Grandpa,
I miss you so much. I keep saying “I wish I could talk to him just one more time.” I loved our phone conversations. I could talk to you about anything—from teaching, to politics, to cooking—and you’d always give me good advice, or, if you weren’t sure, you’d be sure I’d end up laughing.
One of my favorite memories of you is from the Ellington house. I was about 8 and I was over visiting. We were at the table playing and I was trying to draw one of your dolls in the corner of the kitchen, you know the one that was playing hide-and-go-seek? Well, I was getting upset because I couldn’t figure out how to draw her so you came over and said, “it’s alright. Takes time. It’s like this, watch me.” I watched you draw her and then I copied your same picture. You reminded me that it’s okay not to be good at something when you first try and to not give up and keep getting better. I’ve held onto that with my art, with my schooling, and with whatever I struggle with in life. I can’t speak for everyone, but you taught me invaluable lessons about life that I will never forget and I’ll make sure my children know. I will miss you always and forever, but I’m sure that I will see you again. I can’t wait to get up there and go scooter riding with you. I hope you can keep up! I love you, Grandpa.
The glue, the foundation of this beautiful crazy clan! Grandpa, I really don't know what to say. I wasn't prepared for another loss. I miss you, your laugh, and most of all your smile. You always knew what to say to make us laugh. And it was so clear on the faces of all the kids how much they loved you back. From day 1, you always treated me like one of the grandkids. You came to every function and made sure to bring something to handmade along with you for a memory. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to Ceci, because G-pa was the best! I will never ever forget one time at breakfast I had been really upset, telling you and Grammy about a recent heartache I had been thru. And you told me that no relationship is easy, but the ones that are worth it are worth fighting for. As you squeezed Grammy's hand from across the table, and she rolled her eyes and laughed. I am going to miss you so much, and so will C. She knows about heaven and she prays all the time, we will include you in our daily prayers. I will love you always ❤️both grand C's ❤️
Dad I am at a loss for words and I am still hoping I wake up and this is all just a horrible nightmare. I have never been good about writing but I just want to say that I am going to miss you so much I keep asking myself why but truly understand what you were feeling . I will always cherish all the great memories you gave us as children you allowing me to attend dance school for so many years of my life all of the great times we spent at the snip fishing The time I casted my pole and almost ripped your eye out thank God for the hat on your head and the tongue that you used to put under your lip when you got mad and said Goddamnit Also all of the awesome times we had at Northwood Lake my wedding day when you went water skiing with your tux on then the time you Ripped me down the backyard on your anficat at the time I didn’t know it floated and you went flying across the yard and then into the lake I thought we were going to sink but you of course in your jokes I didn’t know it floated. And all she could do is laugh your ass off ! I could go on forever with a lifetime of memories and not one of them I could ever say was bad you gave me the best step mom I could ever ask for two sisters cindy christy and my brother Tony you gave me that brother I always wanted being stuck with just all sisters I am truly blessed and will forever take care of Kathy with my every breath you will never need to worry about her because we all love her so much and will always be there for her. I am so glad I spoke with you Friday for two hours on the phone I promise you I will slow down take care of myself that’s all you ever wanted is for me to slow down. Every time we talked you were always telling me that I was working too much I am going to truly miss you whenever I was feeling down you would push me back up And say your a snow. Until we meet again I just wanted to say I love you daddy forever and always your daughter Kammy ❤️❤️
My first attempt to make turkey gravy came out like a lump of mud. I was pretty disappointed and he ate it anyway and said now you know what not to do and next time it will come out better. I love you Dad, and am going to miss you.
Dad. I have so many great memories of you and I. Taking me fishing and i didn't know how to swim I fell in the water and here comes dad with his short little legs running the railroad track's to save me. Snowmobiling across northwood lake getting soaked because the snow was melting on the ice. You trying to teach me fractions oh that was fun lol. Buying me a lounger for my birthday for the lake because I could not stand to touch the bottom of the lake. The day renee and i took the boat with no motor on it and the wind drifted us down the lake and we hear a boat coming and sure enough there you were mad as hell because you were scared something happened to us. Playing in the back yard with us , wrestling, fixing the van so we could sleep in it with our friends oh there's so many to mention. But the one best memory I have is your love. The love you had for me, your guiding hand, you teaching me how to be a strong women. I can not express how greatful I am for everything you did for me. You treated me just like i was your own. I thank you for being my dad and bringing so much happiness to my life. Thank you for loving my mother like you did. Most of all I want you to know that I knew how much you loved me and that you did everything for me. Im not sure how I'm going to get threw this but what I am sure of is I LOVE YOU and will miss you with with all my heart and more. Forever and always your baby girl.
