Grandpa, we are going to miss you. We remember the fun times we had riding the ponies, picnics, parties and holiday dinners with you. You were so much fun. You were always there for us in good times and bad. We didn't like it when you moved away but we understood. Wish you could have seen your great-grandchildren. Just think; you had 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Wish you could have come home one more time to be with us. Rest in Peace, we know you are safely in God's arms now. We love you very much.

Dad, it is hard to let you go. I learned so much from you over the years. Because of you, I learned how to repair autos, and how to do home repairs, among other things. You taught me so much, and I am going to miss you very much. Thank you for loving me. Rest in peace. I love you

Jerry, we had 23 years together, and I always knew we would be there for each other. We hated to see you leave Lincoln, because that meant we couldn't see you as much. We understood that you wanted to be near your children. Know that we always loved you and always will. You were such a huge part of our lives. It is going to be difficult without you, but I know that you are resting in God's hands, and I know I will see you again one day. Rest in peace my darling friend. You are loved by so many people here.

It is so hard to write in words just how much I will miss you dad. The miles that separated us make it hard, just knowing I couldn't come see you more. Rest in peace. I love you
