I wish God would just give me five more mintues with you... Because i miss seeing you in the flesh!! Im tired of waking up and putting on this "mask" that everything is ok, whenever since last Tuesday i cry myself to sleep at night. Even though your gone, i know your still near.. because. Death can never separate the love, memories,  moments,  time etc that we have shared.... dad now that im older i have a better idea of everythin .You did for me when i was growing up.... i often wonder if i said "thank you enough, or if i said i love you enough" dad you was the father that any kid would hope and dream to have. I refuse to stand at your urn and weep because i know that your not there but yet your in heaven smiling down on us!!! Dad i love you, miss you.... forever your son

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. You fought a great fight Dad and never once complained! Daily I continue to keep going and stay focused because I saw you do it. Ypu smiled and endured. Now you are sitting next to Simply the Best God! Thanks for being a GREAT role model!! I love, miss and honor you!

Hey dad... i just wanted to let you know that you are my hero, my protector,  my teacher, but most of all you are my father and i love you dearly. I miss you here on earth, but i know that one day we will be together again on a new journey. You helped me through my life from the time i was 2 and until the time you left this world. It just seem like yesterday we was sitting outside cooking steaks on the grill or sitting in the living room talking about what's happening in the world. I remember you telling me how fast the boys were growing up, and us reminiscing when i was their age. Even though your not here physically to see them and hug them you have left them a legacy and stories to pass on. Thanks for the memories, songs,trips,love, holidays but most of all thanks for being a father. I will forever treasure each and every moment i had with you. You taught me how to be proud of myself,  but also how to be humble. Thank you Dad for being the loving father/grandfather you were for all you have given me, for being there for me. I love you with my heart and soul

If I only had five minutes, the day you passed away, I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile. I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you, not even for awhile. I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go. And tell you that I'll miss you , more than you'll ever know.

Dad I miss you like crazy. Just expecting that you will be sitting in your recliner smiling when I walk in the living room. I miss our long conversations about any and every thing. I miss the time we redeemed together. I miss your presence. You were more than a Dad you were my Father. I know that you are watching down over us and smiling. I know that your spirit lives within us. You have instilled so many great morals and values in us. You came at a time when we needed you most. God You have a Great Warrior in Heaven with you now. God I ask that You continue to grant us Your strength and Your joy. Dad we will meet again soon! Love, Miss and Honor You!

If I had my life to do over, I’d have chosen you to be my dad once more. Even if it meant losing you again, It’s worth all the tears in the world. You were my sunshine when skies were gray. I loved you and honored you; You took all my tears away, I was happy to be with you, Proud to be your little girl. Your love was always pure; You treated me as your own. Your time seemed all too short and I feel so alone. I'll always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace, you always gave me. You being there for my Mom and us through good and bad times, no matter what. I'll always remember you Dad because they’ll never be another one to replace you in my heart.
