Dear Grady
The kids and I have missed you for almost four years now. You were a great team player for our family. I miss your jokes and your smile. We were married a really long time and even after our divorce we were a team and a family. Thank you for everything you did for the kids and I over the years. I hasn’t been the same without you. Rest In Peace.
Emily Marshall
Dear Daddy,
It’s now almost 4 years that you’ve been gone. I just turned 14 when you passed, now I’m almost 18. I wish you could have seen me grow like the rest of the kids. I loved our cuddles and trips to the dump listening to your music. The most important thing I miss is how you always took care of us. Always supported our choices. Always made us happy. I’m almost a certified dog trainer, so I can open a business like you. I’m also now going to MCC for criminal justice. I want to help people like you did for us. You were such a hard worker, even when your childhood didn’t set you up for success. Ernie and mom miss you a lot, everyone does. Your family has stopped talking to us. They stole your things from us. All we have is each other now, but that’s okay. I know you. I know you would be with us over anyone any day. You loved mom your whole life, even after the divorce. You two are an inspirational story of love. You were the best dad, nobody will ever replace you. I love and miss you so much daddy. I’ll make you proud. I promise.
