Hi Dad,
How are you today? Is everyone treating you ok over there? I hope so! I just
wanted you to know for incase you were'nt with me yesterday that the Elmwood
Cemetary locked their gate to the entrance of your cemetary. I'm not too happy
about that. I heard that they lock it up for the winter so that they don't have
to maintain the roads for the winter season. I don't think that is the right
thing for them to do. I don't mind having to walk for a bit to see you but come
snow season its not going to be easy. I don't know why they don't just plow at
least one road path. So I guess that I will be changing your decorations to
Christmas sooner than I had expected to. But I'm sure that you won't mind that
since the Christmas season was your favorite anyways. I've already been looking
around to see what I might want to put up for you, but I still have'nt made up
my mind yet. Today is a sunny day, I can't imagine that snow is just a month
away. Yuk!! OK - I will be up to see you sooner th
an usual today. I Love You & Miss You Sooo Much!!
With All My Love
And Hugs & Kisses,
Theresa
Hello Dad,
How are you today? I'm hanging in there to the best of whats expected. My tattoo
is doing good, it does'nt hurt too bad. Every now and then it feels like a
charlie horse pain which is what the tattoo artist described as a burning
sensation. I hope you like it!
But enough about all that. I writing to thank you for letting me finally
remember the fact that I had a dream about YOU. I don't quite remember if it was
based on the past, present, or future but just knowing that you came through to
me thrills the heck out of me. Thank You So Much!! Maybe as time goes on I will
remember more and more of what ever it is that your trying to tell me. I know
that you miss me. Of course you do. We ALL miss you too. For what may seem like
a very long time before we are finally able to see each other again to me is
really only moments in time for you. But eventually we will all make it there to
see you and we hope that you will be there waiting with that smile that I
remember you always had on your face. It was a beautiful sight.
I'll be up to see you this afternoon. So until then - I Love You!!
With All My Love
Your Little Girl,
Theresa
Good Morning Dad,
It's me Theresa. How are you today? I'm ok. I just wanted to let you know incase
you were not with me yesterday that I got my tattoo for you. It came out
awesome. I don't think it would have been something you would have done since it
required alot of pricking of needles. I'll admit it did hurt but it did'nt bring
me to tears. I just kept thinking of why I was doing it and I got through it
much easier. I'll be up to show you this afternoon. I can't believe I survived
my first birthday without you. I thought about you all day. But I'm sure you
must know that. Tamie got me a journal to write my thoughts in. It will give me
something to look back at someday. But my desire to see you will never diminish.
I will want to see you no matter how much time passes by. Like I said before, I
sure hope everyone is treating you good over there. I just miss you sooo much.
Did you know that Sue stopped by and gave me a birthday card and a Walmart gift
card!?! That was awfully thoughtful of her. I told her that I would rather for
her to keep any money to herself at this point. She said that it was my birthday
and she wanted me to have it. We are all feeling your loss more and more with
each passing day. I think it's starting to hit her more now than before. Richard
does lunch with her on Mondays - which is nice. I told her that I would be down
to show her the tattoo this afternoon. She could'nt believe that I got one. Like
I said "Me neither". But I wanted you with me at all times - and now you are!!
Thanks!!! I'll see you in a little while.
Love Your Little Girl
Always & Forever,
Theresa

Hi Dad, Are you there? It's me Theresa.
Today is my birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate it with me. But since
your not I'm going to the tattoo studio to get a tattoo in memory of YOU today.
I picked out one that shows that you were my dad and I Love You with ALL my
heart. Rick said that it will probably really hurt. But you know what, "I really
don't care". You mean way more than any pain could ever cause me. I want
everyone to know just how much I Love & Miss You. It's a way to show my love to
you forever. Everyone that see's it will know that you made such an impact on my
life. Tamie, Bruce (Rhonda) Wayne, and myself all met at your gravesite to see
you on what marked your being gone for exactly one month. We all told you how
much we miss you. By the way - did you like the candy I left for you? You always
liked your peanut butter cups and hersheys bars. Well I will be up to show you
my birthday gift thats being dedicated to YOU. I'm not quite sure how late it
may be but it
does'nt matter if its dark because you have lights to guide my way.
I Love You & Miss You Soooo Much!
Love Always & Forever,
Theresa
P.S. I just wanted you to know that America has made history. We just nominated
our first black president of the United States - Barack Obama!
Theresa Beaulac, Schaghticoke, NY 12154
Hi Dad,
I am here thinking about you as usual. It's been exactly one month since you've
been gone. I still don't understand why you had to leave sooo soon. Your family
here misses you sooo much and we still need you here with us. I guess we were'nt
ready to say good bye yet, not this soon. Why does heaven have to take the GOOD
people sooo soon and leave us stuck here with all the rotten stinken liars. You
were one of the one's that made a difference in people's lives; such as mine. I
can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me through out the years.
You were the most amazing, loving, caring, thoughtful dad EVER. And that's why
it's so hard to say good bye. Not having you here has been tearing me up. I
don't know how to get past it. I don't know if I ever will. How do you expect me
to just not see you anymore - all of a sudden? You've been there for me my whole
life and now your not. How am I expected to feel? I know that you've been trying
to make your self known to me b
ecause I've gotten some signs over the past couple of days. From the heads up
penny that I found in the back seat of "YOUR" car, to the candle with your
picture on it turned around, to my cell phone going off at exactly 4:43am -
which is the same time that you woke me up the morning you passed over to the
OTHER SIDE. I appriciate all of that but what I would really love is to remember
one of my dreams that your coming into. I know that I'm having them because I'm
waking up plenty of times each night thinking of you. Why can't I seem to
remember them? Please take me to your magical home and show me that you are
indeed ok so that I can relax and learn how to continue on with my life. BUT you
need to have me remember what I saw and felt. It would mean sooo much if you
could arrange for that to happen for me. Otherwise I don't know if I will ever
move on.
When I went down to your house last week and got all the old pictures of us
growing up with you I saw what a great life you made for us. You looked happy in
every picture. Some of the clothes you were wearing or even made me wear cracked
me up. They say that the old styles will repeat themselves. I don't know about
that! And to see you with a full head of hair was pretty weird too. You
definately made a huge impact on my life and I will never forget any of it. I
will be forever grateful for all of it. So, once again thank you from the bottom
of my heart. I will continue to miss you deeply.
With All My Love and Kisses,
Your Daddy's Little Girl,
Theresa

