I am so thankful I had you in my life. You were an amazing man and father and someone I looked up to and admired since I can remember. I will never forget the times we had together and the unconditional love and support you always gave me. You will be in my heart and I will think of you and miss your sweet face every day! Until we meet again Daddy... All My Love Always and Forever, Janice
