Dec 26, 2011 Its the day after Christmas. You are in my thoughts again. Grandma and I were laughing earlier at supper remembering all the stories you would tell us. About how you told Grandma you were going to marry someone with the initials SL when you first met her, not realizing Grandma's name starts with a C. The family got together at the hall yesterday, I couldn't make it because of work. I heard it was wonderful, although its not the same without you. I know you hear me praying to you. I know you watch over what is most precious to me. I know you are proud to see your first Great grandchild start college. I know you are proud to see your "walking girl" grow into a beautiful young lady. There's not too many people they can depend on, it gives me hope to know you're watching over them. I truly believe you heard me when I told you I was so tired of being alone. So exhausted from the emptiness. I am so thankful that I've found Mike. So different from anything I've known. We miss you Papa. We love you Papa. xxxooo

Hi Dad. Thank you for watching over the kids yesterday. The mass on Jessica's jaw bone is Benign. Such a relief for us; she still needs surgery; but we can handle that part of the journey. I know we were in your thoughts yesterday and we needed you there with us. SOMEHOW; Mom found out about our chat...she called me and she was a mess as well; thinking about the worst that could happen to Jessica. That is why I talk to you Dad; I did NOT want Mom to know....she has enough on her plate as it is. I will still talk to you Dad; but now our talks will remain private. Just between you and me. I love you and miss you dearly. Love; Cynthia

Hi Dad. Today is February 17/09. The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day. I went to see mom on the 12..I took her out to lunch to keep her mind off you for an hour. We enjoyed ourselves and she talked about you...but at least in public; it is hard to cry. She planned to go out with Jos and Derek that night; she stayed overnight with them. Mom has a new kitten....he is soooo cute; and a run for the money for big moow. They play together and i think big moow is loosing a bit of weight..good exercise for her. I know you loved that cat dad..even though you pretended not to. Dad; please look down on Marc, Shawna and Jessica today. They need you. They had to take Jessica to McMaster urgently; and I need you to look out for them. Rick and I are coping as best we can; and unlike Marc and Shawna; we don't have to hide when we cry. I know you know why they are there; and we want to keep it quiet until we get final results....which i hope will be very soon. I am a bundle of nerves today; as i am sure the kids are too. Take care Dad; I love you. Love Cynthia

Hi Dad: I called Mom yesterday; of course she remembered your birthday and was a bit weepy....we had a long talk. She was going out to bingo and then to Fortis for supper with her friend Barb. So nice that she has a friend to go out with. You would like Barb dad....she is a nice person. I will go over to moms on the 12th and spend some time with her. I know that will be another tough day for her......Mom is going out to dinner with Jos and Derek to Betty's that night.....so I will keep her company during the day. I am sure we will visit you on that day....guaranteed. I shall also like to do that with her. Rick and I are doing fine dad....we are coping with life's little challanges as best we can. A new day every day and usually a new challange....but nothing we can't handle. I was talking to Mary Knight yesterday and asked her to give you a big hug for us on your birthday.....i'm sure she did and i know you loved it. Jessica still asks me "are you talking to your dad"?; when she walks into the room and your picture is on the computer. I tell her yes and that i miss you. She always says she misses her greatgrandpa too; and that if it were her dad; she would be sad too. Such wisdom for a 6 year old. I am off now dad; i will be back on Friday the 13th; to let you know how my day with mom went. I love and miss you lots dad. Love; Cynthia

Hi Dad: It is Feb.2/09 and it is a beautiful sunny day outside. I went for a short walk today and it felt really good. You would have had another birthday this Wednesday; I'll have to call mom to make sure she is ok that day. I'm sure she'll remember it. We are doing good here. I still have my zone outs and "episodes"; but I am learning to live with it. Learning how to cope with the disability is the biggest thing I have had to conquer. Rick is doing better these days; I am trying to make him eat healthier....his liver is having a problem processing fats. He is still tired and we usually both have a nap in the early afternoon. We have another Dr. appt. tonight...every month I have to go for a check up; but it is good that he keeps an eye on me and Rick. Kevin and Annie were down a while ago and spent about a week with mom. They all came over for dinner and it was really nice to have their company for an afternoon. Mom looks really good and she is coping much better these days. I'm off Dad; I will be back soon to chat with you. Love Cynthia.

