Dad, I am going to miss our daily phone calls, hearing your voice brought me peace and strength to get by. I can only thank god for bringing you into my life. You protected your grand daughter, Amber, in life and now you hold her hand in heaven. I am so proud of the man that you are and always will be. I thank The Lord that I was with you when u left this world and I can only be strong and patient until we see each other again. Thank you for being my father.
