Dear Dad,

I missed you in my life. I was only 11 years old when
you died, but I have felt the loss in my heart ever
since. I think of you so often. I find myself talking to
you when I need help.

I have a son now, Dustin James Furr, he is 14 years
old now. I have a picture of you and me hanging on
my wall. Dustin knows all about you. John and Bill miss
you so very much also. We are all grown up now, but
we still feel the loss.

As soon as I can I will bring a picture of all of us to the
Wall in Washington. We have been to the traveling
Wall, and it was so touching for us. You have another
grandson, Jeffrey Furr.

I am trying to find people who knew you, so maybe
they can help me know you. I put off putting this
memorial for you because I didn't know what to say. I
will be back with more. I just wanted you and
everyone else to know how much you are loved and
missed by

your daughter, Kim;
your two sons, John and Bill;
and your two grandsons, Dustin and Jeffrey.

All our love to you forever, see you in Heaven.

A memorial from his daughter,
Kimberlye A. Furr