Hello Dad: It is Saturday Dec. 27/08 and we all survived the holidays. Mom had a big Christmas dinner downstairs again and a lot of people showed up. More people to keep her busy and her mind from wandering; of course; she thought of you more on that day. As we all did. Pat and Tom stayed Christmas Eve with mom; and of course; they ate meat pie. Such a tradition for all! Pat even had it for breakfast....oh the memories. Rick and I went over to Shawna's for Christmas. Jessica was overwhelmed with all the fuss and gifts. A lot for one little one to handle all at once. Dinner was wonderful and Lynda and Ralph also were over. They were having a hard time; missing Kim. Do you see her there Dad? Please tell her we were thinking of her and miss her...especially Ralph...he was having such a hard day on Christmas. We are doing fine...still waiting for Rick's results of his MRI. We see Dr. on Jan.5/09 and hope to get some results then. We are coping with the unknown as best as we can...the unknown is very scarry. Rick had to go in to work for a few hours today and then we are off to Oakville to a dinner at the President of Terratec's home. Not sure about that; since I don't know anyone. But Rick will introduce me and then things will be fine. Take care Dad. I will be back again to visit. Know that I love and miss you! Love, Cynthia

Good Morning Dad: Today is Dec. 23 and only two more sleeps till Christmas (as Jessica says). I am thinking about you loooots these last few days! I know MOM is too; our first Christmas without you. We have seen many days without you; but this one will be the hardest; I'm sure! I gave MOM her framed page I made. Of course; we both cried...I think she loved it. I hung it up for her while I was there. Sooooooooooo many memories! We had a nice visit; she was going downstairs to the Christmas dinner at the apartment. She looked so nice Dad; you would have been proud to have her on your arm. I shall call her again today....after I get out of this emotional state I seem to be in. It is hard to type and think when I am visiting you. The emotions run soooooo deep. I miss you so much! I think Sandra is sleeping over on Christmas eve with mom....this is going to be tough on her! Sandra is taking good care of her Dad....she watches out for her and you would be proud of your granddaughter. We have had a ton of snow here....definately a white Christmas for all. Mom and the family are doing the turkey dinner downstairs again this year. That should help her thru this holiday; I know she is thankful for that. I shall go for now Dad; please know I will be back soon to visit you....I shall visit as long as this site is up. I love you Dad; Merry Christmas; Cynthia

Dear Papa, I sit here trying to think of something to say that doesn't make the tears run from my eyes so badly that I can't see the words. I read the notes left by our family and I feel bad for only now visiting you on this site. I guess you are not here - rather in my heart and in Gramma's heart. She is still very sad and lonely, but I am sure that you see that. She talks to you often, but again, I am sure that you hear her. Please watch over her Papa and make her strong - I know she can be strong and I know you know that too. Please give her guidance and wisdom because she is not sure of herself at times. I try to visit her often, but I know it is not often enough. I promised you that I would help take care of her and I will do better. My dear, sweet, handsome Papa - we all miss you terribly. Please watch over my babies for me - they will always hold a special spot in their hearts for you. And please blow one of your angel kisses to my Dad - he needs strength right now - he too thinks of you often and misses you. I love you Papa and always will, until we meet again, keep watch over us and guide us in the right direction. Love, Sandy (big suck).

