Oh Dad, I will miss you so much! The 4 of us feel a great heaviness and loss. Our hearts are breaking. Not to expect and hear your voice 4 times a day is unbearable. Who is going to call me to watch our great old movies? What makes this a little easier is to know you will no longer be worn and tired and that you left peacefully without pain. We promise you that mom will be well taken care of! Take care of all my cats in heaven! I Love You Dad
