Just wanted to see dads messages again. I miss him more and more every day. I too find myself looking up to the heavens and talking to him, and knowing he's looking over all of us kids and being proud of the people we have become. We couldn't have become those people without the parents we had raise us. I love him dearly and want just one more hug or one more kiss, but I find comfort in knowing I will see him again too. Love you dad.
Two years have passed and it still seems very strange that you are not here in the physical world. I miss your laugh,your smile,your wisdom,your strength but most of all I miss your love. I know you hear me pray for you each morning and I always ask God to wrap his arms around you with love peace and forgiveness. I love you and can't wait to see you again. Watch over me dad, I'm always looking up;)
It has almost been one year since you passed away. There isnt a minute that goes by that I dont think about you still. I find myself doing the little things you taught us and trying to teach them to the kids. I keep looking up when I need an answer to a problem hoping youll still help. And I can always count on you still talking in my ear with the right answer. I see your smile everyday in my head when I think about the final days we spent together. It's like you were trying to tell me not to worry. I got this son. Like you always said. I guess most of all I just miss talking to you......I love dad. Ps. Dont worry about mom. Everyone is doing what you told us to do. "Take care of your mother"........yes sir!
Today is May 14, 2013 I didn't know about this memoriam - What a beautiful tribute to my dear brother(-in-law) - he was more like a brother to me - When I was born, Irv and my sister Yvonne were seniors in high school at St. Mary's in Mt. Clemens - I came across this prayer years ago and I think it's from St. Gertrude (I've changed and added some words) but it says at the bottom of the prayer card that 1,000 souls will be released from Purgatory every time someone says it - I don't think Irv will need it because he was wearing the brown scapular which means if he didn't go to Heaven the second he died (and I'm sure he did) that Our Blessed Mother Mary would take him up personally the following Saturday -
"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for the holy souls in Purgatory, especially members of my family who have recently been called to You, Irvin Schulte, Mary Lynn, Jerry Kroon Sr., Robert Schulte, Rodney Kroon, Joey Schulte and Mary Margaret Diamond, and all of my family and friends. Amen"
I could write a very lengthy message here about many things that happened to me because of Irv's extreme generosity but I don't know how long the space is, so I'll come back later .....I love you and miss you so much, Irv !!!
Wonderful memories visiting my mother Gertrude who lived next door to a most wonderful couple. God's blessings & comfort to all the Schulte family.
