July 1, 2007 the day I acutally realized life could change in an instant. The day you died. The day you no longer suffered on earth. I lived out the moments in my head as if I were in the car with you that night. Everything was so clear. I feel like I was with you at the bar, all the way down Saba Lane and into the Life Flight that that tried to save your life. I suffered with you all the way. Now I suffer not not being able to call you. Not being able to see the joy your grand girls would bring you. But it's okay. I know you are my biggest angel. I know you are with me just as I am with you. I love you daddy. Today I will remember the 4th of July everyone in Port Neches who mattered to you gathered at your house. We were all there in grief but mostly happiness for your life. You taught us all lessons we would never forget. Some of us set the sky on fire with fireworks. The cops came as they always did. Lol The fireworks continued even under the cop cars. It was hysterical and unforgettable. Just like you. One love dad! - Kimberly

~When the wind blows, I feel you everywhere I go~ I can't believe it has been 3 years since you have left us. Your spirit and memory grows stronger each time the sun rises and fades away. Whether it be a small lil thought that runs through my head, a nostalgic scent, a zztop song that comes on, or the changes of the seasons; your presence is with me constantly. More than anything, I miss your gleeful beam and having the honor of beng your "baby girl," but I KNOW that you are watching over me from the greatest of all places. And just when it all seems too much to endure, I know I'll be alright as long as there is light from a neon moon. In my yearning, I often imagine what life would be life would be like if you were here today. With peace rested in my heart, I am grateful for the memories that I shared with you and blessed to know such a unique soul that I call Daddy <3 Sunny days seem to hurt the most Wear the pain like a heavy coat I feel you everywhere I go I see your smile, I see your face I hear your laugh' in the rain I still can't believe you're gone (Chorus) It ain't fair you died too young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowing, no one could take your place Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today Would you see the world Would you chase your dreams Settle down with a family I wonder what would you name your babies Somedays the sky's so blue I feel like I can talk to you And I know it might sound crazy (Chorus) It ain't fair you died too young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowing, no one could take your place Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today Today, Today, Today... Today, Today, Today... Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat The only thing that gives me hope Is I know, I'll see you again someday Someday, Someday...

Here's one memory of Uncle Charles I have. I was probably 5 or 6 and the Lange's were all at the beach, like we used to do every year. Uncle Charles had a dirt bike and I wanted to ride. Dad said it was cool, so I jumped on the back with Charles and he gunned it nearly throwing me off. I held on for dear life and prayed it would be over soon. Undle Charles knew he scared the you know what out of me, but I loved it. He always wanted to have a good time and push the limits. That's what I loved about him. He truely loved life and took full advantage. Miss you Uncle Chares!

I miss you and your spirit to ride out any gulf hurricane that came our way. I know Alex is a sign that you are still with us. Let the wind blow and the rain come down. May you continue to be our angel from above. I love you pops! Rest assured on your 51st birthday, we will be at Papacitos tossing back a top shelf with some camp fire shrimp for you. Don't worry, I won't let Bethany steal any light bulbs. :)

Today would have been your 50th birthday. If you were here I know that you would cook the biggest breakfast and shortly after start on a crazy cajun meal that would take all day to cook. You would pop a red star, sit on the patio, and take it slow. The music would be playing and your many friends would stop in and all day they would come and go. Making memories is how you lived. I miss you more than ever. I wish you were here to see Mazzy grow. I know that you are looking over her and will always keep her safe just like you have done for me. I i vow to do my very best to make sure she knows you. She has a picture of you next to her bed. In our heats you will stay. You are my soul. I love you daddy. Happy Birthday! Kimberly ,Josh and Mazzy

Where do I even begin!! Well lets see I was going to talk about the pigs butt but I see that B already told the story! That was probably the best story I have ever heard in my entire life!! haha I tell that story like he was my own dad all the time! I also could not get enough of that gumbo!! Everytime Beth would call and say my dad is cooking gumbo i was like yessss im coming!! He was such a good cook and he always had some crazy story to tell! He was such a good person and served his time well here. And ill tell you one thing, he loved his kids!! It never failed everytime I would see him he would go on and on about how much he loved Bethany and she means the world to him. I love that man!! Happy birthday Curley! I know that this is by far the best birthday party you will ever have!! Love you and I love you Bethany, Kimber, Anthony, and Brandon!!

Even in Heaven you still have Birthdays, so I imagine you having some good jam, great food and a good drink to top it off!! Look down though, because your daughters are going to raise a glass up to you tonight and probably drive around with the music turned up singing some of your favorite songs. You will live on forever!! Happy Birthday!!

