Dear Dad,

It's been 4 weeks and 4 days and I still can't believe that you are not here with us. We miss you so much. I wake up and still think "okay today we will go and see dad or talk to you on the phone." It feels like you should still be here. You will be alive forever in our hearts. I know that one day we will all see you again. Until then, may you watch over us with God and keep us all safe. We know you are in a much better place, with a new body there in Heaven.

I Love You,

Marva

Oh my Bronco buddy, my Mr Bill....now you are free, but we will miss you so much. You can sing your songs, tell your stories and smile your smiles forever.....no more problems. I will always remember our good times at the nursing home, and our wearing of the "colors" on game days. Peace my friend, peace.
