I love you dad so much and I really miss you so much. You were always so kind and caring for our family. I remember you always took me to lacrosse games and you would always tuck me in at night. I remember one time i lost my tooth and you drew on a money bill and you drew a mustache. You were always respected by many people around you. i really miss you dad but i know that you now have no pain anymore. i love and always will

your child Sasha

Another year passes,
Weighing just as heavy on my heart,
The void even greater,
knowing we will always remain apart.

I cherish the memories,
and Thank God I had the chance,
To live this life and to have you
to share that one dance.

Noone lives forever,
but I thought if possible you'd be the one,
But I know now that your battle
Just could not be won.

There are 2 stars I see sometimes
that shine so bright up above
"Hello Mom and Dad,"
I send you my love.

As I get through each day
I feel you as I stand to face each fear,
Hoping the pain is more bearable
When this time comes next year.

Love Debbie
XOXOXOXOXOXO

My Parent...
My hand once so tiny,
held yours so tightly those first years
but there came a time to let it go
To let me go out, to face my fears

So I took my walk into the world
And I knew it broke your heart
But I always knew that youd be there
We were not ever really apart

Yes I have learned some of life's hard lessons
I have felt such pain and such despair
but with your strength and guidance
Each fall was easier to bear

I have also had such happiness
The most joy was shared with you
I am so thankful for the times we had
You are a treasure of which there are few!

And so it is my turn
To let your hand go and be on my way
But I know you will be waiting
until I come back to you someday.

I love you Mom and Dad
Debbie
