"Hi daddy, Yesterday was your 47th anniversary. The love you and mom share continues to inspire me. I know I haven't written to you in a long while and I'm sorry for that. I miss you so so much. Not a day goes by that I don't cry for you. My life has been such a struggle. I have felt so lost since you left. As I'm sure you know, Matt and I didn't work out, but I truly think that was a blessing from you because I found me a wonderful man. His name joe and I really do love him, and I have put him through hell as he tries to figure out my life. He said he asked you for a sign and I think you've been sending them. You and his dad went to school together and his parensts have been together almost as long as you and mom. I think he really does love me and will help me get back on track to making you proud. I'm sure you've been assigned to be someone else's guardian angel and I'm sure they need you so I'll let you get back to them. Just know I love you so much and I miss you like crazy. Can't wait till I get to see you again. Keep and eye on mom and I because we still need you. Love you, Your little Angel "

Dakota got married Saturday it was very nice to see him. He was very happy that Autumn and I came. I'm not working anymore and it gets pretty lonely. I miss you very much.Love Always"

"This is what Dad believed. Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

"A Great Man. My Dad is greatly missed. Wish you were here to give advice when needed, or a little push when needed. But, one thing sticks with me from when you were here. That is Jesus Christ died for me. Jesus shed his blood so I could be saved, for all to be saved. You were saved. I witnessed this. You led me to our Savoir Jesus. I am saved. Thank you for leading by example. I now carry the same wish you did. To get the family to church and lead them to Christ. The power of the Lord to heal, to comfort is amazing. The peace that comes with being saved is indescribable. Nothing compares to knowing we are saved. I pray for the family to come, get to know the Lord. If they could see just a small amount of what it does, I know they will give their life to Christ. I am grateful that you went through your troubles. Heart disease and cancer. I know it sounds bad, but its not. If these things didn't happen who knows what would have been. God has a plan. Part of the plan was for us to go through this as a family. I believe the Lord knew you were very strong and that you could handle the pain. At the same time you had pain, you found our Lord Jesus. And we watched you change into a glowing man. Big giant smiles no matter how bad the day was. Your eyes began to glow. Your hair turned white. You grew in the Lord and the Lord grew in you. I remember Dad saying Jesus must be real, I am healthier now than ever. That was 7 years into the battled with cancer. We all witnessed the new man come out. Your spirit was more alive than ever. Praise the Lord. Now you reside in Heaven, a place we can only try to imagine. I know I will see you again. The Bible tells me. If we all give our hearts to Jesus just as Dad did we will all be together again. This is what makes a great man. Lead don't follow. Be filled with the word of the Lord. Spread his good name. We can all be saved, Pray: Lord forgive me for I am a sinner. I believe you sent your son Jesus to die for me on the cross. I believe he shed his blood for me so I can be saved. I am sorry for my sins. I surrender my life to you. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me. I believe you will conquer my sins and through you I am saved. In Jesus' name Amen. We all can be saved he is here knocking at your door. Answer the door and let him in just as Dad did, you will not regret it. God Bless and thank you for everything. I miss you greatly. I am truly at peace that you are in Heaven. "

"Hi Dad, well im working my butt off at the facility.Tomorrow will be day 12 for me. It was hard getting out of bed this morning lol. They keep saying that they will transfer a room with my name on it so i can just stay there lol.No way. I miss our talks everyday when i got off work. Mom and i talk bout you all the time.Miss you so much Daddy. Love you "

"Hey Dad, sorry its been awhile a new company took over where i work. Boy the changes lol but change is good. I work all the time now i only get 5 to 6 days off a month now. I miss you o much.Hank and I celebrated 20 years on the 16th. Took mom mini golfing with us to help us celebrate had a good time. Love you Dad talk to you again soon."

"Hi Honey, Well another grandson Lauren , gradurated May 31 2014. It' lonely here again as of Mon. he left for Minn. to live with his mother. He knows that you are proud of him. Love you and miss you."

"Hi honey, wow 2 years already. Went by fast. Still have trouble being by myself. Miss comming home and you saying don't take your shoes off we're going for a ride. Don't go anywhere much it's just not the same without you. thinking of you all the time. Love You"

"It has been 2 years since you went to be with the Lord. It still seems like yesterday. I remember Dad saying, time makes it easier but you never forget. True. The Lord makes it comforting. Dad you led me to the Lord. You making the choice to be saved, help save me. Jesus works on us one person at a time. You, that's how Jesus got me. Not by death, by Life. Your Eternal life. I will never forget the talks we had about the Bible and Church. You telling me how Jesus must be real, and how you got better. Jesus is real. Dad showed me. You said walk with the Lord and all things are good. True. Sometimes things don't seem right, but learn to trust the Lord and believe in the Lords plan. Then things will fall in place. Dad taught me that as well. Your wish will come true, for all of us to come to the Lord. Because one word at a time the Lord draws us near. Just as he used you to give me a message. The message was witnessed by all of us kids. The glow in your eye, the smile on your face. I miss those days. Dad was a great father, and a great leader. Forever in our hearts, we all miss you. I rejoice knowing that you are with the Lord. We can all be with you if we follow your steps. Heavenly father thank you for such a great Dad we all enjoyed the time you gave us. With Love. See you soon "

