Dear Children,I am so sorry to hear your dad passed. We knew your dad from Wagners but more recently I knew him from my shop. As I cut his hair we talked about family and he was very proud of you kids. I found your dad to be a very intelligent man and a kind man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dad~ I just wanted to let you knw that I miss you more than words can say. I don't know how to react at this point and can't help but keep asking WHY??? Why did this have to happen to the most wonderful, caring, strong, gentle, loving man I know? I feel so lost without you these past few days and it hurts me so much inside. I know that you are in a better place and that your pain has been taken away...I feel so selfish at this point and want to scream "what about our pain?" I never thought this day would come that I would be forced to say "Bye for now". It hurts and everyday that passes and Im not sitting next to your bed side brings so much sadness to my heart. I want you to know that I love you and will never stop! Now that you are gone I will continue to do my best here to make you proud of me! I hope you have found your grandson Brody Thomas and you two have made your selves at home. Please watch over us now! You are our heavenly angels! I LOVE YOU DAD!!
