Happy birthday daddy! I miss you!

Posted by Ruby Rogers on August 24, 2023

Today 2 years ago you rode into the sunrise with the wind in your face and the sun coming out, breathing in the cool fresh morning air, as your feet pedaled along,your heart beating as you went the sunset just as the sun was rising for you, your last taste of fresh air and the wind in your face, and your heart beat no more, part of my heart beat went with you that morning. I miss you and I love you Dad.

If I could rewind time to say I love you, If I could hear your voice once more, I would listen. Some days are easy others are hard knowing I never got to say goodbye or see you one more time. If I could rewind time to touch your heartbeat knowing it was connected to mine.. Instead I sit hear with my heart in a million peices, wanting to say I love you and hear you one more time.. No one knows the pain but me and my true God. He knows why you were tragically taken and knows I miss you so. It's been almost a year daddy, days feel like a blur and other times dreamy I think of you almost daily and wonder when I'll stop greiving. I talk to God alot about you and tell him to help me cope and thank him for certain memories of you. Just know I love you. Love your daughter rubydoo.

Daddy- Merry Christmas! It's hard to write that knowing your not here physically with us, the first holidays are the worse. But I know God is wrapping his loving arms around me and I know I still hear you in my head. I miss you and I know the days will get better. I love you. Thank you Jesus for your birth and life after this. It was 50* today and was supposed to be rainy but turned out to be a sunny day. I think a peice of you came through.

Dear Ruby, My heart deeply aches for you. I have felt similar pain back in May of 1979. My brother, Jarold( who had been high school best friends with your father) was murdered. It hit your dad hard. I am sure Jarold met Dave as he entered eternity. They are before their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And knowing them both, probably running races against each other. Please feel free to contact me at the email address attached. Big hugs.🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏😥😥😥

The Wind Whispers I feel the wind whisper around me I cant see it but I know its there, i feel the warm sunshine in my face and think of you, i try to hold my feelings back and not cry, but i catch myself with tears coming down like a stream, i still feel this is all a dream, I feel the wind whisper around me and can feel it, I hear The Lord calling me and saying it was his time, I read your letters and cant look south as tennesee reminds me of missing years with you, I take off my socks and Kick rocks knowing your gone, the sounds of the hymns playing comfort me knowing God has me surrounded, I cant see him but hes like the wind that whispers... I feel a tug on my line and catch my first bass, I asked the Lord if a peice of my dad is with me ill catch one and I hear you whisper Ruby doo reel it in, its my first bass i cry instantly and Thank the Lord for his awesome wonders, i feel the wind whisper as i think of you. I love you dad To greive i write... Love your Ruby doo

Ruby, we're so sorry for your loss. I'm trying to think of what else to say, but words fail me. Know that we're thinking of you fondly, and hurting with you.

To the David Conley Family. I just want to pass along my condolences for your loss. I've never met Ruby and Jeremiah David's two children, I am sure he loved you both very much. To Curtis and Glenda, I am so sorry you've lost a brother. It is always sad to see our living family get smaller as we age. David lived his life on this terms no matter what. I remember him from our family reunions at aunt Dorothy's home. And I am so happy Sue and I were able to see him last fall when we were in Michigan. Our thoughts and heart felt sympathy are with all of you during this difficult time. Your Cousins Evelyn and Sue

Ruby and Jeremiah we have never met but we are cousins. I am so sorry for what happened to your dad. Also to Glenda and Curt and the rest of the family my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know what it is like to lose a sibling. They are constantly on your mind as well as in your heart. Love and prayers for you all. Glen and Marcia (Conley) Tackett.

Dad- I never expected to lose you this way, I know we had our moments but you are my father/daddy. I know you would say tata for now cause goodbyes are forever and now i have to say goodbye. I love you. I know i look at my pinkie lately as it curves and think of you, I wish i could kiss the scar on your forehead to tell you you didnt just carry me in your heart but there too, because years ago in the car accident when i was with you you protected me, i dont remember much cause i was little then but its a memory a glimpse of a father that once cared. I drift to thoughts of your corny dances and laugh and you telling me about tomatoes and fishing, and i do smile. I just want to keep thinking happy thoughts of you,your pictures of you being elvis to your funny hair dos from perms to long hair. Ill miss those things the most. I love you dad! I dont like saying goodbye but it is goodbye. Love your ruby doo.
