Hey Dad ,
It's been a month now and all I think about is you.
Sorry to say but I needed you yesterday and I couldn't get to you . I needed a shoulder to cry on and you were always there to hear me cry (cry baby huh) just like you always called me.
I waanted to walk to your house but I knew that when I got there you wouldn't be there to tell me to shut - up and quit your dam crying .
I miss you so much , I found myself dialing your phone number this morning and I cried cuz you couldn't answer me .
It is so cold out here , dumb weather can't make up it's mind to stay one way or the other.
I'm all alone now Dale went to jail again probably gonna be there awhile they say.
I went with Little Tommy today to the store we were talking about him going racing this spring .
It's not going to be the same without you here. Him and April are getting married in May I know you and Mom will be right there with him .Baby Tommy is getting so big . He does alot of smileing you would get a kick out it.
Betty will be having her baby in July Poncho , John , @ Jr. are doing good all of these grandkids are growing up to quick it seems like just in a month Iv'e seen a difference in them.
Amy is doing the best she can dealing with all of the dumb stuff at the house , But she is such a strong woman it has been really hard for her but you would be proud of her .
Well I guess I will go for now .
I love you very much
and miss you and mom dearly
I want to send you both a hug , so reach out and grab it okay?
Love Your Pain In The Ass and Little Cry Baby

I Love You Dad
I want you to know how much that I have appreciated all the sacrifices that you made for me.
I know it was'nt easy , but you made it look that way.
You made me the person I am with all your Love , Guidence ,and Support.
You have believed in me and gave me Courage and Strength.
You were always there when I needed you the most.
" I Love You Dad "
More than anything in this world
I will always be your buddy , your tom-boy , and your best friend but most of all I will be the daughter you raised.
And in my life I can say I had the strongest and most loving dad ever.
And as for me being a female but we are just alike they broke the molds when they made us.
I miss younso much all I do is sit and cry , I wake up crying in my bed . I Love You Dad
I will see you again someday
Give Mom a great big Hug and Kiss for me and tell her I'm sorry I didn't come home sooner than what I did.
You two have been the best parents anyone could have and I'm so greatful that you were mine
R.I.P
I Love You Both

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back, when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.

Uncle Dennis,
First of all I want to say I realize you are not my blood Uncle,but you and Aunt Pat are people in my life that have been there my whole life and are the very proof that it doesnt always take blood to be family.....In fact someone once pointed out to me that you were not my blood Uncle (only making sure I understood the dinamics of our famly) but this upset me terrably (I was only a child) You were and are my Uncle......I remember you playing with us in the lake throwing me up in the air letting me fall in the water......I remember how large you seemed to me as a child strong and safe we were with you.....how when comming to your house we would most likley find you under the hood of a vehickle......if you were not at work.....All of us Neices and Nephews looked forward to you and Aunt Pat hanging with us at the lake or in the yard just visiting laughing and loving ......we will all miss you so much......It was always Uncle Dennis and Aunt Pat didnt say one name with out the other......so the only thing that is comforting is that it is again Uncle Dennis and Aunt Pat togeather again.....(give her lots of hugs and kisses from all of us). Thanks for all the rides on the lawn mower as a kid I guesse in a way you were a part of first driving lessons....lol.....so many memories.....so much to say.....but I dont think my relationship with you was filled with words as much as observation....just a little girl who adored you for your amazing strength and your way of loving Aunt Pat ( I always thought you were such a great man for the way you took care of Aunt Pat.)......lots of love Uncle Dennis Im not sure thease were words shared between the two of us but we didnt need to because through observation I always knew you loved all your Nieces and Nephews and enjoyed their company.....We will miss you more than you can imagine.
