    Earl,
    "Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal". I know that you have truly earned your wings. I will always remember you as a Real True and Genuine Friend to Evans and I. I will miss most the twinkle in your eye as you said "Come in my friend and Chicago Detective". Thank you and Sonja for allowing us to share and be a part of your beautiful family. We miss you and You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Until we see you again.

    Papa Bear,
    You always accepted and loved me as a part of your family. Though I miss you greatly, I know you had to go. I am so thankful you are no longer suffering and that you are resting in God's loving care. I am blessed to have had you as my father in law. Until we see each other again...love , Susan

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of being and ideal grace.
    I love thee to the level of every days
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle- light,
    I love thee freely, as men strive for right
    I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood faith,
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints. I love thee with the breadth,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life; and if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.

    To the best father any child could ever have! He didn't tell my brother and I how to live, but he lived and we watched him do it. The lessons he taught us, you will not find in a book! Keep your word and your promises and what is important clearly in sight. Follow your heart, but remember to be thoughtful of your mind, but always remember your intuition when things are out of line. With the shake of his hand, and the look in his eye, his word stood for something that no man could deny! Most of all remember what we meant to him, Michael, Susan, David, and especially his love Sonya and his light will never dim! Dad your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure and you are and always will be loved beyond words and missed beyond measure!!!! My heart aches daily but I know in my heart that you are now at peace and we will see you again! With all my love, Ann
