    Elma,
    Iam so sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. He was a very nice and good man. My heart goes out to you, I know how much you loved him. And the stories you shared with me. Like the one where you asked him to give you a haircut, and he cut your hair too short, and you too making tamales together. I pray that God will give you and your family strength during this time. God Bless

    Dad
    As I sit here on what would have been your 68th birthday, it took me this long to come to terms with your passing. I am still at a loss of words of how to say bye even when I gave you your last rights December 18. I wake up everyday waiting to get that annoying call that you broke the remote again despite you pushing the wrong button. I could never be the man you are and have the patience you had with Sarah and I. Though I try with your granddaughters, I feel like I could never reach your level but I am trying.
    Happy birthday, dad.
