Daddy, you were the strongest most honest man I have ever known, thank you for all that you taught me, your inspirations and your unconditional love and always believing in me. You fought the fight of cancer harder than anyone I have ever seen and never complained. I miss you today as much as I did the day you went to be with the lord. But I know you are at peace and have no pain. I know you and mama watch over me and my family and guide us each and everyday.. I love you daddy
Your loving daughter,
Laurie
