Dear Daddy-O,
Five years without your love, hugs, smile and laughter, silly jokes, and just sitting with you on the bench talking is very, very hard. I love you!
Dad - The distance between you and me is very heavy on my heart today. I'm at a loss for words to describe how lonely and empty I feel without you. Grant me peace Lord.
I love you Dad and miss you every day. I still hear your voice when I walk in your house - "Julie, is that you?". I still feel your love. I'm still here waiting for the day I'll be there with you. Until then, watch over me and the kids. Love you!
Dear Dad,
Christmas is a special time for family so it's been a very hard week without you here. I love you and miss you and want to be with you!!!
Dallas has been quite emotional too and is missing you a lot during this holy season. He's such a good boy and as you always said, he's taking care of me. His love for his little sister is HUGE. It's all because of what you and mom always taught us and showed us about love and family. You're the greatest dad ever!
Love, Julieta, Dallas, Anna, Scooby and Shaggy Jose.
Me again Dad. I love you and thank you for watching over Anna until I was able to bring her home. She's here now and she is beautiful. She looks at your picture and says, I love you Grandpa, in her little Russian voice. I can't tell you how bad I wanted to hold her in my arms with your arms around both of us. We did a little polka for you today though. It was for you and mom's 50th wedding anniversary this month. I know you couldn't stay here any longer and am sorry for my selfishness.
I love you, I love you, I love you!!!!
Thanks for being the best Dad ever and the best Grandpa ever. Dallas will never forget you and will tell Anna all about you.
P.S. She's only been here a week and she is acting silly like you already.
P.S.S. I felt you squeeze my hand twice on the airplane when I was going to Russia to get her and know YOU kept me safe when I was over there. Thanks Dad!
I love you Dad! I miss you so much.
Ashley informed me of Ed's passing and i wish you my sympathies and condolences. Mary your husband was a beautiful human being and someone i truly admired. i know i only knew him for a short time but i feel like he was a part of my life. you both embraced me into your family and i could feel the love and kindness that eminated from that acceptance. The one thing that i remember about Ed was talking to him... you always got a sense of warmth while speaking with him. He had a gentle way about him that could put anyone at ease and always saw the positive in things... i cant imagine how you are feeling at this moment and wish i could have visited with you during the wake... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.

Julie, I'm so sorry to hear that your dad has passed. I only met him once, but, over the years, I've heard about how devoted he was to his church and loved ones. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time.-Roxanne
Julie - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
