   Rylee wrote this about her dad.

   — (DAD)
   your room is so cold &
   empty &
   still.
   i look at your door &
   i wonder when you will
   appear from its
   depths.
   you always come back,
   don’t you?
   so why is everyone
   laughing
   in the living room without
   you,
   why does no one dare to
   sit in your seat?
   no one is looking
   at anyone else &
   we are all touching without
   feeling.
   we lay in your bed &
   i try to imagine your body
   in this space,
   tangled in these
   sheets.
   lungs &
   heart &
   clever, clever brain
   slowing down.
   lights flickering,
   candles burning out.
   i can remember your
   face &
   your voice &
   your warmth
   the last time i saw you.
   you were so, so
   alive.
   weren’t you?
   warm &
   big &
   solid,
   right beside me.
   why didn’t i tell you everything
   i have never said?
   you were there &
   you loved me &
   it was not enough to convince me to
   stay.
   how do we forgive ourselves
   for the things we could not say?
   did not say?
   will never say?
   if i could,
   i would say it hundreds of times.
   i would say it a million times over
   if it would bring you back.
   i love you,
   i love you,
   i love you,
   you were enough for me.
   i was so, so proud of you.
   i believed in you.
   i need you.
   i will never be the same without you.
   you will be with me for the rest of time.
   i love you, dad.
   i love you.

   Wiseman Family,
   My condolences to your family. Critter brought a unique tenacity to everything he did and I’ll never forget our time together chasing childhood dreams on baseball fields across Montana. So sorry for your loss.

   We are so sorry for your lose. Kris always spoke to us when he saw us. And we remember how much fun he had growing up in the East Helena school district.
   Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

    Sorry for your loss. Critter was such a nice young man. I remember the fun I had coaching him in Babe Ruth baseball. Critter always had a smile on his face. When ever we ran into him he always had time to talk. He will be missed by all. I wish there was something that could erase the pain your going through. Keep all his memories close to your heart.

    Jim and family,

    I was saddened to read of Kris’s passing. I relayed the news to our son Dan who had great memories of Kris from their days as classmates in East Helena. Also, Kris and Dan had worked together at Elkhorn Health and Rehabilitation Unit in Clancy. May God be with you all. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
