Dad Bubba and I was just talking about this weekend. He is going to play ball in mt veiw. That is the last time u and him was together. He said he was going to play hard for you. I told him to play like you where still setting in the stands talking to him telling him to take a deep breath. I know it will be hard on him. But he is strong just like you. Well I just got off the phone with aunt missy. she is really wanting us to move down there. I want to. Jr can go to work with Larry. I just want to leave it is so hard beung here without you. i know you will not be there either but maybe it will be easier not having to go over the same rodes and to the same place that we use to. i love you and miss you.

Dad tomorrow is mattie-man's 5th b-day. Last year at this time it was you me and the babies setting at the table having caking and ice cream.This year it will be us without u. Jr will be here this year. Mat has not yet asked if you can come. I think he is starting to understand you or not coming home. Kim and I put more flowers out by the pole they where still there yesterday i didnt go by there today. i got you two angels to put by your head stone. I hope you like them. You was always buing them for me so i guess it is my turn to get them for u. i also brought granny and grandpa some new flowers. i brought me another pit today I told u when we had to put Bo to sleep I would have another one. It has taken me eight years to get him but I did. We named him sweet. So far he has been good to the babies. i hope we got another good one. He has been around kids and they had no problems with him. He is only 7mos. Well i am fixing to go to the store with Misty. I love you and miss you more and more everyday.

Dad Went to the memorial in Jud Saturday it was so much better than the one in LR. I guess cause people where there who we know. Tim spoke in your honor. It was hard for him but he done it. Fred also talked about all the nights at the waffle house and bout your hot sauce. We yall laughed. also about how you could walk in a room and make everyones day with your big bright smile. Kim and I looked at each other and said thats our dad. That is just one thing that we all miss about u. There is to many to name.After all you was the best dad and friend a kid could ask for.I want my kids and I to have a relationship like all 4 of us had with u. There was nothing that we couldnt tell you. I miss not having you here to talk to and u telling me together we will get through it. It is so hard but i just think about what you would say and I go on. About Saturday the wall that Ray and Jimmydale and everyone else who helped is awesome. It has a plaque in honor of you Mr. Wayne and Mr.Fred on it.I knew you had lots of friends but i never thought they loved you as much as we do. (I realized that Saturday) Got to go get kids. Love You dad.

Dad We went to the Memorial Day Service yesterday. Nappe,Courtney and Chief Yeager went with us. Other sheriffs was there but u know of course ours wasnt. We where there to honor u that is all that matters. I wanted to go to Washington but I am not going to get to. Maybe next year. I wont get to hear ur name read but Ill see it on the wall. It is hard to believe that next month u will be gone a year. Like they say gone but Never forgotten. Logan asked the other day if god will let his pawpa come home for his birthday I said we cant see him but he will be here baby. He just dont understand. We miss u so much but we know one day we will all be back together. we just have to wait until it is our turn. I have to go get Ettie and Chey from school. I LOVE YOU LOTS......

Dad I just wanted to tell u i love you. I know it has been awhile since I been on but we went to Mr. Waynes funeral and it was very hard on me. Just to soon to attend another Great officers funeral. But I know that you,uncle, Fred and him are back together now. We miss yall more than words will ever be able to describe. Well school is almost out. Ethan asked me the other day what will we do this summer without pawpa. Dad i didnt know what to say.But u should be proud of me cause I didnt cry. When I did answer him I said what would pawpa want us to do. He said the samethings we did with him. And I said than that is what we will do. He said like you can find the places we us to go you will get us lost. I said that is why mommy has a phone to call Ray to come get us. He just laughed. I know it will be different but I have three babies to keep me busy.With you watching over me I can do it. It is time to get Mattie-man from school so I got to go I love u Dad just keep watching over us and all the other men & women officers.

George,
It has taken me a long time, but I am here. I think of you often. It is hard going day to day without you. It is hardest on the people closest to you. I tried to be there for your family and adopted kids. I am one of them after all. It is really hard. Watch over us and be there for us.

Love Always,

DAD Well we made it back. After mom got us lost we ended up in La.(I said denny will be mad when he finds out we where there and didnt call him to see his babies.) But we r home now. The baby's had fun at the beach but as for me and buba it wasnt the same. We went to the egg hunt Saturday Mattie-man and Autumn found a egg with a dollar in it they thought they where rich. We had a good time. The only thing that would of made it better is if u was here. But I know u where up there watching down while 4 of ur babies was running all over.The other two was at the mudd races. Well Mattie-man Lena bug and Trent-man r going out to play so got to go. I Love u dad.

Dad we made our first trip to Florida with out you. it didnt seem right at all I kept asking mom if we where going the right wayshe would say yes we are. i guess we where cause we made it. it took 15 hours but we r here. we r going to take the kids to the beach in the morning. I hope we have as much fun as we did two years ago. Logan told his brother and sis that he would show them how to jump the waves like pawpa showed me. I thought he was to little to remember but as soon as he looked out the window and saw the ocean he said me and pawpa went there. we miss u dad so much I thought it would get easier but I think it is getting harder everyday.I am going to go so i can get rest for tommorrow. I know they will run me until i cant go anymore.(Like we us to do u when u came in of the truck.)I love you and miss you.
