Dear dad,
Even though I talk to you everyday and think of you everyday, writing it out just gives me a sense of calmness. There ISNT a DAY that goes by that you aren’t on my mind. I think of you everyday, and I miss you in more ways anyone can ever imagine. I don’t know why you were taken from me so soon and even though it’s been 10 years since you have passed, the wound still feels fresh as if it just happened. I cry often thinking about you and thinking about what life would be like if you were still here. You’ve always been my rock, you always kept me in the right path, and always made me believe that I was capable of being whoever I wanted to be in life as long as I was dedicated. You’re belief in me made such a big impact on me. You always showed that you were proud of me, and you still made sure to discipline me when needed but you always ensured that I felt loved. You always cheered me on at my softball games, even when your physical health wasn’t good, you wouldn’t let that get in the way of making it to my games and cheering me on. You have no idea how much I miss you, dad. Even the smalls things, I miss so much and hold so dearly. I miss the way you would rub your hands together with that big grin before every meal, or when you were excited or happy about something. I miss our car rides to keeseville or fern lake to see grandmother and grandfather, or aunt Carole and aunt Donna and aunt sue. Ever since you left this earth, it’s been so hard for me to see grandma and aunt Donna and aunt Carole because it reminds me of you and it’s hurts me. It just brings back so many memories. Even though they are happy memories, it just reminds me of the fact that you are no longer here, that I can no longer see you, or hear your voice, and I guess it upsets me too because I’m scared that they are disappointed in the woman I have become, because if I feel they think that, it would make me think you would be disappointed in me as well, so I’m scared to talk to all of them in fear that they wouldn’t approve of who I have become, even though I’m sure they love me know matter what.
I just pray that you are happy and proud of me and the choices I make. I know I made a lot of mistakes since you passed away and I lost my way when you passed, I acted out, and to be honest, I didn’t want to believe that you were gone so I acted out in hopes that you passing away was just a bad nightmare and I would wake up to you disciplining me for acting out, and the nightmare would end. But that nightmare was reality and I came to terms that you weren’t coming back and that I’ll never see you again or hear your voice.
I had to grow up really fast. I didn’t get to be a child, not because of you! Because I know that everything you taught me up until you passed away, you taught me so I could take care of myself and learn responsibilities, because I know you knew you weren’t going to be on this earth for long. I know you knew, and I admire you for staying so strong and never letting me see the pain you were in and making the last 90 days happy for me. You are truly an amazing father that had so much love for me to do that. I know it must’ve been so hard for you. I wish I could have seen you when you checked out of the hospital, it kills me and is still fused in my memory seeing you hooked to all of those machines. I regret standing there sobbing not being able to move or speak. I wish I would have known that you could hear me because I would have told you how much I loved you and how incredible of a father you are, and how much I was going to miss you. I regretted it since the very moment the nurses pulled the plug.
I remember when you were admitted into Plattsburgh hospital before you got really sick, grandmother Parkinson was there as well, and she brought me down into the lobby to go to the room that you pray in, and she showed me how to pray and we prayed that you were healthy and got a fast recovery, I remember leaving the praying room and saw you; all dressed, with all of your belongings, and it filled me with so much joy and so much belief. I just thought to myself, “wow! The lord answered my prayer so quickly!”
Ever since that day I prayed everyday for your health. But when I lost you, I questioned what I had done so wrong for him not to answer my prayers for you to be okay. I questioned why he took you from me. I asked what I did wrong to make him deny my prayers, and I got angry with him because he took you away from me. So angry.
But I know now that If he took you away from me so early that the lord knew I was strong enough to get through because you taught me so well And because he needed you up there with him so you didn’t suffer anymore. I just wish I had more time with you, I wish you were here everyday by my side.
I have these vivid reoccurring dreams about you. It always starts off with me sitting on the stairs and listening to Chelsea and Caroline fighting and then all of a sudden the door swings open and there is this bright bright light and all of a sudden you appear and I somehow end up outside on the curb sitting down balling my eyes out and you walk up to me and you grab my hand and help me up and hug me and i can feel it, the hug feels so real, and you just say, “you are okay, I’m okay, turbo, everything will be okay”.
Then the dream ends. I always pray to god the he makes the dream longer and allows me to talk to you in my dream. But it always ends with that.
I wish I could sit with you and talk for hours.
I hope you are proud of me. I hope you are happy with the decisions I make, and I hope you are up there shining down on me. I pray for signs everyday that you are around me. I hope you hear me when I talk to you.
I love you, daddy. So much! I promise you that I am doing my best to make you proud and get on my two feet again since the divorce. I’m trying my best to stay strong and be stable again. That man destroyed me in more ways than people realize. He stripped my confidence and reason for existing. He made me scared of him and he made it hard for me to trust and love again. And I know you raised me to be stronger then that, but he broke me. I’m trying to gain that strength back and get back on my two feet. It’s just been so hard.
But I know you are by my side every step of the way.
I love & miss you dad. You’re always on my mind<3

