Hey old man, I'm sorry we hadn't spent much time together over the past few years. I want to thank you for teaching me how to use natural talent and thoughts turning them into tools, while being able to view something whether it be in front of you or in your head. Once you can understand something from the inside out and back in again there is nothing that cant be done by those who apply themselves. You made sure I could conquer any obstacle with ease as long as I took the time to figure in all aspects and started with a good plan. I've missed you over the years and will for more to come. Many memories that can never be replaced but surely never forgotten. I will come see you soon, I know you are finally free of pain and getting some good rest. . . I don't want to bother you just yet! I love you Dad and I'll see you soon

James Whitcomb Riley, American poet and author
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you -- oh you, who the wildest yearn
For an old-time step, and the glad return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
Think of him still as the same. I say,
He is not dead -- he is just away.
Rest in Paradise Kelly
I love you Mom, & I'm here when you need me.
