A Tribute to My Father: In the arms of the angels, Fly away from here. From your dark, cold hospital room And the endlessness that you feel. You were pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie. In the arms of the angels May you find some comfort there. Dad, you are and always will be my hero. It has been two years now and still we are lost without you. Nothing is the same, nothing will ever be the same. I will do my best to fill your shoes, shoes that I know I am not fit to fill. I will keep our family together somehow, no matter what happens. I pray that you are happy and whole once again, free of pain, suffering, heartache and loneliness. Finally, I vow to do everything that I can to banish this dreadful disease from our family so that we never have to watch another suffer the way you did. For anyone reading this, please don't take diabetes lightly. It is a serious disease that can eat away at the body and/or the mind, even though the doctors tell you to just take a little pill and everything will be fine. Dad, you were a policeman who put his life on the line for others, you were a wonderful, selfless and compassionate husband and father, and you were a friend to all who knew you. Because of you, the world is a better place. Until our joyous reunion, Dad, All My Love, Linda

In loving memory of my beloved husband

TO OUR DADDY....... we miss you and love you very much. Another Christmas is coming and we wish you were here with us. WE LOVE YOU, Desiree, Deirdre, and Karli

Missing my son is constant and heartbreaking. He was the light of my life with his sweetness and love. He is so missed by us; his wife and two sons, his sister and nephew, his father and step father, and me, his Mom. Frankie was so loved by so many and having the fortunate blessing of him being in our lives for those short twenty-nine years is so precious. I ache to hold him in my arms and tell him how much I love him....I'm striving to understand why he was taken from us....I miss & love him so! I'm trying to have faith that I will see him again. Mom loves you Frankie!
