Dad, although the anniversary of your passing into Heaven is coming again, I grieve not only for my missing you -- but I am also thankful for your presence with Mom and our God in His home! Still miss you both; but I am looking forward to joining you in Heaven in God's time!

Dad, you and Mom are never far from my thoughts and fond memories -- especially so as your birthday approaches. We all miss you and so wish that we could still be sharing our lives together again. Until then, I can just say that "I love you."

Athough I didn't know you, I know you have a wonderful son Jeff who cared so much for you. Jeff has always been special to me so I know he was to you. May God Bless and keep you and your family in his arms always.

Well Dad, I couldn't have asked for a better person than you as a father. You have shared so many good things in life with me, that has helped me through my life. I will always appreciate this and will
use these things to help make me the best person I can be. Thank you for always being there from the day I was born.
I have seen how so many people you have touched in your life. Whether it was someone in line at the grocery store or someone who has known you a long time.
Although it is very sad to see such a great person leave us now, I do believe you will continue touching peoples lives in heaven. And, of course, you are now able to be with Mom again, which makes us all feel very happy now.
I love you Dad and thanks again for being my father!

Your son. Dave

Dad, you did not have to wait long to join your partner in Heaven. We will miss you both but all realize that you are now in a better place -- a place that you have been preparing for -- in accordance with God's plan.
