Condolence: I am shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Roy. He was a special friend. So helpful with my constant car problems and he had a wonderful sense of humor and always ready for a quick joke. I always respected him for his loyalty to his family, faith, and friends. I missed him when he moved to Iowa and now I'm sorry that I won't get to see him again. I only wish the best for his family and will keep them and Roy in my prayers.

Condolence: Dad,

I need to tell you something, something I didn't tell you enough. I love you. I need you to know that. I miss you so much, it is hard for me to accept the reality. I want you back, even just for a day. I miss your phone calls, I miss your hugs, and I miss your smile even though it was ever so slight.

It isn't fair... Even though they don't exist, I can't bare the thought of my future children growing up without you in their lives. They will miss so much. I just can't comprehend that you are gone, without warning, without saying goodbye. My world fell apart last Sunday night with that unimaginable phone call.

Before I left you last, we both hugged and the last words you spoke to me were "I love you, I'll see you Monday." You didn't keep those words. You never came. You left me by myself. And I'm furious about it. I'm not mad at you, it's that weak body of yours that failed you and took you away from me.

We had so much planned this year. We were coming to Iowa in just a few weeks to stay with you and mom. Now it will be just mom and me, each trying to be strong for the other and talking about what we would be doing if you were here. And what about our trip to Colorado next year? I was excited about that, I bought a new utv just for the trip. Even if I knew you would've wanted to ride it the whole time yourself. Well, now it's sitting in the garage waiting on you.

I'm angry, so angry. Not at you. Well, maybe a little. I wish you could have seen your memorial service. It was so nice. You should be proud of the name you made for yourself. People came from everywhere to say goodbye to you. They told stories and said over and over what a great man you were. And the flowers were just beautiful.

I didn't want this, and I know you didn't either. Nothing is ok anymore... It's obvious that no one is ok without you. However, I think you would be proud of mom, she has been so strong, especially when I failed to be.

Our lives are void, filled with sadness and anger at the moment, but I will never forget all the things you taught me. Or all the things that we did. I am grateful for all of it. And I can only hope I become half the man that you were. I will do my best to make you proud. This is to you dad, I love you. I hope to see you again my friend.

But the best ships are friendships and may they always be.”
