Dearest Dad -
Thirteen years ago we had to unwillingly say goodbye. Your memory and legacy lives on in our hearts and minds. We miss you every day, and wish you were still here, but we are so glad that you don't have to deal with these very trying times. We know that you are surrounded by family and friends that went before you. Our brother John, your beloved Val, and your son-in-law Chris have since joined you. The thought that you were there to welcome them eases the loss we feel. Please watch over us until we see each other again
