Can’t believe you are gone Dad… you were the strongest man I ever knew… strong in your love for all of us.

You are the true definition of “unconditional love “ I will keep you in my heart forever, love you dearly and forever ❤️
so sorry I wasn’t there to be able to say good bye. I want to thank you for the life you gave to mom and choosing to be our dad, it takes a special man to love us all unconditionally the way you did.

It is so sad that we have to say farewell to a great man. He was the best brother in law that anyone could ask for. He will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.
Dear Ella and family. Yes, Wes is not here with us anymore. However, he lives forever in our memory. Wes was a great companion to my husband John. Somehow they clicked and appreciated each other. Wes was helping John, and vice versa. We miss him…
Ella, know that I am there for you. We will not see each other across the hall, but I am there if you need to talk. I have become quite fond of you and hope to see you again. With all my love, Marianne van den Heuvel
Love you Dad, looking forward to our chats at night.

Dad u were the best dad ever. You will be greatly missed. Love you with all my heart. This isn’t good bye it’s until we meet again. Love and miss you.
Papa,
There are no words. No great word to describe how I feel or how much I miss you. There is a quote I heard once. “When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure”. You are a treasure for me Papa. I love you very much and miss you even more.