Dear Dad,
It's now Halloween 2008. I'm sure that all the little kids are gonna miss
knocking on your door and recieving your delicious candy. You always got the
best stuff. I will be up to see you today and decorate your gravesite for you.
God I miss you sooo much. It's been 4 weeks today since you've been gone. Why
does it seem like sooo much more? Christmas will be coming soon enough. It was
your favorite holiday. Without you here its not going to be the same by any
means. I hope the kids understand that I won't be as into it anymore. Holidays
are mean't for FAMILY and you were such a BIG part of it. I still listen to the
music played at the wake everyday in your memory. Today I am wearing my
sweatshirt that Wayne had made for me that reflects your life. You being in my
life has made me the person that I am today. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.
With All My Love & Kisses,
Theresa

Hi Dad its me (Theresa) again. I've been
thinking that I should STOP dwelling on the fact that your not coming back and
start rejoicing on the fact that you are a HEALTHY man again. You can now see
out of both of your eyes, your heart is beating nicely and is back to 100%, and
your lungs are free and clear of anything bad. The air that you must be
breathing now must be sooo pure and clean. I'm happy for you but just sad for me
and everyone else that misses you here with us. Tamie, Bruce, Wayne, and I come
up to see you everyday between the hours of 4:00-7:00PM so be sure to watch for
us; we've always got alot to say. I got a beautiful cross that says DAD on it
for you and planted mum plants and put in some solar lights because you know me
- I don't like walking around in the dark. Wayne put in a foot plate that has
your name on it along with your birth date and a GOOD LUCK penny, and also and
angel statue. Bruce has left you chocolate chip cookies. Today is October 27,
2008 and it is Bruce's birthday. He is 43 years old. I am meeting him at the
cemetery today with a surprise (its an apple pie). I sure hope he likes apple
pie!! My birthday is next week and I want to get a tattoo in memory of you that
says "Daddy's Little Girl". I am very proud to admit that to everyone. And maybe
by me doing that you will stay by my side everyday for the rest of my life. I
know that you don't like needles but they don't bother me too much so just don't
look as its being done. The results will be worth it. Remember that I am
thinking of you ALWAYS.
Love Always,
Theresa

Dear Dad,
I've got so much to say to you that I don't quite know where to begin. I guess I
should first tell you what an amazing dad you've been to me. If someone were to
create all the qualities in a dad that would be perfect you would be that dad.
You have done far more for me than I would have ever dreamed of. You were the
first person to ever fall in love with me. It's been 3 weeks since I've last saw
you or heard your voice yet it seems like so much more. How am I expected to
have you in my life for the past 40 years and all of a sudden not. It doesn't
seem possible to me. I've enjoyed every minute I've ever spent with you. I miss
taking my walks down to your house with Peyton (the little boy that I babysit)
and hang out on your front porch. We would visit until Peyton decided it was
time to go home for lunch. Now when we take our walks I do all that I can not to
knock on your door and tell you to meet me on the porch. I keep thinking that
I'm gonna wake up and realize that this w
as all a TERRIBLE dream. And you will call me the next day and say "Yeah, how
are your fingers? Did the operation go OK?" Which is what you would always say
to me if you didn't hear from me for a day for what ever reason. I remember
calling you after Christmas was over last year and thanking you for not only the
things you got for my family but for lasting another year with me and you said
"I'm trying Babe!" And then on your 71st birthday I called you and said the same
thing and once again you said "I'm trying Babe!" I know you were hanging in
there as long as you could for all of us. THANK YOU DAD! Of course I'm greedy
and would have loved to have had you for another 71 years but I guess that won't
happen until we meet again - only this time not just for ONLY 71 years - but -
FOREVER! You ALWAYS told me that no matter how old or how big I got I would
ALWAYS be YOUR - DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL. I will cherish that for the rest of my
life. So until we meet again - I Love You & Miss
You.
Love Always & Forever
Your Little Girl,
Theresa

I just wanted to thank everyone that came to pay there respects to my grandfather Raymond Lovely. He was an amazing man that will be missed by many. It's so hard to say goodbye when it is so unexpected, but with everyone's help and word of encouragement it makes things a little easier on us all. "Poppy we all miss you so much! Not getting the chance to say goodbye to you is killing us all! Mom has been doing better with everything lately and were going to make sure we go down and pick up all those nasty smelly green and brown things in the back yard haha! I'm sure your watching over us all each and everyday. We love and miss you. RIP

Wayne, Annette and Entire Family of
Raymond Lovely:
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ray. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Henderson and Lovely Families,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Ray was very kind, funny and loving man. I'm sorry
to of not been able to pay my last respects to him. I wish him peace. I only
knew Ray for a short time from working at Hendersons but I will never forget
him!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Sincerely,
Pam Sheehan

The greatest legacy that a person can leave is the goodness that his children share with others. I have known Jim and Darcie for a few years through their work on behalf of Special Olympics New York and the kindness and efforts on behalf of the athletes is outstanding. I know Mr. Lovely is proud that his legacy lives on in those left behind. God Bless.
