I was so blessed in many ways for having you as my step father, you were my daddy. I am thankful for all the things you did for me, Kenny, and my mother. You always made us laugh and always had good advice, even during your last days you still were watching over me. I am glad I was able to tell you I love you and hold you like I did as a child so long ago. You have a special place in my heart, always and forever. I love you daddy.
