talk toya later dad....g'night and hopefully i'll see ya in my dreams...

Morning dad , thought I would write ya a few lines and let ya know that mom's doing pretty good.  She seems to be doing much better than what she was.  Thanx dad for watching over mom while she was back there and making sure everything went good.  Poor mom was very scared. 
Boy dad we sure do miss you like crazy, everyday that goes by feels like eternity.   I know in so many ways you are with us.  Its just not the same though we want you here with us so bad.  But I understand that we all will be together again and I'm lookin forward to that day dad.  When I can walk up to you and give you a big hug.  I miss & Love you so much dad.  Mom she thinks about you all the time.  But dont worry cause I made a promise to you that I would make sure mom was takin care of and I plan to up hold that promise no matter what.  You took care of her for 58 years I can too....Well dad I guess I'm goin to close for now but I will write ya more later...until then ...I love & miss you so much and your always in my thoughts...see ya in my dreams dad...
Love always...