Hi Dad: Today is Dec.3 and the sun is shining. Louie passed away on Monday Dec.1. You will see him soon. Linda and Clarence are having such a hard time with this; I really feel for them. Please show him the way Dad; I know you were always fond of him. I miss you! Mom is not going to the funeral home...too much for her Dad. You are still too fresh in her mind to go thru that again....best she stays away. Mom made meat pies and she is so proud that she could do it all by herself. It kept her busy for a day and her mind off you for a bit. She thinks of you constantly. I scrapbooked a page of old pictures of you and mom and I am having it framed for Mom for Christmas. I hope she likes it. It brought back a lot of memories for me....what a beautiful couple you two made. Rick still has more tests coming; and then hopefully we will find out some answers.....I still have good days and not so good days..but I know when to stop now...I don't push like I used to. D@mn; I miss you! I know where you are; so it is not like you are lost or anything; but the emptiness is still there. I will try to make the funeral home for Louie today; I'm sure I can make it. I would like to be there to lend support for Linda and Clarence and Louie's family. We are all getting ready for Christmas. Jessica; Eric and Emily are soooooo excited...I love grandchildren. They make the season! I will leave you now Dad; but know I will be back to visit you again soon. Love; Cynthia

Hi Dad, Christmas is coming and I find it very sad. I know you don't want me to be sad ,but it is hard to have you and Nanny both gone. Last Christmas Nanny and I knew the Cancer would take you soon. She did not know she would be gone also. They say the Lord doesn't give us any more then we can handle. So we will all get together and celebrate both your lives at Christmas through all our tears. Love You! Hope you like the Christmas Mailbox on your grave. Thought the grandchildren would like it to help them through the Christmas Season.

Hi Dad, i miss you terribly. I try to spend as many friday nights as i can with mom and all we talk about is you. You would be so proud of your new great grand child, Brooke. She is absolutely gorgeous. Emily and I talk about you often also. She looks up to the sky to see you on a cloud because that's where i told her you were. Christmas is just around the corner. It won't be the same without you. Please make a place in heaven for Clarence's brother Louie, for he will see you shortly. Clarence will be happy to know that you will be waiting for him. I talk to you every day because i have your picture close to me. Love you lots and miss you. We will all see you one day. Linda xoxo

Dearest Papa, It seems I miss you more today than I did the day you left us. Some days, it's just so hard. I pray for Grandma to heal, not to forget you, but to accept that you are in Heaven. Not out of our lives forever, just temporarily, until we meet again. Please watch over Jossie, Derek, Sharon and Adriann through this difficult time, give them the strength they need and take care of Mary. Please watch over Cindi and Rick, give them strength, hope and good news. Please watch over my uncle, Louie. He is in so much pain, Papa. Last night, I covered him up in a blanket that his mother(Gramma)made for me when I was six years old. Let it bring him comfort. I worry about my Dad, he doesn't seem to be coping well, help him find the strength and ability to heal his heart. Send my love to Gramma and Papa Boudreau. And as always, Papa, please watch over my angels, my daughters. It brings me happiness to know you're watching over them from Heaven. Know that I love you, Papa. I'm sleeping at Grandma's tonight. With all of my love, still missing you, Brenda XXX OOO

