"There are no words to express the heartache and sadness, yet in all, we praise our Heavenly Father for Blessing us with such a wonderful Dad. He was a man that taught us by being an example. He showed us how to be Strong in the right things, How to love through the good and bad times, How to be strong in Faith and taught us the importance of family. I am thankful he did not suffer long and that once again he can be with the love of his life. She waited nine years and 20 days for this day. He will be missed beyond words here, Till we meet again, I will listen for that beautiful voice to be singing with the angels." ~ Celest N. Hundt Frank "The last conversation I had with my grandfather, I said "Thank you for giving me a future," and he squeezed my hand and said, "It was my pleasure." As much as I hurt right now, I am so glad that was how we said goodbye." ~ Susan Peterman "You battled hard and braved through to the morning. You lived your life deeply, with love, laughter, honor and most importantly, Faith. Well Done Dad, Well Done! Loveyas Dad ...
