Dear Dad! Every since I was born you taught me about life. You raised me to be the woman I am today. You instilled in me the importance of education and being independent. You loved me and everyday we saw or talked to each other our conversation always ended with I love you. Words can't explain the emptiness I'm feeling right now. But I know I will see you again and we do, we will go on that fishing trip we didn't get to do. Till we meet again Dad. I love you and I will forever miss you. Take place next to your Parents and you brother and sister.
Your daughter
