Letters to Dad – Sue

Posted On August 27, 2008 | Filed Under Family 

For all of you who have known my father John Poffenberger, you know that he was a very strong willed man, and a character, and a man who was doing it his way, right or wrong.

But the thing you knew most about my father was his love for his family. For Dave, myself, Julie and Mark, he was very proud of each of us, he may not have said in so many words, but he was. He was always there when we needed him, in the good times and the bad. We could tell him anything and he would always listen, rarely criticize

As for all of his grandchildren, Jeremy, Amanda, Ryan, Emily, Randy, Andrew, Kelsie, Russell, Mitch, Steve, Erik, Grace, Jessica, and his great grandson, Dylan. I want you all to know how much you were loved by your grandfather. You are all the light of his life, his eyes would sparkle any time your names were mentioned. He was very proud of each of you, and loved to brag to all who would listen to each of your accomplishments, no matter how big or small. I want all of you to be proud that you had a grandfather who loved you so much. Please share your memories of him with your own children one day, they will know by the stories that you tell how very much he loved you.

My own memories of my father will be most precious to me, as I’m sure yours will be to you. But always know that Dad has very special memories of each one of us also that he will carry through out eternity.

And for my father, I want you to know that you will always be loved and dearly missed by you family.

And to the good Lord above, I want you to know that there are no warranties, no guarantees and no returns.
