Jil I have some wonderful pictures of grandpa, get a hold of me and I can get some to you. I love and miss you so much. We both need to take our pain away and heal our family.
Dad, today I wish you were here as Bruce and I celebrate our anniversary. I know that you would love to call him your son in law, he is wonderful person just like you. I look up to the heavens and see you looking down smiling at me. I love and miss you so much. Also please help your granddaughter to follow the right path and make our family whole again.
I miss you more and more every day. Part of me feels like things would be different if you were still here with us. I wish you didnt have to go so soon, You are one of the best men that God has ever created; i know you are watching over the family and those you loved and cared for; i only wish i could see your face one last time, with no pain, just to see your smile again would take away so much pain. I love you. -Esmarelda Decatur, IL US
