Pap,you must know how much I miss you now and I know how much you miss us but the time came for you to be with Harry and Roland. I dont quite understand why some things happened to our family but I,m grateful that you were in the front to pull us through.When Harry made that plaque calling you the rock,he was pretty much dead on. Even though I will never be able to do the job that was yours, I will use all that you taught me to lead our family through. Linda, David, Kelly and Joey miss you terribly especially the things you did to make them laugh. I believe they understand that someday we will all be united again. I hope that you are really proud of me for being the dad I am and please know that everything I learned, I only learned from you.. I know I didnt say it often enough, but I love you very very much. I,ll be looking for little signs from you to let me know your with us and I know you wont let me down. Please dont worry about us because its my turn now and its your turn to rest. I wont say bye but I will say see you later.. I will always love you more than forever....frank
