    D-A-D my heart bleeds with tears of love and gratitude. You are the best father in the world. And I am so glad you are mine. I kept my promise to mom that I would take care of you and I hope I did ok. Now you are with mom again and that lessens the pain of loosing you. Please watch over me until we meet again. I love you more than anything in this world and always will. Love Jennifer

    Dad,
    Thank you for all the memories! You took me in Day 1 and have always treated me like a son. I will always treasure our discussions whether it was gardening, crabbing, hunting, or just life. You were there for me when Pop passed away last year. Now that I have lost both of my Dads, I will have to apply all the life lessons you both taught me. You will always be in my memories. I will have the first tomato out of my garden this summer with a little salt just for you. Love, Greg

    Memories tend to fade over time but love never does. Lessons taught and learned and the love you shared will live in your hearts forever. Draw strength from your family and friends today, in the days ahead draw your strength from the amazing man your father, grandfather and great grandfather is, was and always will be.
    Love and prayers to you all.

    You and Betty were more than neighbors or friends to me. In my heart you were family. You will be missed. I know for sure you are back with Betty resting comfortably. She will be completing your sentences and filling in the blanks of your stories. I can see your home on Juliane drive from my computer right now. There you and Betty are sitting waving at me ..Telling me its ok dear…I was a perfect stranger one day then we would chat as my kids rode there bikes past your home and next thing your family. Always giving me and my children your love and support through everything.I miss you both a lot… I wont say goodbye but rather..Till we meet again dear friend rest peacefully. Love and Hugs…Jodi

    Mr. Rainey, (Pop), Gary and I met you and Betty at Greg and Lisa’s wedding. We shared a table together and had dinner while getting to know each other.