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Some days I wish I could still run down the road to your house when I need you. I need you everyday. I miss you so so much. I hope you were there helping welcome papa into heaven. I hope he will tell you how amazing Jillian and Ian are. If only they could of met you, and hear your stories, and learn how to hunt and fish from you..... I love you Daddy. Always.

Daddy, it's been 6 years since you've been away. Their hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't missed you. I see your face everyday from the pictures I have of you around the house. Infact, your picture is my screen saver on my phone.
I love and miss you so much and wish you were still here. I wish you you here to meet my soon to be husband. You would have like him very much. He reminds me of you sometimes. He likes the same things you do (other than the music). I pray to God that you can see me and that you are still proud of me. I am and always will be your little girl, or as you always called me, turbo. I wrote you something today, although I cried in the process of writing it, I thought I would share it. I love you, dad. Forever and always.
If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be.
The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.
If I only had five minutes,
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.
But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.
I love you so much, dad<3
You're always in my dreams when I am having a hard time. You still manage to find a way to get to me, especially in my time of need, and I thank you for that.

Lyle and I had so much fun growing up together! I remember the many fishing trips we had and some of the mischief we used to get into.(right along side Annie and Kelly). One particular time I remember our families were at Grampa Whites celebrating Grampas birthday. I dared Lyle to spike the puch (the liquor was in the kitchen where we were) so being 16 he did. Lyle and I had a couple little drinks and had a little glow going on. I remember my mom telling that Lyle had ended up getting sick when he had gotten home. (That's when we told what we did).

Aunt Mag, Uncle John & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Lyle's passing. Although we haven't seen him since the family reunion a few years ago, we always kept him in our thoughts and prayers. We heard that during the ordeal with his leg, he had a wonderful attitude and kept his sense of humor. Those are the kinds of memories that will help you get through your grief.
Think of him now as your personal guardian angel watching over all of you.
I'm sorry we were unable to attend the services, but we were thinking of you. God bless you all and take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place.
Love,
Carly & Bev

Lyle,
With all our differences and ups and downs, we did lovingly agree on one thing-our three beautiful girls. The most precious gift you ever gave me. I thank you for that and also the opportunity to have two beautiful stepdaughters. I will remember you in my heart forever and will always have sweet memories of you through the eyes of the girls.

Lyle - I’ll always remember you as the uncle that could always make us laugh, who would set off fireworks at our house (even if it was nowhere near the 4th of July) and who could single-handedly lift a truck off of another man. In these past few months, you have been a great inspiration to us all! May peace and God’s love be with you. Love, Becca

The past few months while Lyle was in the hospital gave me time to re-connect with my brother. For that I am grateful. His last words to me when we talked on the phone the day he was leaving the hospital were "I love you" and my last words were "I love you, too". I thank God for that opportunity to say those words to my brother. You've gone home, Lyle. Rest in Peace.
