Reflections for Correctional Officer James P. Zeiger

HI DAD, THANK YOU FOR MEETING MOM AND MARRYING HER BECAUSE SHE IS THE PERFECT SPECIAL MOM ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE. DAD, YOU KNOW I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS BECAUSE WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO TALK ABOUT. I WILL DO MY BEST TO LOOK OUT FOR MY FAMILY. I LOVE YOU DAD. YOUR SON JOEY.

JOSEPH E. ZEIGER

Daddy,

I still miss you and cry for you. 28 long years. I miss you so much. There is so much I want to share with you, and I can only do it this way. You must be having one great big jam session now that Uncle Bob has joined you and Uncle Pat in heaven. I was watching some old 8mm films the other day (we had them put on vhs tape). Watching all the great times camping at Lake Will and singing around the campfire.

I still talk with our cousins and they tell such wonderful stories about you, especially Cousin Pat. He loved you so much. We are having our family reunion in a couple of weeks; it will be great to see all the cousins again, yet sad to know all the aunts and uncles are gone with the exception of Aunt MaryAnn.

I love you Dad. Please keep watching over us and Mom, we are not ready to let her go yet.

Love,
Linda

DAD, I will always remember the day you didnt come home to us. But you went home to GOD, and your Dad. Now most of your family is with you and i know you are at peace. I also know that you are keeping an eye on all of us. We will always try to make you proud. Please watch over Mom we all need her, your grandchildren Jason the future Horseshoe Champion, and Jaclyn my little angel. We all miss and love you,and wish you were here. lovingly Jim.
