Daddy it's still so hard to believe that you are gone.
Now I wonder where do I belong…Why did you have to leave…Why did you have to go...
I miss you so much

Thoughts of you are always with me Daddy, today I blew you a kiss and sent you a hug, I told an Angel to carry it to you. I also sent a message of I love you and ask Jesus to tell you for me. As the Angels watch over you and Jesus keeps you in his care… Wait a little while longer and one day I will be there with you and we can have those Father & Daughter talks like we use to.

Love you Daddy...Brenda

I am So Sorry For the Loss of Your Loved One.

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly ente...r into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
Isaiah 57:1-2

If roses grow in heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for me---
Place them in my Daddy's arm's and tell him they're from me---
Tell him that I Love and Miss him and when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile---
Because remembering him is easy, I do it everyday---
There's an ache with all my heart that will never go away.

Love Always, Brenda