Good Morning Dad: It is November 18 and we got our first snowfall today. It really is beautiful to see a fresh blanket of white on the ground. So refreshing and clean, as the first snowfall doesn't compare with anything else at this time of year. It makes me want to put up the Christmas lights......but Rick would have a fit.....toooooo early. I have finished my Christmas shopping and everything is wrapped and hidden from prying little eyes, both Shawna's and Jessica's as they like to snoop. I shall make meat pies soon and pass one along on to mom; although mine will not come close to hers. I am sure she will enjoy it just the same. I had a hard day yesterday. I was having one of my off days; dizzy and light headed and shakey. I tend to have good days and then a bad one is thrown in there just to keep me on my toes and remind me that I have a problem. Rick makes me take it easy; he literally makes me take a nap which I find I needed to get refreshed. I keep thinking I am invincible but have come to learn that I am not. We still haven't heard anything on Rick's blood tests and still no appt. yet for his MRI. I was really hoping they would rush the MRI to get an answer; but I guess there are other people with more severe ailments out there. Rick will not let me call and check on blood work, he says they will call. I know he is right; but still I worry. I guess Mom had a hard time at Mary's funeral. I think she should have stayed away from that. Too much for her to handle. I know she wanted to be there for Jocelyn and Derek; but I hear it only made matters worse. I shall have to visit her and talk to her. I did call, but not the same as seeing her face to face. I know you are taking care of Mary in Heaven. I don't have all the facts yet; but please let Mary know that anything that was said or done at her funeral to make her uncomfortable was not intentional. She will truly be missed and is still very much loved by all her grieving family and friends. I know Jocelyn and Derek and kids are doing their best to cope with their loss. They were so very close to Mary. Maybe you and Mary can have some mushroom soup; Jocelyn put a can in her casket; so I am sure she will share. It is a good thing that no one is looking over my shoulder as I type; they would think I have lost the rest of my mind the way I talk to you. I know you are in Heaven and not on this earth; but I do feel you can still hear me. It really doesn't matter anyway....I enjoy talking to you about our lives, ups and downs; it is good thearpy for me. I miss you so much. I am closing now Dad; but know that I will be back to see you soon. I am trying not to think of this being our first Christmas without you....I will deal with that another day! I love you Dad; Cynthia

Hi Dad: Today is Nov.11 and it is Rememberance Day. You would be so proud to see everyone wearing their poppies in honor of all the veterans! I remember you always and thanks for all your bravery and valor in fighting for our country! I am soooooooo proud to be able to say that you are my Dad! Some sad news Dad; Mary Knight passed away on Saturday; but you probably already know that; you two are probably saying "hello" and looking out for us still left on this earth. We got some shocking news from Doctor yesterday. Rick has an inflamed liver and enlarged spleen and needs so many more tests and blood work. I know you are saying a prayer for us now and please keep an eye on us; I am trying to stay calm and strong and I am going to need your help with that. We are both trying to think positive and not jump to any conclusions just yet; just waiting to get these tests done and over with and move on from there. It is cold and gray here again today. Winter will be setting in soon. Went back to see Mom and showed her the scrapbook pages i did of the pictures I got from her. Of course there were some tears! Then I went thru all the albums and got a few more....again Dad; I wasn't greedy; only took what meant something to me! I will go now; and know that I will be back to visit you. Take care of Mary Knight and show her the way in Heaven. I love and miss you Dad! Love; Cynthia

Hi Dad; it is the next day; Oct. 24/08 and I went to see Mom yesterday after I talked to you. I call her a lot but don't visit often because of drivers licence. There were a lot of hugs, kisses and of course; crying. I met her friend Barb....she seems to be a very nice lady and Mom enjoys her company a lot. They are really good for each other. They were going to bingo downstairs in the afternoon. So nice for her to have someone to "hang out" with. Mom said I could go through the photo albums and take any pictures I might want. You just know I went for the Japanese Album right away. I can still remember you telling me stories from that album....the bird; your war buddies; oh Dad...the memories just came flooding back. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! It is so nice to have this place to visit you......but it is only up for a year and then I am not sure where I can put my thoughts into words for you to see. Jessica walked into the room when I was talking to you and your picture is on the same page....."that's great-grandpa..are you talking to him". I told her yes and she asked me a hundred more questions about how you would get the message and did you know I was talking to you and more and more......finally I had to ask her to watch cartoons so I could concentrate on my message. The mind of a 6 year old! Anyway; I went through the album and choose pictures of you and me on my first communion....oh Dad; you certainly were a handsome man...and mom was such a beauty too! I also choose the one of me with my big teddy bear at christmas and a few others. I made sure Mom didn't mind before I took any at all. She was soooooo generous and said I could take any I wanted; but I wasn't greedy and only took pictures of me and you and mom together. The memories that came flooding back and the tears that came with them. Such good memories Dad. Thank the heavens for pictures. I plan to scrapbook them and then show them to Mom. I know that will make her happy to know they are NOT just sitting in a box; forgotten somewhere. I shall go now Dad; but know that I will come back and visit you again. I love you LOOOTTTSSSSS!!!!!

