Another year has passed and yet it seems like yesterday you were sitting in your chair watching tv and petting the cat. We shared so much not a day goes by that I don't think of you and remember all the fun we had even as we struggled with the challenges that we had. We always were able to find something to laugh about even in the darkest moments. Even now if I am having a bad day I remember our commitment that no matter how tough things get always find some humor. I miss you smiling face and loving kindness. I remember when you where in the hospital and we were walking around the halls and you told the nurse you were taking a stroll with you best girl. Even when I know you felt horrible you would always want to know what you could do for me to make things easier for me. You kindness is something that is rare and you were an exceptional person because of it. Very soon we will be grandparents, I so wish you were here to share in this with me. I know you will be watching. little Henry is due around your birthday and I secretly hope he is born on your birthday. I know you would be so excited. I miss you everyday and look forward to the day we are once again together. I love you always.
My dear husband. 4 years ago today you left us. Everyday I am thankful for the time we had together. The laughs that we shared and the love for one another. There are many times when one of those memories brings a smile to my face. The sound of you coming in the front door announcing up the stairs "Lucy I am home" the devilish grin you got on your face when you were teasing me. I miss you so much. You were a wonderful companion and you always made me feel loved. I look forward to the day we will be together again. I love you. Loren-e##imported-begin##Lorene Roth##imported-end##
My love, my bestfriend, not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts and the dreams of what could have been. I miss you more than words can describe. Know we will be together again one day.
?God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.##imported-begin##Mrs Lorene Roth##imported-end##
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Don's passing. This past year has been a struggle to get through and I want to thank everyone for their support. Tomorrow I am having a memorial gathering at the cemetery to honor Don. His physical presence has left us but his spirit lives on in us all. Join me at 10:00 Am if you can. I would enjoy the company. Thank you##imported-begin##Mrs Lorene Roth##imported-end##
Oh my. I was bartending at a golf club when we were hosting a party and I caught that one of the ladies there was from St. Helens. Had to stop and chat to see if we knew any of the same people and low and behold, Don, she was your neice. She told me what happened and it stunned me. The last time I saw you and Lorene, I had left Dockside and was working at the Country Inn. Lorene gave me shoes for my girls and you were in remission. I bawled my big fat head off. I didn't know you were sick again. My heart broke.
Prime rib. End cut. Fettucini. Clam Chowder. And an almond joy or Bv and coke. See? After all these years, I still remember.
I took the kids to try and find where they put ya, but couldn't find you. I thought maybe it was your sneaky way of driving me nuts as a last laugh. Well it worked you crazy man. I've never said so many foul words amongst the dead!! Funny funny.
Miss you.

Thankyou for making my Mom so happy. Thankyou for being so great to us through the years. It will be hard to make it through a visit home now without you. I always did like you, you know, despite what you may have thought.
Love, your partner in crime we really surprised her didn't we?,

To Don's family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Don through my brother-in-law, Randy. He volunteered to drive me in his classic car in a couple of parades within the county many years ago. I found him to be very sweet and sincere with a good sense of humor and a reserved demeanor. I'm truly sorry for your loss. May your memories of him bring you comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
