I visited the website you designed for your dad and i was most impressed with all the information and photos that were posted,your dad was definitely a very special man and one who's life made a big impression on other people.

The flowers in the garden were absolutely beautiful and i got a feeling of peace and tranquility just viewing the pictures that were posted there, a project like that takes a lot of time and work and you must have a great sense of pleasure sharing these moments with others like myself.

I am sending you a copy of a poem i relate to Jenny with and i hope it may give some comfort to you and your family.

Thanks again for letting me see the website.

One Year

One year has past since you were taken from us. There's not a day that goes by we don't think of you. There's a bridge of memories from here to Heaven above that keeps you very close to us, it's called The Bridge of Love. As time goes by without you and the days turn into years they hold a million memories and a thousand silent tears. To Us you are so special, what more is there to say except we wish with all our hearts, that you were here today. There will always be this heartache and often a silent tear. Please know that you are in our hearts and that you are never far away. We were so lucky to have you in our life, you gave us so much everyday. We shall cherish those precious memories of the days when you were here. Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away

Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day by Tami Blackwell Give 'em a hug, a great big kiss. Because one day, he will be greatly missed. My daddy has gone far away from this land, I miss the precious touch of his loving hands. I never knew last year was the last day,I could look at my daddy, hug him, and say:"I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!" Don't let one day go by without telling himhow dear he is! Remember you may not have another year to tell him this! All I have now is great memories, a heartfull of love and eyes full of tears, andto remember his love throughout the years. Now I will have to look up at the stars andsay, "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!" Please remember when you pray, to thank your heavenly father up above. For your father he gave you with so much love.

6 Months

Today marks the 6 month anniversary since my dad passed. 6 months of missing him, 6 months of wishing I could go back to "a year ago today".

Time, and what I've done with it, certainly helps to ease the pain a little, however I miss him more with each passing day. Never again will I come home and have him ask me how my day was, will he check my tires, bump into him at the mall, have him call me at work to tell me Ethan was coming over, smile at me, tell me a joke, get mad at the squirrels, gush over Ethan, I am no longer "Daddy's Little Girl" to anyone, something that unless you've been there is so hard to comprehend, understand.

A great man, loved and missed by so many. Nobody else will ever compare to him. Wish he was still here.

Love & Miss You, Dad.

GREATLY MISSED, BY AMY RICHARDS

A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.An empty house, An empty chair,A fathers love, No longer there.A broken heart, Tear filled eye,Another soul to fill the sky.Many memories in my mind,Some I laugh, Some I cry.

The times we shared, The laughs we had,Things I miss when I think of you Dad.Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,Only memories, Of what once was you.Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.No more smile on your face,No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...To have you Dad, here today,Never to leave your Daughter this way.A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!

A Time To Grieve, A Time To Heal (Author Unknown)

Have you ever noticed the many mixed-up Emotions involved in grieving? On the one hand you feel restless.On the other hand. You feel likeYou don’t want to move at all.

You feel desperately alone,And yet you don’t want anyone around.You feel scatterbrained, forgetful,And yet, frantically meticulous.You feel like crying at nothing.And sometimes laughing at anything.Being in a crowd of people is fineAs long as they don’t talk to you.And yet, if they don’t talk to youYou feel as if nobody cares.

You want so desperately for someoneTo mention your loved one,To remember the life that was.And yet it can make you furious ifAll they want to talk about is the dead one,And never mention the living ones.Grief settles over you like a hot blanket.You’re as cold as the winter snow.Grief presses on you like a steam roller.

You’re floating in a bubble above yourself.Grief boxes you in on four sides and introduces youTo a pain no one should have to know.But then, once again, you begin to feel compassion.You relate to other people who have had An experience similar to your own.And eventually, with a light as sharp as a sunburst,You hear yourself saying your loved one’s nameWith an unfamiliar smile on your face.You remember some of the funny times,And feel laughter building in your throat.

One morning you notice the sun is shining,The flowers are bursting with the colors of spring.Three seasons have passed unnoticed.....And, somehow, you are still here.Even though your loved one is still there.You feel your heart swell with a love You never even knew could exist.And you find a place in your lifeFor something called,Peace.........?

And then, ever so gently, the memoriesEnfold you in a warmth as soothing asA cool shower on a hot summer day,So you find you want to remember.And tender memories of love lift youTo unreachable heights,To the brightest of stars,To the loveliest touch of your father.
