Daddy:
Even though we were not as close as we should have been I know that you loved me the very best way that you knew how to. You will always be my father and in my heart and thoughts each and everytime a personal milestone for myself or one of your grandkids occurs. I refused to cry when you left because I knew you were finally at peace and Grandma Rose is with you once again. I will miss you but I will see you one day again:)
Your Daughter,
Shontia

I was saddened when I heard the news of your father's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Something Beautiful Remains
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.....
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
