Dear Father,

Thank you for teaching me the virtues of dedication to God, County and Family.
I will always keep your teachings close to my heart and will pass them on to my two boys.
Thank you for being a wonderful father, caring and slow to anger. I will truly miss you.
You will always be with me in spirit. I am comforted in knowing that you are resting in peace and back home once again. "Volim te" Dovidenja.
