Hi Honey. It has been 3 years ago todaY that our Heavenly Father called you home. I know you are in paradise - just know I love you and miss you every day.

Hi honey. HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY!!!! I hope you are looking down and seeing that I am doing somewhat ok. I have been missing your voice so much and today, I was in my photos and it pulled up several videos of trips and other days where you were filming and there was your voice on quite a few. These will now comfort me on days to come. I truly believe this was your anniversary present to me. I thought a lot today about our many years together and would not have changed a day of it. I love you.

Hi my love. I tried to write this yesterday but the submittal did not go through so I am going to try to recreate it. Today is exactly 1 year ago that you left this earthly world and Jen, Scott, Dori and I and a slew of friends and entered into our Father\'s kingdom (higher). We all think of you every day. It was a really hard week knowing the date was coming but when it did, Jen and I drove around town to all of our houses and her schools and shared many wonderful memories. We laughed and tried to make it more of a celebration than continual funeral. I think you would have liked that. The one thing we could not remember was the name of her \"red\" preschool on Decatur. If you can help us out by giving us a sign, it would be very special. Scott sent me a beautiful arrangement of flowers with the kindest of cards and many friends remembered the date and offered their support and love. We are truly blessed my wonderful husband. I love you so much and I hope you know that.

January 10th, 2022. It is now 11 months since you entered God\'s Kingdom. Karlynn recently entered his Kingdom as well on 12/31 and I hope that you were there to welcome her arrival. She said she was going to find you upon arrival and you and she would have a really long talk. I believe that happened. Well, the virus that took you away from me is still raging and there are 850,000+ others who were taken by it. If only you had been able to get the vaccine in time. Dori and I miss you very much. There is not a day that goes by when you are not on my mind. The strength that only our loving God can give me is what carries me forward. I love you so much. Give my Mom and Dad, Jeannie, your Mom and Dad and Elmer hugs from me.

Merry Christmas Tom. It is the first one without you here by my side. I know that there is probably a celebration in heaven today commemorating the birth of the Christ and I know that you are blessed to be a witness to that. I hope that you are able to gather my Mom and Dad, your Mom and Dad, Jeannie and Elmer and that you can see the two sparkling trees I put up in the backyard for all of you. I am so sorry that I could not get to the cemetary this year to do my normal tradition because driving was not possible with my eye, but you already know that don\'t you. I hope these little trees will make you all smile this year. I love you and I hope you know that the tears I am shedding are because I was left behind but they are also happy tears that you are experiencing Paradise.

Hi my love. It has been 10 months since you left this earthly world and entered into God\'s glorious kingdom. I miss you so much but you know that because you are right by my side every step of the way. You know everything from the house improvements I have made to the fun times Dori has with her playmate Baxter. We are going to Mezzo on Monday to celebrate your birthday and I know you will be there with me also. I love you. Kiss all the babies at Rainbow Bridge for me.

Hi Tom - today marks 9 months since your passing into God\'s Kingdom. They say it gets easier with time, but right now it is still the same hurt and loss as day 1. I\'m working on my daily life with God\'s help and I know that you are watching over Dori and I as I feel your great presence in the smallest of things. The next two months will be hard as it is the first Thanksgiving, your birthday and Christmas/New Years without you here but in my heart you will be. I love and miss you.

Hi my love. It is 8 months today that you left this earthly world. I miss you more than you could possibly know. Dori and I are going to watch the Bills tonight as this is the first time they have been on regular tv and I can watch. They are doing really well this year and I am sure you are the biggest cheerleader in Heaven. I love you and hope you know that.

Hi Babe. Today is 6 months. I would like to be able to say that it has gotten easier, however, I would not be telling the truth. So many changes over these past 6 months, but I know you already know them. The virus is out of control again and I just wish that people would cooperate and take the proper measures to keep themselves and others safe. They have the ability to ward off what happened to us but they don\'t see it. Keep watching over all of us and I will try to focus on the many, many great memories. I love you

Hi babe. Happy Father\'s Day. Jen, Scott and I went to your favorite restaurant today and shared our love for you. I miss you so much Dori has been playing with another doodle named Baxter and they are best friends/ But you already know that don\'t you because you are watching over us.

Dori and I miss you so much. Hope Heaven is all you expected it to be.

Missing you.

Our sincere condolences for your loss.
