In Loving Memory of

James Phillip Pike

Dearest Dad, You left without saying goodbye. I know you couldnt wait, but I needed to tell you that I love you one more time and hear you say the same. Now I will never get to hear it again. How do I go on with out you. Who do I call when I need to know the planting days, tell about the new chicks, or about that fish that got away. I dont know that you hear me anymore. I need to feel you close to me some how. And I dont know where to turn. I miss you so much, that I find myself trying to call you in mornings, but you not there. But I know your are not hurting anymore and your walking and talking with Jesus. I cant forgive you for leaving but will never forget the love you gave me though the years. You were the best father anyone could ever have. I will always love you and I will tell Robbie what a great man you were.

I will miss you dearly, your first born, Lisa
