I love you and miss you so much Daddy. Im sorry for all the time we missed out on. Im sorry for not being there with you holding your hand when you needed me the most. I've blamed you all these years and have spent the last 18 years thinking that something was wrong with me and that you didnt love me anymore. But that wasnt true. The reason we didnt get to have a relationship was because of selfish vendictive people. I forgive you for not being around and I hope you forgive me. I love you, that has never changed. I dont need some mention in an obituary to tell me im your daughter, I see proof of that everyday when I look in the mirror, when I look at shannon, and when I look at your grandchildren. I hope one day I will see you again. One day I can wrap my arms around you and neve have to let go. I wish I could have come to your wake and funeral but I couldnt afford the trip. Me and Shannon plan on coming and saying our own goodbyes. Save a place for us Daddy and give Granddaddy a hug and kiss for me. I Love You. Sarah Elizabeth Everhart

I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you daddy! I will regret that for the rest of my life. I keep reading and hearing what a great father and man you were and I am very saddened that I didn't have the opportunity to know you in the same way. I suppose we are both to blame for that. Looking at the picture of you on here I seen so much of myself, I didn't realize just how much I look like you. I wish I could hug you and say I am sorry and tell you how much I love you and how I never stopped loving you no matter what! Even though I wasn't mentioned as being your child she will never be able to take away the fact that I am a part of you and I always will be!! I am and always will be your baby girl and NOBODY can change that :) I love you daddy and I hope to see you again one day for that hug and the "I love you" that I have been waiting on for the past 18 years! Love forever and always, Shannon ?
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Roy, You were a great friend to me and many others. In the 14 years that I knew you, you always looked out for other co-workers and made going to work fun. We worked hard and got the job done and still had time to kid and joke around. You loved your family and talked about them quite often. In the time that I knew you, I saw you laugh, get mad but I never saw you hurt anyone or lie to anybody. You always said "I don't lie" and you never did. You also told it like it was. You were a good guy. I learned alot from you and knowing you made me a better person. I am honored to have been called one of your friends. Roy, you will be greatly missed. Until we meet again. Your friend, Big Joe
