My dearest Daddy,
Tears just flood my heart and eyes as I try for the hundreth time to sign this book. From the first time you played the 1-2-3 game and threw me on my bed at night when I was 5 years old to making sure I had money to buy a dress for Uncle's funeral now that I am 47, you have always met my every need. I pray you felt the love Mom, Jen and I have for you as we held your hands, stroked your hair and whispered our soft goodbyes as you slipped from us into the loving hands of our Heavenly Father. You will ALWAYS be my hero. I miss you so badly...... I will see you soon....your little wild child, Lorrie

Dee,Lorrie,&Jennifer, I was so sorry to hear about Clarence. He was the sweetest man I have ever met.He was by far the greatest boss I ever had also. I know your heart is breaking right now and I can not say anything that will help you but in time your heart will heal a little and you will start smiling when you think of him and all the wonderful times you had with him. He loved his family and you loved him and that is all that matters. God is hugging him now and you will see him again one day.

Dee, Lorrie & Jennifer,

Dee and family,
Brian and I send our deepest sympathies to all of you at this time and the days ahead. We are saddened by his loss and will miss him and his infectious smile.
He stayed positive and fought to the very end. I saw this saying below and I could see him writing this to you all:

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

Love, Dawn and Brian Tourkin
