Hey dad. Today would've been your 69th birthday. I don't know what else to say anymore but I love you and I miss you very much and happy birthday ok. Give Bono and Morris and Tracey a hug from me and also say hi to ma and pa Wessels, Tania Parenzee, Hamish, uncle Claude, uncle Edmund, Tania Young, I love you!

Everytime I come to this site I become so overwhelmed with emotion just seen your face. I never ever thought Mel, Vanessa and I would ever see the day that you would not be there for us anymore. I always imagined you to be old and grey and seen our children grow into adults. This year has become very emotional for me. I quit my job and I'm getting married in November and I am going to have to get married without you. I try not to think too much of walking down the isle without you, because when I do I start to cry. It's been 8 years since you passed away and everyday feels like you just died recently. I can still hear your voice and hear that famous Fender play downstairs. I wish you were here to see how fast Cass and Rocco have grown. To meet Clint (my fiancé), spend time with Mel, Vanessa, Matt and Mommy. We miss you so much. I wish...I just wished God had another plan for you instead of taking you away from us and that we could've had more time with you. You died so suddenly and we never had time to even say goodbye to you :-(

Thinking of you today, will always love you.

Happy 67th birthday daddy, I miss you so much today - 14 April. I wished we had all spent more time together as a family, but I guess God knew best. I know oneday we will all meet again, until then, know that I will always love you and I will never forget you for as long as I live. Love you always:-(

It's nearly six years and not a day goes by that I don't think about you or how things would've been if you were still alive. I miss you with every passing day Dad. You have a beautiful grandson whom Im so sure you would've loved to bits. I wish you can come back and stay, but I know that's not possible. Unytil we meet again:-(

Just missing you today... Wish you were here. The weather is just as you liked it and the festive spirit is about, just the way you loved it. Love you Daddy...

I just came onto this website to hear the song and to .... write this, It's very strange that i am writing this because you can't read it, but i will write it anyway. I miss talking to you Daddy. I miss just picking the phone up and hearing your voice. I miss hearing your music playing, i miss hearing you play the guitar. I miss how cross you used to get for me and so many others. I miss seeing the love you showed my baby girl. I miss your humour, i miss your intelligence. I most of all miss your understanding of things. I MISS YOU terribly Daddy and i really hope that there is a way that you can read this in Heaven, because i really want you to know that I miss you and Mommy misses you and Jillian and Melanie misses you and Cassadi cries for you all the time. I hope you are happy , as i said before, i am sure you are. I honestly can't wait to see you again, really. If there is any comfort in the fear of dying it would be that I will be seeing you....I will be able to talk to you...

Cos it's 3 years already today. I feel like the wait is not over but something is telling me that it should be because you are having so much fun where you are. I sit back and think, that you should be having a ball, because i know how much you loved your wife and children and grandchildren, so to have something keep you from us has to be as they say "PRETTY DAMN AMAZING" and i can only think of one place that could be and where you belong more so thatn ever and that is HEAVEN. Cass cried for you the other day and i never shed a tear because i know and take comfort in knowing that you are waiting for us and that you are probably not even reading this, but the comfort in writing it makes it more worth it, cos it's like the order is being placed for our next meeting Daddy. I eally thought and was under a positive impression that you will make your flawless appearence again one day and i even went to sleep now thinking that it would be grand and you would come back on the hour of your anniversay. But aagh man back to reality it's almost that time and well, that just not the way things work, and you would probably be laughing at me if you had to see my wait and feel my anticipation. All i can say right now is, good for you daddy, that you are somewhere other than here. So much has changed in the world since you left. Let's just say aside form having so many stories to tell regarding my kids, stories to tell about the world you were so interested in, we will have to set aside some days when i come and see you. So ..... this is not a day that i want to say Oh i remember you the most, because it's no special to ALL the other days i wake up thinking about you or the other times i thought today might be the day he came back cos he has to know how much we missing him he has to know the pain that we are all feeling, he has to see how far we have drifted from each other he has to see that he has to know. He is with the one being that connect him to the truth of the matter. But ... that is not how it works. So i am not going to say that this day is the one day that i think of you the most cos it's the day you left so suddenly. I will just say that it's okay that you are not coming back ( I can't see through my tears here hahah) and that I hope that it's all that you thought it would be. Today more than ever i have no doubt that it is Daddy. Have fun and I love you.

I miss you so much today, daddy - on your three year death anniversiry 15/08/2008 :-(

Im glad i got to spend the last five years with my father, even the day before he died is a day i will never forget. He was a great inspiration to me. He led a full life. I always told him i admired how much he loved my mother and never messed around behind her back. He was a good father! Im glad I have wonderful memories of my dad!!

My memory of Mr Wessels is Vanessa Birthday party and he took out his guitar and played "Good Golly Miss Molly" and Mark "buttons" sang so lekker and we all had a blasting time. That was the night I found out about Mr Wessels great talent.

Thinking about you today Daddy.... Miss you very much. Wish I could just hear your voice...
