Hey Fatter than me...
I will miss you forever.You have been such a strong presence in our lives, and I know that you always will be.This message is for Susie, Glennie, Melinda, Margie and George... Although it has been 17 years since my Dad has past, I miss him more now than ever. The one thing that helps me to not feel like he is gone forever is by remebering that he will always be with me because he is in my heart, and I am in his. Please try to remember that when you need your Dad,or are just missing him. You guys are the biggest part of you Dad, and he will always be in your heart, as you will always be in his. I hope that can help you somehow, I know that it helps me in a comforting way. I love you guys with all my heart! Don't forget : December 15th, Chickie and Petes on the Blvd.,Monday night football, and most importantly, to be together.
Love,
Danielle (FAT"S)
