We will mis you...

Until I can gather my thoughts and my feelings this letter will have to do.

After telling the kids that you had passed, Ruthie asked "is she sad?" Isaiah replied "no, angels are not sad" and Ruthie responded "but if I had to leave my little boy behind I would be sad." I think its safe to say our house is in shock right now. I can't imagine how your house is, they are all in our thoughts and prayers.


I post this 'cause when ever it played on the radio lately I have thought of you. How when I call your home to leave a message for your family to call me if they need me, I always hear your voice and you always end the message with "Have a great day"


I chose this video 'cause it was one of your favorites. You would even hold off on answering your cell phone so you could sing along. Kallie will cherish that photo of you with her...

I will miss our phone conversations, the projects you would get me into like the stockings or that huge yard sale. I will miss seeing the genuine interest you had for my children, driving out to just catch a football game or showing up with flowers for the recital. Going out to the stores and buying for your own like all parents do but then showing up at our door 'cause you found something they would like. Showing up at my door with a cat brush 'cause I was fussing about the shedding. I will take to heart now and try to do better on what you were always telling me. Enjoy today, let the house work go, don't worry about the small messes, it will be there later.

I will be there for your family and will keep in touch with them. They have become such a huge part of our family. I will have your son up to play when he can and let him just enjoy "being a boy" .

I believe now you are with your daddy who you missed so much and you are up there singing along with him and our father. Your work on earth is done and although it leaves me wondering how could that be, I know it must be true. You helped many and cared for many...you were a dear friend.

You will be missed.
