hi dad, well we got through christmas and new year, not without tears and you were very much in our thoughts. Its a true saying that time stands still for no one and as it is coming up to the first anniversary of you being taken from us i realise how true this is. It only feel like yesterday that you were so suddenly taken and yet it will be one whole year soon. The pain eases, but never fully goes away, and there are always constant reminders of you everywhere wheather it b a song or even just the arrival of summer because you loved your garden so much. Well dad i just want you to know that i love and miss you, and the kids send their love especially jack who misses you so much. I will write to you again soon, until then sleep well daddy.xxxx

hi papa bear, its now coming up to nine months since you passed over and not a day goes by without you being in my thoughts. Christmas is fast approaching, it will be the first year without you and i know all the family will be finding it hard not to have you with us. New year will be especially hard as i spent it with you last year not knowing it would be the last we were to spend with you. There is so much i wish i would of said to you when you were alive and i now realise that life is to short,and if you need to say somthing then just say it. I do hope that you know how much i loved you and still do dad.You were a wonderful father to me and i know in your own way that you loved me. I sincerely hope with all of my being that you are happy in the arms of the angels and i feel safe in the fact that i know you are looking after us all. Good nite and god bless u daddy, love and hugs always from your daughter karen.xxxxxxx
