Bob, Michael and Family,
I want to express what a joy it has been over the past year serving your father by upholding our ‘Mission Statement’ here at Heather Glen. I pray that you all will be comforted in knowing that his life was enriched even till the very end. I will miss him.
Papa,
It’s been almost 10 years since you left us and there isn’t a day that goes by even nine years later that I miss you. I miss you every day and every major milestone I have in my life I feel like you have been a part of it. Since you passed away I have graduated from high school and went on to college and am becoming a special ed teacher. I have also been through a lot of emotional stress and struggled a lot with your son my dad Micheal. I see a lot of you in him and it makes me miss you even more. He recently retired after 38 years and he’s enjoying life which is great. I also met this guy who is basically like a brother to me and is actually a soldier like you were which is cool. I miss you so much and until we meet again love you, papa 🙂
