Dad, I miss you more than you know. You always taught me to be strong, but it has been very hard these past few days. I am glad that I was blessed to have you as my Father here on this earth. I have taken all of the life lessons you have taught me to heart. We have so many memories of good times, we could write a book. So many people miss you. The outpouring of prayers and love for you has been amazing. You may be gone from this life, but I know you will always walk beside me. I know that you are with Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Jim, and all of the friends you have lost through the years. I know you are free from all suffering. Please continue to watch over Mom and I as we continue our journey through life. Fly high Daddy...I'll love you forever and always!