"It's me daddy! your little angel! You may have watched all them John Wayne, Roy Rodgers, and Gene Autry movies because they were good actors and singers, but did you realize that you looked way better in a cowboy hat and boots? Hell yea ya did! I wish I could still have a few more years with you. You promised me two very important things like watching me accept my college diploma and giving me away the day you walk me down the isle, on my wedding day in the most beautiful dress an angel could wear. Although now you will not be there in sight, you will always be there in heart, you will not be there to support, but you'll be there to guide. During these last few weeks, I have come to realize that not only was it the hardest week that I have ever been through but it is now known as the week that I became the strongest young woman. I love you daddy, and I will keep my promises by graduating college and getting married to the man I love, but I need you to guide me. Love Always, Your Little Angel."

"To my loving husband GARY of 42 years I will always love you forever and miss you deeply. You won't have to worry about me as we have a great family that will look after me. When my time comes i'll be there with you again. LOVE ALWAYS, Gloria"

"I have known this man for a lot of years, many childhood memories with the Krueger family. I always remember him smiling, and i don't ever recall a time when he raised his voice to us kids. I saw him around from time to time the last few years and every time I'd ask him about his kids or his grandkids his smile always got a bit bigger and his eyes would gleam. He was a good man and I'm glad I had the pleasure of knowing him. "

"To all of you: Words cannot even begin to explain how heavy my heart is for all of you. It has been a difficult week watching one of my best friends, Spring, hurt and mourn on the loss of a great man. I unfortunately did not get to spend alot of time with Gary...but from what I do know he always had a sense of humor, a smile upon his face even when he suffered, and an outstanding love for his family and friends. May God help you all through this difficult time and may he hold Gary in his arms and lead him to his new everlasting life. Always hold on to the memories and know that the tears you cry are ones in which are flowing because of how much you cherished him. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal". If you need anything please let us know...anytime. Rest in peace, Gary. I am glad to know that you are in safe hands. Thank you for the wonderful daughter, my friend, in which you gave to me. With love, blessings, hugs, and friendship. "

"dad i will miss you deeply. i will remember you everyday of my life.. i hope i can raise my kids as well as you and mom did us. thank you for the great birthday you and mom spent with me i enjoyed your company as i always did .. i will miss you stopping in at my work and visiting with me it kept the manotony down and thanks for all the capacinno's on those cold winter days.. i love you dad and always will .. till we meet again in the lords house.. "

"April, so sorry for your loss. Knowing you shows me that you must take after your father. Be strong during these times and remember how he fought a strong battle against his illness. God keep you close at this time and remember His strength will carry you through. miss you"

"The Krueger Family holds a special place in my heart. Gary & Gloria raised a great family together and I am honored to know them. I did not know Gary well as others but I wish him God's Speed....may we all meet again. From myself & my family, our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences go out to all the family & friends of Gary Eugene Krueger. May strength & peace comfort and guide you through these most difficult times. "

"Dad, you battled and fought all your life. For yourself and us. Your latest fight was the hardest. You showed we must continue to live and laugh no matter how bad things get. We are grateful to have had these extra years. Some of your grandchildren would not have known their Papa. They would have missed out on some great lessons in life. You had your values and opinions. This and more, is what I loved about you. You will be missed, never forgotten!! I will try to be the Father that you have been! By the way, I was always catching you in age. Now I will pass you!! :-))-Gary Krueger II"

" To my Krueger family; I cannot tell you how heartbroken I am at the loss of my father-in-law. He was a good father and a wonderful "papa" to all of his grandchildren. If we could hear him speak right now, this is what I know he would say to all of you: To my Dearest Gloria and family . . . There are some things I'd like to say, but first of all, I want to let you know that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from the Rainbow Bridge. Here I dwell with God above. Here there are no more tears of sadness; there is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight, Remember that I am 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, And as for your dearest loved ones, they'll be here later on. I need you badly, you are part of My plan; there's so much 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 days chores put to flight; God and I are close to you in the middle of the night. When you think of 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 as it does relieve the pain; remember there could be no flowers, unless there could be some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned; if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth in over; now, more than ever before, my life to you is closer. 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 now I'd like it to be for you too; that as you give to 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 content that my life was worth while; knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you are 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 your body to be free; remember you're not going. You're coming here to me. Love, Your Eternal Gary and God "

"Dad I will miss you deeply, and just as I do everyday with Grandma, I will think of you everyday of my life. You were a Mans Man, said it how it was, no matter what others thought. When life got tough you showed all of us kids how to deal with it, that was by standing up and facing our problems with strength and courage. You always had a great sense of humor, even when times were very tough. Thank you for being a great father, and friend. I love you and already miss you greatly. I will see you again someday love Ray.. "

I have never before knew someone that dispite all of his troubles & pain he kept on moving forward even though it was very hard at times he never gave up! Although I was/am not ready for you to go I know God was ready to bring you home and take all that pain away, for that I am grateful to know that you are in peace now. I Love You so much and will miss you deeply."