Hi Dad; I am back to visit you. It is October 23 and it is cold today. The leaves are falling the sky is gray and we had snow showers last night. Rick and I are doing fine. Jessica still asks about you, but now she doesn't get sooooo sad....she understands you are "ok" now. She knew you were in a lot of pain before. I like to look at your smiling face and your twinkling eyes. It somehow brings me closer to you; almost like we are visiting each other. This is my own little private world where you and I visit. Mom still misses you a lot....you two spent a lot of years together. She has made a female friend to spend some time with..they go out to the mall and lunch and give each other some very much needed company. I finally got my drivers licence back so I plan to visit your grave site. Mom has been taking care of it religiously...as you can imagine. She visits you very often. I shall go now; just wanted to say hello to you. I miss you so much Dad; even though I know you are in a better place where pain is unheard of; I selfishly wish you were here with us. I will visit you again Dad. Love Cynthia

Hi Dad: Today is September 15/08 and I have been thinking of you. As I sit here with tears falling; I think of all the things you have done for me; all the lessons learned and all the love given. I miss you so much. I look at your picture on the wall and I smile... remembering. I am visiting you here today so that you know we have not forgotten you. Mom is doing ok and loves and misses you so much. She still sometimes cries when we talk. I know you are at rest and not in any pain where you are; and I am thankful for that. Jessica and I were scrapbooking a page of you and she got really sad because you are not among us anymore. She understands but still misses you too. We are all doing good and know that you are in our thoughts every day. I have to go now but i will come back and visit you soon Dad. I love you. Cynthia

Hi Papa.I just want you to know that everybody misses you so very much. I would just to most of all thank-you. Thank-you for being the best Papa ever, for always making us laugh and smile. But thank-you for being there for us through tough times. I know that you would laugh at all of us and tell us not to cry anymore or be sad and that we will see you eventually. I love and miss you with all of my heart. There is not a day that goes by in my life that you are not on my mind. In grade 8 I made this poem book,for you, and it may not look like I but I put a lot of effort into it. I wanted to show you it. It is filled with poems about a grand-father and his grand-daughter. I was going to put it in your casket but I wanted to keep it with me so that when I read it, which I often do, I will think of you. You will always be loved and never be forgotten. We are all doing our best to help grand-ma be strong and make it through losing you. You were a loving husband, a wonderful father , and the best Grand-father anyone could ask for. Although its hard that your gone and it doesn't feel real at times, don't forget we all love and miss you. With all my love, Amanda xoxoxoxo

Dear Papa: Amber, Alana and I love you and miss you so very much. Amber will miss the stories that made her laugh. The stories always left her wondering if you were serious or not, because she is so gullible like when you would talk about the dentist needle or the slingshots in the war. Amber absolutely adores you, knowing a Papa like you is so very rare. Alana will miss sitting on you and stroking your hair. She will always remember that she was your "walking girl" and your "crossword girl". Alana is taking this so hard, Papa. You are unlike any man she has ever known. She adores your strength and ability to make her feel so special and loved. Banana will always remember how much the two of you would laugh and laugh and laugh... Papa, even when you were ill, we could never tell. You always made sure that we would be laughing. I remember when I was a young girl, getting so excited to visit you, telling me a different story every time about how you lost part of your finger. I will miss the blue truck that automatically took us wherever we needed to go and drove itself. On the day you left us, I laid beside you on the bed, and asked everyone to leave. As I snuggled up to you and rubbed your chest, we talked. I asked you to watch over my girls, my angels, from Heaven. I asked you to be there when I passed. You agreed and told me that you will watch the girls from anywhere. We told each other that we loved one another. I know you meant it. I absolutely adore you. When the girls and I saw you pass, we knew that one of the last real men was gone. A man that raised eight children, quite a few grandchildren and some great-grandchildren. A man that fought for our country, twice. A man that was strong and intelligent, yet soft and loving. Most of all, a man that we call our Papa. I promise you that I will help Grandma and help ease the pain of losing you. With all our love, for all eternity, until we meet again.....

