Hello Dad,
             
There are many things I remember, your smile, your laugh and how you were always there for everyone! Don't argue, fight or hate!  I remember one time I was upset because I heard someone didn't like the person I love.  You asked if I was happy, I told you yes.  You told me  don't worry about it, just be happy.   I know how much you loved and missed mom.  I heard you tell her and grandma each time we took flowers, you loved and missed them and you would be along soon.  Hug and Kiss them for me please.  God wanted you to come home, I can't argue with GOD!  I love you so much, Carol

P.S. Maya Angelou said I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.  I won't forget I had the best dad ever, because you were mine!

Hi Keith (Pop)

I'll remember how content, accepting, kind, helpful and loving you have been!  I'll also remember when I asked for your permission to marry Carol, Haha. You didn't say no, you told me God believed in me and loved me, you need to believe in yourself again son, you can do it.  The stuff I did was to cover the pain I felt and the cycle of pain and hurt I caused so many!! I don't do any of that now Keith (Pop).  I am rebuilding family relationships slowly.  My daughter just became an adult.  I have forgiveness to ask of her, and to answer all questions she may have.  You raised Carol the BEST, Thank you Keith!  I'll be there for her the way she and my extended family has for me!!  I/We will meet up with you again in a much much better place.  When the ducks come around, I will smile and remember you enjoying the simple pleasure of talking to and feeding them! Lol.  Love Tony

My dear grandfather, my world, my love, my idol, 

The news of your passing was the worst of my life. I didn’t want to accept it. I love and miss you so much. Memories replay in my head multiple times. When you were the only one that could save me from spankings. When even though you didn’t cook much, you made BOMB butter and bread. And don’t even get me started on ramen noodle soup - crushed with a sprinkle of peppa lol When you watched me late at night if mom had school or you’d take me places I needed to go literally ALL my life - we could always count on you. When you were one of the only people I could talk to about troubles and good times alike, you always had the most calm and reasonable approach to handling situations. I always idolized your inner peace and ‘irie’ personality. And the best memory of them all - when I was honored to be the grandchild you walked down the aisle. Thank you for being an amazing father figure in my life, as well as grandfather, confidante, and caretaker when things got crazy. I love you so much and this will for sure take a while to get over, since I’m still in denial, but I am still happy you are in a better place and back with your loving wife (I’ve literally prayed for grandma everyday since she passed, and now I have another angel to add to my list). 
May you Rest In Peace. Love you forever.

Love, 
Stephie 

P.s. I still promise to dedicate my first son’s name to you like we spoke about recently. That smile you gave was infectious when I told you so I’ll remain in that moment a bit longer. Thank you 

Hey Dad...
Well I know you are in the best place ever, with the Almighty, the love of your life (Mom) and other family members. 
You are going to be missed here, especially the grands and great grands... but rest in peace now.
Love, 
Trouble...😂🇯🇲

Dear Grandpa,

I miss you terribly! Although I know your in a better place and happily reunited with the love of your life, I selfishly miss you! I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, I miss you oh-lala’s and Lawd Gawd! I miss everything about you! I will forever cherish the moments I shared with you! I will carry you in my heart for as long as I live! Please watch over me and continue to guide my steps. Love your first grandchild, Michelle
