Rosemarie Groth Relation to Deceased: Daughter Dad this is not good bye, it’s til we meet again.I don’t remember if we thanked you for everything you did for us, you were the rock of the family. You were always there for us in good times and bad and you never judged us. We thank you for the last 15 months we had with you we’ll treasure all the wonderful memories. I miss you so much but your with Mom and happy again. I Love You and thank you for being my Dad. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Pete Giuliano Relation to Deceased: Son Dad you were my dad and my buddy you taught me how to be strong,but also loving and caring at the same time. I can only hope to be half the man you were. You taught me that family always comes first and to be strong and firm when needed but always respectful. I learned from you everyday I hope I learned enough because now you are with mom and the teaching has ended. Love you and miss you. Till we meet again XOXOXO I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
Paul H Davis Relation to Deceased: Old friend of Peter… I remember your dad as always in a good mood and smiling.

Joanne Grundke Relation to Deceased: Daughter Dad this is a great poem that fits you. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us. Dad I miss you so much all ready but I am happy that you are happy and with Mom. I love you and thank you for being the best Dad!!!!

Jerry Groth Relation to Deceased: Son-in-Law Just thinking of you ibn a nice night in Florida when I said I had lost my day and if I could call you Pops. I think it suprised both of us but was very plased when you said yes. Miss you Pops but I believe you are in a better place. May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing

Beth Grundke Relation to Deceased: Granddaughter My Papa was a courageous man who lived life to the fullest and never cared what other people thought! I met my Papa when I was only 9 years old and from that very moment he treated myself and my brother like he had known us since birth. I have many memories of times spent with him and grandma when they came home to visit, but my favorite was when they stayed for a long period of time when my sister was born. It was nice to be able to spend a lot of time with them. I will always hold you in my heart Papa!! Rest now and one day we will meet again!!
