Dad,

I'm going to miss you tremendously, but I'm glad you're no longer in pain. You lit up so many people's lives and knew exactly what to say to make them laugh.

You went too soon. I'm not going to say goodbye because I will see you again someday.

Remember... This was just your "Temporary Home".

I love you always,

Rick Pfaff
