Grandad, I will always remember our trips together on the bus, your jokes & funny stories. I'm going to miss the occasional call from you to fix the computer or tv. You were so loving all the time. I Love you always. Your Granson, Michael

Granddad, I love you and will miss you. I'm glad that Cameron will have the memories of sitting with you at the computer and listening to your music. I wish Brayden could've gotten to know you more. I love you.- Your granddaughter. Melissa

Tom, I did love you even though there were times you drove me up a wall, and I am sure I did the same to you. Thank you for being my children's Father and taking care of us. I am thankful to God for releasing you from your pain. I will miss you for the rest of my short journey here on this Earth. I will love you forever. Your Wife Forever, Helen.

Driving home tonight I was reminded of you when I saw the moon & I had to sing I see the moon, And the moon sees me. Peeking through that old oak tree, Please let the light that shines on me, Shine on the one that I love I miss you so much
