For Adam's parents, please know and be reassured that you raised a great man! He left many special moments and memories in peoples hearts who knew him. He was a caring, loving,funny guy who always left a smile on your facewith his little "wise cracks." He would do anything for anybody, no questions asked. Because of you he was the way he was. And for that you are very special people that did a wonderful job and should be proud to say you were his parents! Parenting is the most difficult job on earth, we all want to protect and shelter our children so that they never fail or never get hurt. Unfortunatley we can't make every decision for them and sometimes they do fail in their decision making. We as parents must always be there to love and support them and that is exactly what you all did for Adam. Im sure it was very trying and difficult at timed, but please realize he did know that you loved him and always wanted the best for him. Be proud that he wad your SON! For his siblings: Siblings fight, get along and fight more. Its just what they do! Im sure this happened with all of you a time or two :) but at the end of the day you all still loved one another and got over it. Im positive that the lover for each other never died between arguments, you may not have liked each other for a while but the love always remained. Please don't ever let the love for your brother die and know that he loved you too. Im thinking that all of you would give anything to have just one more "argument" with him :) After knowing Adam for so long, Im sure that he thought he wad always right and had to prove his point! Im sure he's arguing about something to this day! Be proud that he wad your BROTHER! For Adams children: your father was a good man! Your father loved you all very much and would have done anything for you. Always remember that! Sometimes we as parents gets selfish and make only choices for ourselves, its not until someone steps in to make the choice for us that we realize what we have been doing isn't exactly what we should be doing. We all wish we would have more time with the ones we love, however that's not our decision to make. You all need to cherish and remember the good times you spent with your dad and remember him as a good father. I believe that given more time your dad would have done what was right for himself and his family and made better choices, but we are not the ones in control of our lives, and life is short as we all know. It will be interesting to see you all grow and see your dad's traits in each of you. I can't wait! When you go outside at night look to the stars, and find the brightest one shinning. This is your dad looking down on you twinkling with delight that you are his children. Be proud that he was youth FATHER! For Adam's Spouse: Adam loved you very much! You have beautiful children with him, who deserve to know what a good man he was. Its your job now to make this happen. As with all marriages you have your ups and downs, but please don't dwell on the downs. Now is a time to celebrate and remember the good times, the fun times the love you each had for one another. It is thru you, how your children will remember their father and it is imperative that you leave a great legacy for them to remember him by. He wad a good man, and a good husband who would have done anything for his family, Unfortunatly time just ran out. Be proud that he was your HUSBAND! For Adam's friends: He was a great friend who would have given you the coat off his back. He will be missed by all those who know him, and he will be unforgettable. You too must remember the good times you had with him. He would never ask why and would never expect anything in return. He was a true friend! Im sure there are many funny stories to be told and some that probably shouldn't be told :) Never forget your friend Adam and be proud to say that he was your FRIEND! He will be missed but never forgotten! We were proud to know him and to have Adam as our FRIEND! Love, Roger and Shannon Monheiser
