My Dad. There is so much that could be said, so many stories that could be told. I am grateful that you set a great example for me growing up. You encouraged me, inspired me, and taught me so much. I will miss you terribly. Having been through a very rocky childhood, to say the least, you were that solid foundation that was always there. I'll miss your stories, your laugh and your wisdom. I'm sad now but feel confident that I will see you again someday. I love you Dad.

My Dad was a great Dad, whenever i needed anything he was there, helping me, without question. When i was little, i had thought someone had written the character of Popeye in his image. I want to say so many things about my Dad, but listed below are the words, i could swear, were written for him. Nobody can say it better than Frank, so if you knew my Dad, this song describes him the best........... And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way. For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! Yes, it was my way. {Thank You DAD, for doing it Your Way. WE wouldn't have had it, any other way! I love you}.

Dear Grandpa, I miss you and I will miss the cards that you had sent me now I wish to send you this small poem, You have to take the good with the bad, Smile when you're sad, Love what you've got, And remember what you had, Always forgive but never forget, Learn from your mistakes, But never regret, People will change, Things will go wrong, But always remember that life will go on. I Love You Grandpa and we will all miss you ^_^

DEAR DAD, I CAN ONLY BE GRATEFUL THAT GOD ALLOWED ME TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE AS LONG AS HE DID. YOU WERE ALWAYS MY BIGGEST SUPPORTER IN MY LIFE. OH, HOW I WILL MISS ALL OUR TALKS WE HAD ALMOST EVERYDAY AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN. IT WILL BE SO DIFFICULT NOT TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP THE PHONE TO CALL YOU ANYMORE. DO NOT WORRY DAD, I AM GRANTING EVERYTHING YOU ASKED FOR AND MORE. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
