Happy Fathers Day In Heaven / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
You may have thought that I didn't see or hear life's lessons that you taught me~ But I got every word.. Perhaps you thought that I missed it all and we would grow apart~ But I picked up every single thing~ It is written in my Heart...
Without you my sweet Daddy~ I wouldn't be the woman I am... You built a strong foundation~that no one can take apart, or take away...
I have grown up with your values & I am glad I did..
You are my Hero~ Daddy~ You made me feel loved, secure and protected~ and I was always sheltered by your care.
You were always my true friend~ when I needed you~ You were always there... You have a place of Honour~ Deep within My Heart...
A little girl needs her daddy to love her with his manly charm~to soothe her when she's hurt and to keep her safe from harm~
A girl needs her Daddy to show her a man that is good~ to help her make the right choices, as only a father could do...
A woman needs her father, just to be aware~ he will always be there for her to sustain her and to care for her.....
Daddy~ You have been all of these things~ And I hope you can see. how very Much I treasured you~ You meant everything to me ~ And you still do~ Not a day goes by that I don't think of you..
I will always be Daddy's little girl....
I love and miss you so much.......
Happy Father's Day in Heaven
With Love Eternally~ Your Daughter

No words I can ever write....... / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
No words I write can ever say ~ How much I miss you everyday~ As time goes by, the loneliness grows; How I miss you Daddy~ No One knows! I think of you in silence~ I often speak your name~ But all I have of you are memories and photos in a frame. No One knows my sorrows~ No one sees me weep~ But the love I have for you in my Heart is mine to keep. I've never stopped loving you~ I am sure I never will~ Deep inside my Heart, YOU are with me still... Heartaches in this world are many~ But mine are worse than any~My Heart still aches as I whisper low, "I need you and miss you so" ~ The things we feel so deeply are often hardest to say, but I just can't keep quite anymore~ SO I will tell you anyway. There is a place in my Heart that no one else can fill~ I love you so Daddy and I always will...........
Special Days like today are the hardest ones~ I love and miss you terribly, but I will see you in Heaven, when God calls me home~
Love Eternally Your Daughter~ Cathy
I Watched You Go............ / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
I watched you go, you did not cry. I held your hand, as we said our goodbyes.....
You closed your eyes, took your last breath. Your pain was all over, as you welcomed death ...
I cried for you then, the pain is still here. My heart still is broken, and doesn't want to mend.
Another day passes, life still goes on. I think of our memories, as I sit here and cry
I remember the good times, all that we had. And I always knew, you always cared.
In time you grew weaker, as time went on. I promised I’d be there, when the moment came.....
I did it for love, is all that I can say. Your life has ended, death has taken you away.....
I will carry your memory, right here in my heart. Until the time comes, that I too must part .....
Happy Thanksgiving Daddy..........
I never been more Homesick........ / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
You’re in a better place, I’ve heard a thousand times And at least a thousand times I’ve rejoiced for you But the reason why I’m broken, the reason why I cry Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow I’ve never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don’t understand your ways The reason why I wonder if I’ll ever know But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same Cause I’m still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow I’ve never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye And in Christ, there is no end So I’ll hold onto Jesus with all that I have To see you again To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
I’ve never been more homesick than now
Celebrating 3 Years in Heaven / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
~It was 2 years ago today, that I stood by my Daddy's bedside.. My Heart was crushed and sore, as I watched him take his final breathe here on this earth.. I did my best to the end. In tears I watched him fade away, and though my heart was breaking, I knew I could not make him stay . He left behind some aching Hearts, that loved him most sincere.. And, today it seems like an Eternity, since he has left this Earth. He slipped away from me in the quiet of the night, into God's loving arms. I couldn't have known , what it would mean , the day I walked away, and realized that I would never see his face again...But, I had no choice that day... I know his Spirit soared through the moon, the clouds, the rain! I tell myself every day & every night, that he is finally released from all the pain, from all the suffering... My Daddy brought me so much Sunshine, so much Hope, not only to me, but to all of those around him.. I know he is walking on Streets of Gold, and his Mansion in the sky, is the Grandest! And today when I place my flowers upon his grave, let that be my promise to him, that one day I will find him forever more, and we will then be together forever, Eternally!

