I had saved some VMs of my Dad, but eventually the phone system erased them before i thought to copy them 
My sister has found a cassette tape of my Dad reading a story, we are hoping to convert that to digital. I will lose it when I hear his voice!
My H’s co-workers were able to save the voice messages of some of their co-workers who died in a horrible accident to give to the children of the deceased. Just another possible source of voice material for anyone who suddenly loses a loved one.
@ChuckleDoodle asked : "What are some things my husband can do to help the kids remember him ? "
Your 23 & 28 year old kids will always remember their father.
The best thing that your husband can do now is to talk to the kids. Say nice, positive things. Compliment them. Tell them life is worth living & that dying is just another stage of every life.
Offer advice. Tell them that they are loved & that he feels their love for him. And not to be afraid. And to cherish the living, always focus on the positive, and to use their minds to learn & grow, & to exercise their bodies in order to stay fit, alert & happy.
And to never forget that there is a higher power.
One of the last things my dad did 21 years ago before he died, he pulled me close as though to whisper me a secret. He simply said “I am very proud of you”.
I use it often and can remember it like it was yesterday. Greatest gift I ever received.
I am so sorry.
My dad passed away very unexpectedly when I was 19. I cherish a note he wrote when I made the honor society in HS.
I wish I knew more about what it was like for him growing up. His family had some really interesting situations that we’ve since found in old newspapers that we’d love to hear the backstory on. A recording that could be transcribed would be wonderful
Names on photos. Notes for significant ages or events. Cards that fit his sense of humor. Reminisces of their childhood, of times spent together.
Peace to all of you.
