I miss you so much every moment of every day. I miss all the little things. I miss hearin "Hey Bird!". I miss looking down the bowling alley to see you at the other end. I miss you breakin out in a little dance or the jig in front of us. I miss hearing you sing "Good mornin". I miss talking about Taste of Joliet and you asking me 5000 times who the band is. I could go on and on forever, I have a lifetime of memories. I love you and miss you Dad!

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do too. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain, but you're forever in my heart.....until we meet again. I miss you. I see the cardinal. I hear your voice....I know you are with me always. Love you.

"The sunrise insists on gladness... But how can I be glad, now my flower is dead. Oh sun, I see you happy. You made the morning dew, now you're showing me the truth, I don't want to believe you."

I will love and think about you forever, Grandpa. I'll keep watching for you in the signs.

I've wanted to light a candle..but I haven't been able to pray or find the words. And then today I realized it has been 6 months since you left us. I cannot believe you have not been by my side in this world for 6 months, and that I am in the start of a new year that you will not see. I have to tell you that I am sorry...at the hospital I told you that if you needed to go that I would understand and that I would be ok..and then so suddenly we were in that last moment...and I cried and begged you not to leave me...I was being selfish, wanting you to stay. For I was the lucky on in our marriage...you gave me 45 years of love, laughter, support and friendship. I know in my head it was time for you to go..to leave behind all your physical woes and struggles....I'm just having trouble getting my heart on the same page. Surely God knows what a good, kind, decent man you were. I have been so blessed to have had you in my life. Thank you for always taking care of me. I shall miss you always...and love you still. Rest in peace.

Miss you so much. I think of you every day.

Thinking of you at Christmastime and every day, Willie. Love you.

It's been 4 months today. I miss you every moment of every day. Time doesn't make the loss any easier, but life goes on just not as bright as before. I have so many wonderful memories. I thought about the day we put the grill together for Jake's trip in June.....how we laughed and bickered and had to take it apart and put it together twice because we put it together backwards. I can't help but think of you and smile. I miss you, I love you.

I miss you so much!

Wilbur was a truly dedicated and devoted husband,father,grandfather,uncle and friend. The loss of such a great man to so many who loved him is devastating. You will never be forgotten.

I love you Dad, and miss you terribly.

Rest In Peace, Willie. I will think of you every day.

We were truly blessed to have shared so many memories with Willy.There were so many adventures we shared we cant even pick a favorite one.we will cherish all of them. Whenever we needed assistance with anything he was always there to help out! We cannot thank him enough for everything and the huge impact he had on our family. He is definitely the brightest star in Heaven.
