Tomorrow will be one year !  / Alice Whiteside-Morris (Daughter)
Dad, 8:49 am tomorrow is going to be a sad day for me.  I have spent most of my day watching videos of you, and crying of course, just wishing that you were still here with us.  I watched you dance with Mom on your 36th Wedding Anniversary.  Time sure flew by fast..  and it hasn't gotten any easier.  My life just feels so empty without you here in it.  My biggest regret is that I didn't spend more time with you.  I always thought that you would be here with us for a long time.  I guess 64 yrs was a long time to you, but it wasn't to me.  It's so hard to write this and not cry Dad, I miss you so much.  Christmas just won't be the same without you here, all the laughter that went on in that house has ended. It was as though life ended in that house when you died.   Mom's never there anymore, and it just don't feel like home.  It's an empty house.  We need to hear your laughter in it again, and to see all your grandkids running through there. 
Today is Chrissy's birthday, and I am certain it's going to be hard on her today as well as tomorrow.  Be with us in spirit to help ease the pain of the coming days.
I love you Dad....  Alice Kay Close

You think I cry all the time because your not here..  I'd be lost without Sue.  She's a real trooper and hanging in there, even though you can see the fear and tears in her eyes.  Dad, please watch over her and cure her of this awful ugly disease.

smiles / Melissa Kerbyson (Morris) (cousin)
Every time I think back to those younger years and remember begging my mom to "please stop,  just for a little while".  It always puts a smile on my face.  There was always happiness and laughter in your home.  The door was always open and a welcoming smile was on your face.  I really can't ever remember your not having a smile on your face.  Thank you for those beautiful memorys.  After all,  that's really all we can leave each other isn't it? Love, Melissa

In the Arms of Jesus  / Alice Morris-Whiteside (Daughter)
 

Girls please don't look so sad

and please don't cry.
Cause I am in  the arms of Jesus

and I now have wings so I can fly.

Please try not to question God,
don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you
and then He changed His mind.

You see, I am so special
and was needed up above.
I'm the special gift he needed
The product of his love.

I'll always be there with you,
and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
that's my halo shining bright.

You'll see me in the morning frost
that mists your windowpane.
That's me, in the summer showers,
I'm now dancing in the rain.

When you feel a gentle breeze
from a gentle wind that blows,
That's me!  I'll be there,
planting a kiss upon your nose.

When you see a father and child playing

and your heart feels a little tug...
That's me!  I'll be there,
giving your heart a special hug.

So, girls please don't look so sad,
and please don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus now
 I have wings and I can fly.

Missing You  / Alice Whiteside-Morris (Daughter)
Hey Dad,  I just wanted to look at your pictures again, and let you know how much I miss you.  Also Dad, Sue is going to the Doctor on Monday.  Watch over her and protect her.  She was always the mother to us growing up.  I wouldn't know what to do if I lost her to. So, I know your in heaven.. so go have a talk with the big guy.. and Heal her of anything that is wrong with her.  Because, if something happens to her I wouldn't have anyone to pester anymore.. I'd have to call Judy, and god knows she's a blonde, and it would take her a day to get the joke..  ! 
Wish you were here Pop !! I miss you so much... Close

6 Months  / Alice Whiteside_Morris (Daughter)
well dad, today makes 6 months..  they say that over time it will get easier, well i don't think that is so.  with so much of my everday life, you are a part of it, and i can't help but be selfish and cry for you and wish you were here with us still. god took you from us at a time when we needed you the most in our lives. i have to call sue and judy now to tell them my jokes, and about the stupid things i do to make you laugh. sometimes it seems as though my life means nothing without you in it.  your tombstone came in yesterday and sue and judy will take it to your grave.  it's nothing special, but it will do until we can put a big one there for you and mom. 
i miss you more and more with each passing day dad, and not a moment goes by that your not in my thoughts.  i can't help but shed a few tears wishing you were still here.  i love you dad, and i miss you so much. Close

To My One and Only Daddy  / Judy Coonrod (Daughter #2)

Daddy you were a wonderful person and a terrific daddy to me you didn't have to be but you was. There is not to many men who will take on someone elses children and raise them and treat them as there own. But you did, I always thought you knew everything if I had a question or a problem I would say I'm calling dad. Well after  the lord took you  home I was doing something and I said let me call dad and see if he thinks this is ok and I realized my dad was not a phone call away anymore. I miss you so much. I still feel like you are here with us though. I can hear you laughing and saying well I don't know go look it up. You were one of the best men I have ever known. You might not of said in words alot that you loved us but you sure did show it and we always knew it that is for sure. I am so thankful that mom found you that 43 years ago and you were my dad. Everytime I would have problems you always would tell me to just come on home that the house was ours and we would always have a place to go as long as you and mom were living. I know a couple times you would see me coming in the door with a bag and you would say oh lord you moving back in, go lock the upstairs and laugh. You could always make me laugh with your silly jokes you might have to explain them to me sometimes cause It would take me a little bit to get them, you would just shake your head and laugh. I will always treasure the times we had together like when we was making those quilts me, you or mom none of us was able to get on the floor under the quilting rack but we did and we had a good time, you would have to go take a coffee break and smoke and maybe a little nap then you would be back. I don't understand why you had to leave us so young but I will always treasure the times we had and the last few months we had with you was something I would not trade for anything, It was hard watching you go down so fast and be in so much pain, knowing that there was nothing we could do for you but try to keep you as comfortable as possibe and give you your medicine. I would not of done it any other way you are my dad and I am so blessed that I got to help take care of you, you took care of me enough times it was time for me to do for you and I Thank God for the time we did have with you. I will always remember you telling us girls to shut our eyes and mouth at the same time and get to sleep just like when we were little kids, we still laugh about that. I am so glad that my kids got to know you and just wish my grandchildren were old enough that they would remember you but I know the little mean boy and the little fat girl as you called them are not.  So we will just have to tell them stories about you and show them pictures of you. I miss you daddy and I love you very much. Mom is fine I told you we would take care of her.  I love you and miss you. 
Your #2 Daughter Judy Lynn
