No one told me that would be the last time I talked to you.
So with that said, I have a few things I want to say to you, one more time:
You have been the best Daddy a girl could have. I just wanted to say yet again, thank you. Thank you for REALLY loving me
unconditionally.
You were always my rock. You were always there to make me laught when life was hard. You were my #1 fan and I knew I could
always count on you, Daddy. You were such a great dad to all seven of us kids and the friends we brought in to our lives.
I hope you hear me on this: you are the best Dad in the world. You did your job well, and I want you to know that.
I also wanted to say thank you for loving us and being the Daddy you are. You mean the world to every one of us.
Thank you Daddy for loving every part of my life and allowing us to have the fun loving crazy family we have.
I have so many things to say to you Dad, but I know how impatient you are, so in closing:
Thank you for continually putting yourself second to make sure we were taken care of. You and Mom raised seven kids and
we all turned out to be pretty good adults. Good job Daddy!
I know you held on as long as you could, Daddy. I regret that I didn’t get to see you before you went to Heaven. I know you didn’t
want to leave your family behind… but I also know you are with Grandma, your Dad and your brother. Dad I want you to know
that we are going to be okay and we will take care of Mom. Thank you again for being the Daddy you didn't have to be.
I love and miss you. You are always on my mind, Daddy. With all my Love your Daughter Chantel xoxoxoxo
