Hellllooo/ Sherry (daughter)
Hey Dad, I'm just sitting here, and I was thinking about you, which is not unusual. I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, just thinking about you and you being gone. It still seems so weird. I say to myself Man, Dad is really gone and to tell you the truth I still find it hard to believe. We will always miss you, and you are so much a part of this family. The other day I told Derek that he reminds me of you. He is so neat and clean, like you, and he keeps his money neat and straight, all of it facing one way, and he knows how to save his money, unlike his Aunt Sherry. Anyway, when I tell him that he gets the biggest smile on his face and said "really". I think it made him proud to be like his grandpa. He says that when he and Andrew are lying in their room at night they sometimes talk about you and the funny things you have done. He also says that they get real sad, and that it is hard for him to visit this website because it makes him cry. They love you lots Dad!!!! Mom says to tell you she loves you too, but also says that you know that already. Well Dad, I guess I will go for now...but I'll be back.....Love ya Sherry Lynn Close
Drift Away / Sherry (Daughter) Well Dad, I finally figured out yet another thing having to do with the music on this sight. I had wanted Drift Away to play as others visited your site, and I always got an error "File Too Large" well i fixed that. We can now enjoy hearing Drift Away as we look at your pictures. I am off to bed, I just wanted to stop by and say Hello!!! Love & Miss You Sherry LynnClose

Still protecting me / Sherry (daughter)
Dad, I came within minutes of the possibility of being with you tonight. I was at work and I was outside washing the windows on Mom's car, but they were sooo dirty. I decided when I got off of work I would just drive it through the carwash (she is going to take Aunt Al to San Bernadino for a Dr. appt.). Within 5 minutes of going back into the store shots were fired at some guys that had pulled into get gas. Boy, did I hit the floor in a minute. So after we called 911 I called Mom, I was scared and shaking. When I get home there is this note by my computer from Mom telling me she loved me, and that she is really glad nothing happened to me. There was also a P.S. It said Dad was watching out for you, he is still protecting us. I have already Thanked God, and now I am thanking you. I Love You Dad!!!! Close
Hey Dad / Sherry
Hey Dad, I am just stopping by to say I love and Miss you !!!! I also am re-reading some of the last notes people have written, and they give me such mixed emotions. I am so very happy that you are and will always be remembered. Everyone I talk to has a special memory of you. Most of them are of your craziness and humor you possessed. Then the other part of my emotions are that I wish you were still here to make more of them memories. Michael and I went to see you the other night (it was freezing out there) and he still gets a lil' choked up when he talks of you, but he says you were one of a kind. He says there is no one like you, and that you treated him well. When we came back home we sat on the porch to smoke and he said, what I would give to see that onery old man walk up the sidewalk right now. You are always on my mind, and I know Mom and Kurt are always thinking of you. I know Kurt misses you sooo much, and like Mom he feels bad about not being there at the hospital when you left us. If there is anyway you can let him know that it is OK that he wasn't there, please do so. I have said this before and I will say it again, I think it was suppose to happen like that. I think you picked me to be the strong one (not that Kurt and Mom aren't strong, in all actuality they are the strongest) maybe it happened that way because you knew that if I hadn't of been there, that I wouldn't of been able to handle it at all. That is what I meant by them be the strongest. I am weak and you knew that, so you had me stay to make me strong for them. Heck, I don't know. All I do know is if they weren't there physically, they were there in your heart. That goes for the whole family. Well Dad, I better go I have a job interview at Albertson's tomorrow, so wish me LUCK! Love Sherry Close

Hey Ana is engaged / Janice (sis-in-law)
Hey Brother-In-Law Just wanted to drop this note so you can share with everyone you're with. Ana is engaged. Tell her grandparents that she is as happy as can be. And that, that night she wished all of you could of been there. I told her u guys all were right there in her heart, watching and smiling. Tell my mom that Annie said "Annie I sure think I need a ring like that and I sure could use some of those Uggs you are wearing on your feet." Tell my mom that Ana reminds me of her so much. And I forgot to share this with u all also. She not only now is licensed to drive (look out everyone) but she is also now a licensed nurse. I'm so proud of her. And we can't forget her brother Augie. He is living with me and working and with everyones prayers he'll keep his life straight. So tell everyone to say a prayer for him nightly. We love and miss you all so much. Thanks Steve for passing my messages on. Love ya Jan Close

It's me!!! / Sherry
Hey Dad, I haven't written anything in a while, so I thought I would stop by and say hello!!! I started working again and I am loving it. Now I don't have to worry how I am going to pay the bills. I went to the ER this morning, these darn headaches are killing me. They gave me a shot after waiting for 3 1/2 hrs. Then the headache was immediately gone!!!! Mom sure does miss you, I found her crying today and I asked her what was wrong she just said "I miss Dad" I told her I know that she misses you, but you wouldn't want her to be crying all the time. They say it gets easier with time, but I don't know. I asked Blane if time has made his mom's death any easier and he told me "No" he stills misses her as much as he did the day she died. Well Dad, like always we miss and love you very much!!!! Love ya your Daughter Sherry Lynn Close

Hey Dad / Sherry
Hey Dad, Well we went to see you today. Me, mom and Aunt Vicki. It's always nice to go out there. I finally got to see this red bird Aunt Al is always talking about. She says it represents you. Why she thinks that, I don't know. It was a very pretty bird though. Well Dad I just wanted to say hi and be the first to write in 2006!!! Love Sherry Close