We Knew that Night God was going to call Your Name / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
We knew that night that GOD was going to call your name. In life I Loved you dearly in Death, I do the same.. It broke my Heart to lose you, but you did not go alone: for part of me went with you, the Night GOD called you home.. You left me peaceful memories, your Love is still my guide; and though I cannot see you, YOU are always at my side... Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as GOD calls us one by one, the chain will link again. I Love and miss you Daddy... In Memory of my Daddy, who went to be with his Heavenly Father on September 27, 2004...... Love Eternally, Your Daughter Cathy
In My Heart / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
In My Heart
I thought about you today, but that is nothing new..
I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that, too...
I think of you in silence....
I often speak your name...
Now all I have are my Memories..
And your picture in a frame...
Your Memory is my keepsake, with which I will never part..
GOD has you in his keeping,
I have you in My Heart..
With Love Eternally, Cathy
Happy Father's Day. I am without you, but I know you are spending it with your Father in Heaven... / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
God, took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea. the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of an eagle's flight, the joy of a morning spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity, the dept of a family's need. then God combined these qualities; when there was nothing more to add, he knew his masterpiece was complete, and so, he called it~ Dad Daddy, I wish you were here, so I could read this to you, and give you big hugs and kisses on this Father's Day, but I know you are spending this Father's day with your Father in Heaven..... Happy Father's Day, Daddy....... With Love Eternally, Your Daughter , Cathy
A light is gone from "Our Eyes" / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
A light from our eyes are gone. A voice we Loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our "Hearts", Which can never be filled.. GOD gave us a beautiful father,,, A Father who never grew old, You were always there with a helping hand....
Help us now to accept His plan. We miss you now, our Hearts are sore. As time goes by, we miss you more...
Your loving smile, your crooked grin, your gentle face.... No one can take our "Father's place".
May the Choirs of Angels recieve you and may You have rest and "Peace" everlasting.... Amen
With Love Always, Your Daughter & Son
Thanksgivng 2004
I Close My Eyes So I Can See....... / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
I Close My Eyes So I Can See
I close my eyes so I can see Sweet memories of yesterday I try to drown out all the sounds And concentrate on you that way
I feel your love so tender I see your smiling face I hear the sound of laughter That time can not erase
You're in my life once again As I let my thoughts run free And once again it's yesterday As I close my eyes so I can see
Your Memories I have inside, for now we are apart.
You were always full of hop and gave all your love.
I know you are in GOD's hands, the father up above..
Inside me is where you live, in a very special place.
When I need some cheering up, I see your smiling face.
Though I may not hear you laugh or hold your hand today.
I cherish every moment that you gave me everyday..
When times get tough and I feel as though I can't go on.
I know that you would tell me "just to be strong"..
Your life may have ended, before your time.
But I know GOD has helped me, by letting you Memory shine..
The comfort I have today is knowing that you are free.
It's just really hard to let go of what used to be....
You enriched my life, more than I can ever say.
That is why I remember that it is your Birthday today..
AS I smile and sing "Happy Birthday to you!
In my Heart I remember all the Memories you gave to me..
And when the time comes for us to see each other again.
I know you'll be waiting to show me the way in.
May your Heart be filled with love today..
Happy Birthday, Daddy...
We all Love & Miss you, so much.
With Eternal Love Always, Cathy
Mike & Family
To My Daddy / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
To my Daddy:
The loving gifts you've given me as a father have shaped my life and made me the person I am. Your strong sense of values, of fairness, of right and wrong, are all part of me. My outlook on life, my sense of humor, my interests and talents, I can see you in all of them. It makes me happy and proud to know that the qualities in you I love and admire so much, are a part of me. You are always with me Daddy,...in my thoughts, in my heart, in the very fabric of my life....you are always with me.
He took you by the hand ; He walked you to the light and said come go with me, My Child, I 'll take away the pain and every time "They" cry for you, I'll comfort them with Rain.
Every time "They" think of you , they'll smile and look above ;
They'll Thank Me first, for giving you to them, so many years to love.
Raindrops from Heaven we'll send with your Love ; They'll never forget your beautiful smile, your warm embrace, will never be replaced..
If they shed a tear for you, we'll make it sprinkle Rain and they will always remember, "No more Pain for you, My Child.
Just Rain

Jim, I miss you....... / Vivian Stamps (Aunt)
Jim I miss you so very much, I look over at your house, (now Mike's, And wish I could go over and talk but I know that is impossible. God has given me all these precious memories of you, and I praise and thank Him. You gave so much, and ask so little. You never cared for a big fancy home here, because you knew you had a mansion waiting for you in Heaven. Where you are dwelling now. No more pain, no more suffering, no more sorrow. Just praising God, now and through out eternity. Love you now and forver!!!Love Aunt Bibbie
Just One More Minute............. / Cathy Imler (Daughter)
We were busy everyday with so much to do. Now I just want one more minute to talk with you.
I know that’s not possible because you are gone. Inside me your memories are keeping me strong.
I never learned how to say goodbye or even farewell. I just wanted to keep life happy and swell.
I know you would say that life just goes on. But it’s not easy when you've lost that special bond.
No more phone calls, no road trips, no dancing and fun. Those were the things that I depended on.
Even though we were not always together each day. We shared our love in a very special way.
We could sit quietly and not even a say a word. Then look at each other and know both of us heard.
I know it takes time to let our hearts heal. But without you I am not sure how to feel.
I know I miss you today and wish you were here. But I can only pray and shed a tear.
You always had the wisdom to tell me what I needed to know. You always had an answer and a direction to go.
We saw the little miracles together that not everyone could see. I saw the love in your eyes when you looked at me.
I know we had to say goodbye in our own way. Words cannot express what you gave to me everyday.
I am grateful that I was able to be with you till the end. I am so blessed that we became best friends.
I wake up and say a prayer with you everyday. God gives me peace and comfort as he shows me the way.
You will be in my heart in case I need you my friend. May God bless and keep you until we see each other again.
Now, I know it’s time that I have to set you free. But I just wanted one more minute for you and me.
