It's been a year and so much has happened that I wish I could tell you...Ryley just had his party. We did it at Janes. I miss going there just to talk and for you to tease me about my choice of food before meetings and appointments. I miss watching the hallmark movies and our debates over how I thought they were fake and you would say "with an open mind, heart and a little trust the magic could be real." I'm trying everyday dad, I am...I miss you.
Love you always.

From Theresa-Marie to her father:
Losing you so fast has left a giant hole in my heart. I wanted more time, but I'm trying to find comfort in the fact that you are no longer in pain. I have so many precious memories it's hard to capture just a few in words.
I know it's silly, but those trips to the gas station to get the paper and a donut meant the world to me. I remember countless nights, sitting at the kitchen table, smoking cigarettes and talking for hours. You helped me with homework, taught me about life and always had a joke or funny little story to share.
Only you were brave enough to get in the van and teach me how to drive. Even after I took that corner in Hazelgreen going way to fast and nearly drove us into someone's front yard. I challenged you every step of the way, but your love for me never wavered.
I still remember the road trip to Texas that ended with me being dropped off. You told me I could come home in 6 months if it didn't work out, but that push was all I needed to find my own way. I didn't understand it back then, but it all makes sense now. You wanted me to spread my wings and fly like you knew I could if I just believed in myself.
The love you had for my mother was like none that I've ever seen before. Family was everything, even if it meant driving across the country every time you got a day off just to visit the people we loved. You taught me how to be strong, always making sure to put family first. You've told me so many times how proud you are of me, but what you didn't realize is that I am who I am because of you and mom.
The last 4 months have been the hardest, but I'm grateful for that time. All the phone calls and visits brought us closer than ever before. It gave me time to put things into perspective and find closure for old wounds. It gave me time to shower you with love, to hold your hand when you got scared and to cry with you when it got to be too much.
Thank you for all the sacrifices that you made to keep a roof over our heads, food in our bellies and love in our hearts. Thank you for being there no matter what I did wrong. Thank you for making the tough decisions when no one else could and for pushing me to be strong when I didn't have faith in myself.
I will always cherish our talks and the many laughs along the way. Thank you for opening your heart and being a father to my husband Daniel, who lost his at a very young age. Thank you for being the best grandfather a daughter could ask for, to my two amazing boys. Kaden and Colton will always have those memories with their Grandpa Mike. I love you daddy, more than words could ever say!

I miss you more each day.
Hello again,
I have been avoiding thinking about you because every time that I do, I feel as if a fraction of my life begins to crumble again. Of course I know that this is selfish, and of course I think of you daily. Every day something happens that I wish I could tell you, and it is hard to accept that I will not be able to call you and fill you in anymore. This, of course, does not mean that I don’t know that you are with me every step of the way on the journey that life takes me on, it just seems unfair to not be able to hear your voice and your opinions on the matter.
I dreamed as if we would have forever, and constantly let it slip my mind that we did not. We built lives involving one another, and it seemed impossible that one day I would have to let that go. You lived much of a life without me in it, but for the first time, I have to live mine without you. It will definitely be an adjustment, one I obviously do not want to make, but one that I know I have to.
You were such an amazing person, and I know that every day you woke up with a smile on your face and made sure that you would live that day to the fullest that you could. You worked hard to make others happy, but never lost sight of what made you happy -- which mostly went hand in hand with making others happy. I see a lot of you in myself, and strive to live every day as you would, and in your honor. I always have, and always will strive to be at least half of the person that you were, because I know that by doing that I will make a difference in the world.
I wonder what it is like up there, and although I miss you more and more each day I know that this was better for you in the end. I know that you are at peace and that you are no longer suffering. I hope that each day now is spent doing everything you have always loved, and looking down on all of us smiling.
But none of this will ever mean that I do not miss you, because I do, and I will, every day for the rest of my life. You were more than loved, you were cherished, and I am grateful to have even been able to spend this time with you. The world seems a little bit darker now, but I know that as the light returns you will remain in our hearts and will continue to be a part of our lives. You were loved by so so many people, and it was a dreadful day for everyone to see you go.
Thank you for being so much to me, and for being a part of my life. I appreciate every little thing you have ever done, because it was all done with love. Thank you for living your life as you did because without you I would have lost a part of my inspiration, and so would many others. Thank you for inspiring, and thank you for dreaming.
You will always be loved, and live in infamy in our hearts.
This is never goodbye, but always see you later.
Love Always,
Your loved one

Today is your 60th Birthday my Love and the kids found this old photo of us the year before you retired. You without your mustache which was really hard to live without that year LOL, all the years we had been together you at least had the mustache :)
I found a poem that was on the back of the Marriage Encounter brochure that we attended 10 years or so ago and it goes like this:
I LOVE YOU
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you
I love you
Not only for what you have made of yourself
But for what you are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me that you bring out.
I love you
for putting your hand into my heaped up heart
And passing over all the foolish weak things-
That you can't help dimly seeing there.
And drawing out into the light
All the Beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
quite far enough to find.
I love you because you are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern,, but a temple;
Out of my works, of my every day
Not a reproach, but a song.
I love you.
Because you have done
More than any creed could have done
To make me feel my goodness.
You have done it
With you touch,
With your words,
With yourself.
I Love you, Michael Bennett Memorial and Happy Birthday in heaven, I will see you soon.

Baby, I never thought that I would be placing this on your wall, now we will all be able to read this for our life time and hopefully gain comfort from the words below. I love you <3
Broken Chain
We little knew that day
God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn’t go alone,
for a part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
We’re left with loving memories
of the time we had with you,
and feel your love around us
in everything we do.
Our family chain is broken
and our lives are not the same,
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again.

Deepest condolences to all of Mickey's cherished family members. Mickey was my cousin on my Dad's side. While I had not seen Mickey in several years I have such fond childhood memories of when our families would get together. His service and dedication to his country speaks volumes as to the kind of man he was. May God Bless and be with each of Mickey's loved ones during this very difficult time.
Love and prayers,

I will not write condolences because your were a very special man who made me laugh, made me angry at times, but always loved me. You told me to behave and you would quirk your eyebrows at me showing me that I had over stepped, but you loved me and you showed it to me every single day with your humor, your words, and your ever lasting love <3
