Dad,
We have always had our ups and downs but at the end of the day you have always been the one I have looked to! I had no idea when I was a kid that I would eventually miss you the way I do. Because of you I will never take another day for granted. I will not say tomorrow…I am so glad you were there to always be my dad!
Love your daughter
SaraJane
Dick,
You and Martha was right there with me and the girls when we lost George. You and him were best friends and like Martha said today was your birthday so you and George are probably partying together. We can all take comfort in knowing that you are no longer in any pain and out of the suffering. You were a good hard working man. You will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Old Man until we meet again.
