betty,pam,anette and duane please take care and i love you all.
I know you will probally not know this was written but Dad I will miss you so bad. Tuesday night you were laughing with us and now you are gone. My heart hurts but it is so great to know you are in heaven and I am holding on to the hope that I will see you again. You taught me so much and those times will never be forgotten. Thank you for loving Amanda like you have. You showed her what love really and truly means. You were considered not only a papaw but her best friend. You loved mom so much and she loves you. I sit and watched you both for a month and thought about how great unconditional love must be. I will miss you calling her ‘Baby Girl’ and telling her not to worry that God would work this out. I just wished maybe God would wait for a little while longer but he had other plans. You finished the fight here and I am thankful you did not suffer long. Mom and I prayed in your room that you would not hurt or suffer. It wasnt long until the angels said that is enough and God opened his arms. I love you dad and never will you be forgotten. Thank you for being that person I could talk to and you made me feel better. Thank you for always telling others that you were proud of me and all of us..I dont know what we are going to do without you. Right now I just dont think it is possible. Thank you for being a wonderful person and dad. You overcame alot of obstacles in life and I will always admire you for that. I only hope I can be half the person you were…I miss you dad..I will love you forever..I will see you again…I promise you that. Love, Your Daughter
Betty
you and your whole family are in my prayers. jack was a great papaw to his grandchildren and they are going to miss him greatly.jack was a good friend to me and i will miss him.
Dear Dad, I love you and miss you so bad. Our life will never be the same without you…your smile, your laugh, your silly rhymes, and other special things. Your little ‘Chaz-man’ and ‘Papaw girl’ will always remember how much fun you were. How many Papaw’s would get down in the floor and turn flips just to make them laugh! You scared me so many times, but you would do anything just to make them happy. I was so proud of you Dad. You were so loving with my children. When you were around them their eyes would light up, and your face would shine with pride. I saw a different side of you alot of people didn’t see or even try to see. You had a rough life growing up and I always wondered how people can be so selfish, so cruel, and heartless…especially family! People who hurt you know who they are, and I pray they will ask God for forgiveness before their time is up. A friend recently told me something that made so much sense…’You can’t unscramble scrambled eggs’…I feel like the Lord let me hear those words for a reason. Forgiving is easy;Forgetting is not. Through all the trials and tribulations you faced the Lord blessed you, protected you and loved you. I’m just so glad to know that you realized that he died for you and you are now with him in a much better place where there is no heartache and pain. It’s so hard for me to keep from asking God ‘Why?’ I know I shouldn’t ask why or be selfish just to keep you here with us. This is the hardest moment I have ever faced in my whole life, but just knowing you are with our Lord Jesus Christ makes all the difference in the world. You will never be forgotten. I will meet you in heaven one day…I promised you…I promised you alot of things and I will follow through with each and every one of them. Love, ‘Little Betty’
Annette and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know, Annette, I’ve walked in you shoes and will be here should you need to talk.

Aunt Betty, Duane, Pam and Annette I am so sorry about your loss. Even though I haven’t seen you in several years I often thought of you. Uncle Jack will be missed by me and others. He was always kind to me and I loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I know all to well how it is to loose a dad. May God bless you all through this difficult time and know that I am thinking of you. Love Teresa

Amanda and Annette,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is when families are close to each other. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Annette,
I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Just keep in mind that all is in GOD’S plan and things happen in HIS time. i recently lost a parent and it won’t be easy but with having a heavenly father to talk to will ease the pain. Just remember what JESUS said on the cross. Luke 23:43 ‘For sure, I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.'(NLV) Your Dad now has a new body and no pain and you can say ‘SEE YA LATER’ instead of goodbye. Through all the pain just keep your eyes on Jesus, he is there…. i know!
Love You
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
To Betty, your children and grandchildren, The passing of Jack was a shock and a great loss. But through all of the grief and sadness, he is in Heaven and he didn’t have to suffer. The Lord knows the future and He knows what is best. I love you Betty and all of your children. All of you are my best friends. My Prayers and thoughts are with you all. If there is anything that I can help you all with in any way, please give me a call. Betty, you sure have been a very special friend to me for a lot of years through thick and thin you have been there for me. Words cannot express of what a wonderful person you are. The Lord is with you. Love, Doris Adkins.
Dear Betty and family, we are very sorry for your loss. Jack will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything you need, or anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We are here for you. Sincerely, Randy and Amanda Hensley
Dear Pam and Family
We wanted to let you know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers and we wanted to let you know we are here for you if you need us for anything. Let God comfort you daily because He is who helped me the most when we lost ‘PaPaw’. Just know he is in heaven now with ‘Papaw’ and they are watching now over you and your family. You all have an angel in heaven who will watch over you and will always be in your heart.
Sincerely,
The Roseborough’s

We know Heaven is a wonderful place but oh dad…Tell Jesus we are ready for the sounding trumpets and the angels….We are ready to see Jesus….I love you daddy. Love, ‘Netsi’ and ‘Amanda-papaws girl’