Dad, I remember when we lived in Vineland and you bought a set of medical books. We use to sit together and read them. you wanted me to be a nurse. That was what I wanted to. I remember the day you came home with your hand behind your back and to all our surprise ,you had accindently cut the tip of your finger off at work. mom was grossed out and I was excited. I got to play nurse. You would let me clean it and wrap it up. You always knew how to change a bad experience into good. You received a $1000. for the tip of your finger and bought a speed boat. We had hours of fun in that boat. When you made up your mind that was it. I remember moving back to Benjamin N.B. I was happy when you and mom moved back to St.Catharines for good. it was the last up and down trip. On my days off I enjoyed many times shopping with you and Mom, going out for lunch, going to the canal, and all the family get togethers we had. Then that terrible word cancer came into our lives. I remember when you were told you had lung Cancer and went through that long surgery. I did my best taking you to Doctors appointments and you were back and forth in Hospital. You fought hard always a brave soldier. I remember staying over one night and you were disappointed you could not kneel to pray. mom would tell you it was OK. They don't make many people like you any more that serve God and you served your Country. We all thought you had cancer beat and then that awful day. When the Doctor came in and said you had Cancer again and it spread to your bones. But the brave soilder you are you told the doctor that you wanted to go to Newfoundland, you wanted to think about living. I remember your last day and how I tried to be your nurse and your dear Granddaughter Sandra. You were surrounded by daugthers , Sons, Grandchildren, daugther in laws, Great grandchildren and those that were not there in body were there in thoughts and prayers. what a great testimony to your life.Of course Mom ( agreat example of true love)was there and your pet cat (Morris)that you pretended to not like were by your side. I prayed for Jesus and his angels to take care of you. I know my prayers are answered you are in heaven able to kneel again and praise God, and enjoying all your family in Heaven and watching us from above. Missing you every second and knowing a piece of my heart went with you love, jocelyn XOXOXO

Hello Dear Family, Found this poem and wanted to share it with you. God bless you all. Unfortunately I do not know the author but felt after reading all your lovely condolences it was appropriate. "Do not stand at my grave ... " Do not stand at my grave and weep: I am not there. I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow. I am the diamondâ€ â„¢s gilt on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumnâ€ â„¢s rain. When you awaken in the morningâ€ â„¢s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die Uncle Gordon is at peace with God now. He did not die. Love Sue and Family

Dear Celinere my heart goes out to you as the tears run down my face. Uncle Gordon was a really gentle soul. I liked him immensely. He was always very kind to me and demonstrated what being a good, honest, hardworking man is all about. I remember his weathered hands and how he helped my brother Earl put up some gutters on my Mom's house. He knew how to do a lot of things. If there is a garden in heaven, I'm sure he's tilling it. - Kam and Dagny Mofid, Montgomery,Texas

Well Dad, it has been 9 months since your passing. I guess you are probably enjoying a conversation with Nanny! I am sure you both are saying "If they only knew how peaceful and beautiful it is in Heaven and how awesome it is to gaze upon the face of the Lord, they would not cry for us. Instead celebrate our life" Well Mom is a hand full,thats all I am saying on that! Hope too see you both in the years to come.

Hi Daddy, I can't believe you're gone a year already. I miss you so much and love you. I had a dream about you the other night around your birthday. You said something to me about wings. The next morning when i woke up i realized that when a sole is a year gone they develop their wings. So Daddy I guess you're an angel now watching over all of your family. As i'm typing I feel your presence around me. Sometimes I can even smell your favourite cologne. Love you so much. Your daughter, Linda..xoxoxo P.S. There you go Cynthia, I did it:)
