Dad,
I love you and you will be missed every day. Our family will never be the same without you. I am so thankful for the time we had with you. Rest now and I will see you again.I LOVE YOU.

Johnny,
From the first time we met, you showed nothing but kindness and welcomed me into your family. I will always be grateful for that! I see that your family loves you and misses you terribly; but I also see that they are taking comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain and agony, but are in a MUCH better place than we are!
Look for MY dad up there. I'm sure he's somewhere being the center of attention. I'm sure you two will get along great. He's a hilarious man, liked to hunt, and loved his family just like you!
Don't worry about Marilyn, she has the entire family as a support backbone. Don't worry about your daughters, they have wonderful husbands. Don't worry about your son, I'm right here by his side! Don't worry about the grand kids or the great-grand kids, they have nothing but fond memories of you being a great papaw.
We will see you again, so I'm not going to say "goodbye". Let's say, "I'll see you later."
Rest up, we love you!
