Hey George I know it has takin me a long time to get here and this is probably going to be very hard for me. There is a lot of things that I want to say to you but I don't know how to say them. You know I have never been one who's big on words. You have helped me out so much over the years. I have never took the oppertunity to tell you how thinkful I am for that. When times got hard and I needed a place to live you opened up your home to me. When christy and I was having problems you were always there to give me advice on what to do. I don't think I would have made it through a lot of my problems if it wasn't for you. I don't have many people that I can talk to but if I ever needed anyone to talk to I new all I had to do was go ride with you. You always had a answer for everything. You always made me feel like everything was going to be ok and I miss that. I haven't had that feeling since you left. When you left you took with you a big part of my heart as well as others. You were like a dad to me. I wish I could talk to my dad like I could you. I miss you so bad. You were filled with so much compashion, heart and wisdom I felt like I could tell you anything. I know that Christy's hurting so bad because you're not here and I want so bad to be here for her but I don't know what to say. Nothing I say will make her feel better. I just wish you were still here to tell me what to do. I don't think I could possibly cry anymore right now so I'll have to get off of here. I just want you to know that you are loved and missed always.

George,
I've been trying to get up the nerve to look at this page for quite some time now. I guess I was afraid that reading everything would make me cry. I was right. I miss you so much all the time. I still can't believe that you're gone. I watched the home video from Halloween the other day when you were swinging the pinata for us. That's one of the things I loved so much about you. You were a daddy to all of us. Always playing with all the kids...even though we weren't all yours. Even when I got older, you were there for me when I had questions about the law, needed help getting out of trouble, or just letting me cry on your shoulder when my mom threw me out. That meant more to me than you'll ever know. I've been spending time with Christy and she reminds me so much of you. She's an absolute joy and is so kind and caring like you. You did a great job. I know that you're always going to be here watching over us as one of God's angels. I feel safer knowing that. We all love and miss you so much.
Love always,
Amber

A FATHERS TOUCH, DADDY'S KISS, A GRIEVING DAUGHTER, YOU'R GREATLY MISSED. AN EMPTY HOUSE, AN EMPTY CHAIR, A FATHERS LOVE,NO LONGER THERE. A BROKEN HEART, TEAR FILLED EYE, ANOTHER SOUL TO FILL THE SKY. THE TIME WE SHARED, THE LAUGHS WE HAD,THINGS I MISS WHEN I THINK OF YOU DADDY. REALIZING THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO HOLD ON TOO. ONLY MEMORIES, OF WHAT ONCE WAS YOU. MISSING YOUR LAUGH, AND YOU TELLING ME IT IS GOING TO BE OK, I WILL NEVER AGAIN HEAR. THAT IS THE REALITY THAT FILLS ME WITH SO MUCH FEAR. NO MORE SMILE ON YOUR FACE, NO MORE WARMTH OF YOUR EMBRACE. THE LAST HUG, THE LAST KISS THE LAST "GOODBYE" LEAVES ME WITH ONE LAST WISH.... TO HAVE YOU BACK DADDY, HERE TODAY, NEVER TO LEAVE YOUR DAUGHTER! A FATHER'S TOUCH, A FATHER'S KISS, A GRIEVING DAUGHTER, YOUR GREATLY LOVED AND MISSED

Dad Just wanted to say HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! We love you and miss you. only a few more weeks until the worse day of my life gets here. It so dont seem like two yrs. Logan graduated kindergarten The 23rd. You would of been so proud of him.they had to get up and say their name and what they wanted to be when they grow up and when it was his turn he jumped up there and said he wanted to be a baseball player. He was not shy about talkin in front of all the people at all. Out of all three of them he is going to be the most like you. You didnt have a shy bone in you and he dont either. the other to are like me they wouldnt of got up there for nothing. After it was over i asked him what happen to being a cop like pawpa he said I cant do that until I am 21. so I am going to play ball until than. I said ok. Didnt realize he know how old you had to be to become a cop. I guess they do listen. Well to what they want to. well they r wanting to go outside so i am going to get off here LOVE YOU ALWAYS