I will never forget good ole Curly! He was a kind man and always had an open door. He would give you the shirt off his back. And like we all know...his food was AWESOME!! He would always tell us his humorous stories while we were sitting around by a fire! I remember one day at Anthony's he was cooking shark and I did not want to try it...I don't like fish so I was like hell no! He wouldn't let me leave until I tried his one-of-a- kind shark...so I finally took and bite and loved it...couldn't quit eating it!! He was so much fun to be around and always had a smile on his face!! Rest in peace and Happy Birthday.

Kim I remember driving down from houston after the hurricane hit to go check up on our families & see the damages.. I remember meeting up with ur dad & sitting around just b.s'ing about how stupid everyone was being about the damn hurricane. Ur dad was just chillin in the camper in front of the house having his self a great ol' time. I remember we walked around looking at all the damages & he was telling us about how bad everything got. Then he was all about feeding our bellies.. I remember thinking how upbeat & positive his attitude was for having just went through being evactuated for the hurricane and thinking to myself this must be where u got ur nothing can bring me down attitude from.. Kim ur dad was a great man & u have grown to be a well rounded & established woman who always has that very same positive attitude.. I know ur dads proud of u & i know u wont ever let him down.Girl u just keep being u & theres nothing that he wouldnt be proud of.. I love u girl...happy birthday curley

I remember Mr. Lange inviting me, Lindley, Mrs. Fran, and Kati to come have gumbo at his house with him and Bethany one day and what I remember most about that day is as soon as I walked in I was hit with the mouthwatering smell of his gumbo!! I'm sure he didn't expect us to eat a few bowls full but he made plenty!! It was hands down some of the best gumbo I've had and we were some of the lucky ones to eat it! It was delicious! We ended up staying for most of the afternoon just talking with him about anything and everything...he was an amazing person! Everytime I saw him, he had that wonderful warm smile on his face! Happy Birthday Mr. Lange!! I miss you dearly!

I did not know your dad, but both of you are wonderful people! I am sure he is very proud of you, as am I. I am sure he had a lot to do with the strong, smart women you grew to be. I'm so glad to call both of you friends. God Bless!

I remember the first time I visited Bethany's house and met him... he was singing "figaro" in full opera style. The more he saw me laughing, the louder he sang. =) Happy birthday!

My Dad loved to laugh. That is how I want to remember him, with a big smile on his face. One of my favorite stories about him is the story he told me about getting "slapped in the face with a pigs butt." It goes like this.. He and his neighbor ( Mr. Dwayne LeFluer) loved to cook together as well as drink. They were having a bar-b-q and of course a small drinking fest. Well alcohol started flowing, my Dad began to tell Mr. Dwayne how to cook his meat. This eventually led to an argument, which progressed to a fight. Next thing you know, Mr. Dwayne " grabbed the pork butt and slapped him across the face with it." My Dad said he was so drunk he then fell into a rose bush. It was so funny because when he was telling the story he was laughing so hard he was crying. He also had red marks on his face. Along with scratches all up and down his leg from the rose bush. I thought it was a very funny and typical story from them two. I will always remember the names he called me. For example, he always introduced me as his "baby girl" or if he was upset with me he would say "damn girl." He would say "damn girl" where ya going dressed like that;Or "damn girl" who do you send so many text messages to? Or "damn girl" when are you going to come see me? The list goes on.. There were several times that he would meet people who knew me and he would talk all night long about "his baby" girl and just brag about how much he loved me, etc. I am going to miss his calls, when all he wanted to call and tell me is how much he loved me. I mean hours long. More to come later.. Looking forward to going to his all time favorite restaurant tonight, Papacito's, and eating his favorite dish and drinking top shelf margarita's. Just like he would like it! Love, B

My memory of Curley was the day we painted Josh and Kims house.. we were listening to oldies Rock and Roll, and everyone in the room, Curley, Kims uncle and I all had this calm, relaxed, and real passion for laying down paint.. sounds weird, but we were all happy.. It's hard work, but I could tell that Curley loved to paint houses.. he had a true passion for laying down paint.. I learned alot from him that day.. and will never forget the things I learned and the fun we had just painting and listening to some good tunes..

I didn't know Curley well at all, met him a handful of times, but what I want to say is how thankful I am that he helped create 4 beautiful children, one of them is so very special to me, my Kimmie...to most, Kim or Kimber's. He will live on inside of his children forever and it will be past down to many generations to come. My love and prayers to you all, Mary

My dad made me who I am today. I have no regrets. His greatest memories that live with me are; his cooking, his kindness, Sunday morning with Zydeco blaring, his love for music, the big blue Charlie van with house speakers in it, his art that lives in many houses, my brothers and sister, morning phone calls on the way to work and the endless I love you's. He believed in me and I am here to keep his memory alive.
