Dad,
You were the best father we could ever have had. You were not only our rock but you were the first one others turned to for advice and support. I will always love and remember you and will always feel you beside me. You and mom helped make all of your children who we are, good and loving people.
Thank you for being my father
Love
Dianne

Dad, you were the greatest father any girl could have. And you graced us with an unbelievable mother. We will miss you with all our hearts, which are breaking right now.
Love you forever, Donna
