 Merry Christmas Sis!

Can you believe another year of anticipating Santa has just passed?  Did he bring you something on your top ten list? 

Christmas Day is full of memories for me. Thinking of all the fun times we had together, thinking of all the things you did for me. I never got a chance to thank you for being my sister. Partly, I really did not realize just what you did for me until many years later.

I sure hope you are laughing at me and Dave rambling on about things. Sure miss you!

Love

 Merry Christmas Ang!!

I cannot believe I missed writing to you last Christmas. Humans....so preoccupied with life and themselves. Gee what's up with that!! I sure have not forgotten you! I miss you every day.

Well, I bet you already know as you, Dad and maybe even Mom are getting ready for Christmas, but Dad passed away this morning around 3 am. He always was an early bird! That darn stroke and head/neck injury got the best of him. The good thing for him is that he did not linger long. He was starting to have some health issues that are age associated. Wow, is that what Dave and I have to look forward to?

A little story.....Freaky thing is that around 3:00 am, I woke up. As I turned to look at the clock, I could swear I saw the upper part of dad looking at me kinda transparent over an airplane picture on the wall. I closed my blinked my eyes as I could not really believe what I was seeing. When my eyes opened he was gone. Just a few minutes later I got the call that he had passed. Ok, now I truly believe when people talk about that. I wish he would have stuck around a bit. Maybe I'll see him tonight!

I haven't spoken to any of your kids for a long time. Jennifer has a lot of anger about your passing and of the Spring family. She let me have it one day a couple of years ago as she made it clear how she felt about us. I watch them on Facebook regularly and they seem to be doing well. Your Grandkids have gotten so big and really love wrestling. See how much of an influence you were?

I promise not to wait so long to write in the future. Dave and I will carry on as best we can. Our family has dwindled to the two of us. Wish we were all still here in person but I know you, Mom and Dad are here with us every day whether we realize it or not.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Angie!!

Merry Belated Christmas Angie!

Oh my gosh, I am getting old. Christmas came and went. 2020is just around the corner.

This year flew by so fast! I am really enjoying retirement now and taking more bird pictures. I think you would like them and might have even come along a time or two!

Your kids miss you so very much. They are doing fantastic, but miss their mother dearly.

I still think about your nearly every day. Life is grand, just not as grand without you around.

Love

Ho Ho Ho!!! Merry Christmas 2018 Ang!!

Wow, another year has flown by. Who knew time would just seem to get shorter and shorter!

Santa came by and we had quite a chat about you. How much you are missed and how good your kids are doing.  You would be so proud of each of them. But of course you know that! Ha, who am I? (LOL).

Things are going well and retirement is a blast. Still taking tons of photos. I think many times how much it fun it would be to have you go along on the treks around town. Just getting out is so much of the fun.

I think about you so often and miss you very much. You are missed by so many people.

Merry Christmas!!

Wow, another year has flown by. Santa came by as usual and we chatted about you. He misses you too.

Life is good. Have been retired for a year and a half now, thanks to Alice. Just loving it. Taking lots of bird pictures. You would have a blast going out and seeing all the critters. So much fun.

Your kids seem to be doing well and happy.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Ang!!

7 years has zoomed by. WOW. Alice and I were watching a concert by a couple of Irish singers Neil Byrne and Ryan Kelly. They had a new Christmas song and I was thinking of you. All the great times and Christmas' together as kids and adults. That brother and sister bond never broken, never forgotten and always cherished.

You would be so very proud of your kids. They are doing well. Ok more than well, they are doing fantastic.  Like me, they miss you and think of you most every day.

You are never forgotten. I love you and miss you.