Thank you for so many wonderful times but espacially the last months when we found out you had the brain tumor. We shared many things when I stayed with you and mom. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for accepting Jesus into your heart because I cant wait to see you. Heaven must be a beautiful place. Oh I long to see you and Jesus, granny and grandpa. I just want you to know that even though its been a year, the missing you part is so the same. I love you.
Dad,
Fathers Day has come and gone. I miss you. I wish you were here. I dont understand all this even yet. The pain is unbearable but just a new normal. Mom misses and loves you so much dad. I hope you are in heaven and you see that. Life is hard with out you but God is so good in comforting us. Amanda misses you too. You were her life dad. Im waiting for the day to see you again. Im tired of everyone saying I must look like my dad. I want to see you again. Im coming to see you dad. This world is getting worse. GOd will step thru the clouds soon. I cant wait to see Jesus and your smiling face. I love you so much. I will never forget you dad.
Dad, I just want you to know that life without you is like a fish without water. I miss you. Days are not the same. One day it will be~~I am coming home. I knew life would be hard, but not this hard. I love you dad. I really love you.
Dad,
Time is passing by and I miss you more now than ever. I want to run to you so many times and I realize heaven is out of my reach right now. Valentines Day is fast appproaching and I know how much it hurts so bad. Mom loves you so much. I know she would love to come to heaven for that day but dad I would miss her so bad. Losing you taught me just how sad life could be with a parent gone. I know you are enjoying Jesus dad. I cant wait to see you both…I just cant wait. Amanda misses you too. She is still doing paino and making good grades. I just had to write on here dad-I know you dont get it but it helps me to express to you how much you mean to me. I love you and I am striving every way to make it to heaven to be there and oh how much I cant wait to see you. I will take care of mom. Dont you worry. I love you dad…Annette
Hi Dad, I just felt like telling you I miss you. THings are ok here except I cant call you for advice. Mom is ok for now but she misses you. Bobby and Amanda are fine. Amanda has her tousils out Monday. We are nervous about that. I cant wait to see you in heaven. Be preparred-Im gonna really hug you and Jesus. Oh, dad-We got a motorcycle. We like it. I go on the parkway and wave really high to you. I MISS YOU…Thanks for sending the birds home…I love you daddy.
Another Christmas come and gone. I miss you so much dad. Amanda is in 10th grade now, I wish you could see how beautiful she is. Life goes on but I can not wait to see you again. I know you are happy in heaven but I miss you terribly here. Life is just not the same. I miss you eating rice, I miss silly things like seeing you on the mower and laughing at me. Im closer to seeing you now that I ever was. I love you dad. I miss you.
Dad, I cant believe how long it has been since God called you home.I miss you so bad here. Mom misses you terribly still. I think about you every day of my life and I hurt. Yes, I should be rejoicing but how can I. I do have a little adopted girl now. She is amazing. I wish you was here to see her. Dad I just wish you were here. AManda misses you too. Life without you sure is not the same. I can not wait to see you and hug you so big. THank you for being a dad who loved me and was not ashamed to say Im sorry if I hurt you in the past. I love you so very much. Amanda and I was talking today and we never want to forget anything about you. Not one thing. Im so thankful God put you in her life. She adored you and still has a hard time moving past you being gone. You will be proud to know that I am truly living my life as best as I can to see you and meet you in heaven. Without God I am nothing. I know you are happy in heaven but mom is lost without you. You were her sunshine, the rock she clinged to. And one day we will all be together. I love you and miss you daddy. I miss you and love you with my whole heart.
Just me dad, missing you terribly. Is it wrong to wish you were here. I know you are still worshipping at Jesus feet. I need that reassurance that you are watching over us…I love and miss so bad. (Annette)
Dad, you have been in heaven now for seven whole years and they say time heals all pain, but whoever said that was so wrong. Time doesn’t heal pain. It just buys time until we see eachother again. Dad, I love you so much and I love you more than I could ever tell you. I’m glad your in heaven cause life down here is so dissapointing..and honestly I wouldn’t have you be dissapointed for anything. However, I will see you soon. Enjoy your birthday in heaven! I will try to enjoy mine.
Chaz loves you…Kalee tooo. And Dad if you don’t mind, please watch over those two, especially Kalee. She needs it!
Well dad its another Thanksgiving without you. Im not sure if I am thankful you are in heaven or gone. It hurts still. It seems everyone is busy with life. I am longing for the day I see you and Papaw and Granny again. I bet it is wonderful there. Just seeing the man who gave his life for us is amazing enough. I know you look after all of us. We will always love you and never forget you. I miss you laughing at my shoes. Man, I would buy 8 inch heels for you to laugh at if you were here now. GOd, I miss you. Amanda misses you too. She is in college and working. You would be proud of the way she worships God at church. I dont know but I hope you can see that. I love you. This is not the same without you. When mom meets you in heaven this tradiition will be gone Im sure. I will see you there dad. I will! I love you so much.
I will always miss you dad…..ALWAYS…until my last beath
I will always miss you dad…..ALWAYS…until my last breath
