David J. Mehl

I came to see you and everything looked great the kids are fine grand kids doing well also. The oil paintings you painted I am leaving one to each of the kids the book we were working turned out great I think you should of tried to get it published. But you did not believe in yourself that much, I believed in you, I am giving the book to Jennifer she might do something with it. Your doodles in your book aka drawings I am keeping. I am buying a new car, I know you wanted to. Buddy helped me make up my mind, I as grateful he is a lot like you I see you in him a lot. Jen is going to change Aiden’s last name to Mehl so your name will go on your dad said it was up to Buddy but I don’t think he wants anymore children. Do you remember how excited you were when Jen was born, you said she was perfect and beautiful you were right of course and your mom could not get enough of her either. I love you I will see you soon because I will be going to moms.

“I Am My Father's Daughter”

I see my Father in me; expressive, full of splendor, real, revolutionary;

I am my Father's daughter. How can I deny Your majesty, Your creation without denying my own existence?

When you speak to me, it's peaceful, you always have an answer, anxieties flee. Most knows You for Your greatness, I know you as a loving Father, I love you.

Like most daughters, I have a hard time following directions, insist on having my way; Your Sovereignty, Your forgiveness picks me up when I stumble and fall, you know me.

Painless; painful lessons, thank you for having patience as I learn how to love, fight, be confident. Good news is, no need for me to perform or earn Your love; it's stamped in gold.

An attentive Father, Provider, Protector, mutual respect, an extraordinary relationship. Heir with You, joint heir with Jesus, involved; I love it when You say, 'I am proud of you.'

You have fearfully and wonderfully made me. I am the apple of Your eye; I am my Father's daughter; there's nobody greater than You.

Well you won’t believe it but your son turned 27 today he bought a Pontiac g8 it’s pretty fast .

Well it’s cold and snowy and you got so excited when they predicted accumulations but on your birthday it was nice weather your book is lost but I will try to find it but hung on to most of the things that were important to you will give it to the kids when I finish my will Annie is almost finished with college you would be proud of her getting a doctorate in psychology I think her brother and sister my need her services I am sorry I wasn’t in the room when you asked for me I know you wanted to look me in the eyes because my face is the last thing you wanted to see but you know when you apologized because it was to hard it was the same for me but Jen was there and you told her not to cry. You were a permanent part of their lives we were together every day of our children’s lives and they miss that I miss that you said the only thing you regretted about dying was not watching Aiden grow up and you cried but he is doing well I know you were not afraid to die you believed in god and good was good and evil was evil I’m glad you had a good heart and mind and spirit rest in peace my love
