Thinking of you Daddy,
August 17th…the first year is almost here. Each day is tough but that day will be the toughest in a while. We will celebrate your life Friday and all the goodness you brought to us and others. I miss you so much.
Jeff and family: We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dad,
I miss you so much. Every day I wake up and realize you really are gone! I want to call you early mornings, especially on my days off, that was our special time to chat and laugh. But we still carry on a conversation. You were always my rock, I could get all the right answers from you and I still need that. Life is great. I’m really good, sure wish I had shared my promotion to the top with you. I knew about it but wanted to wait until closer to the time. I hate myself for not telling you, cause I know you would be so proud. My kids are great, too. It is so tough watching Mom seem lost and she is so sad. I wish she could see you soon, she needs your care. Send me a sign that lets me know you are listening to me. Love you so much! P.S. I’m hiding on Father’s Day!
Mrs. Phillips, So very sorry for your loss. I always thought a lot of your husband. My prayers and thoughts are with you. George Snyder
Just wanted you to know that I was sorry to hear of your loss, and to let you know our prayers are with you during this time.

Happy Father’s Day! This is a day that was always special to me. You were always appreciative of what we did for you on this day but acted like the day was not that big of a deal. But you should have felt like you were towering over all the Dads on that day because YOU were the Number One. Your love, kindness, sharing and giving were non-stop. You were the Dad to admire and a role model for us kids and even our friends. You were what we want to be today. I love you Dad. And today I’m playing your CD’s, holding onto a few ‘tie tips’, drinking tea in your honor all through my tears. I miss you so much, Buffy
I’m so sorry to hear about Al’s death. He was such a wonderful member of the Blue Ridge Parkway staff and we did consider him staff although he was a volunteer. Please accept my condolences.
