From the short period of time I knew you, I thought that you were a good person and you really loved life and your family. I know that you are now with your wife and other loved ones that have passed. You were always kind to strangers and you always gave to those in need when you could. You will be missed although your memories will live on forever.

Sincerely,

Melissa, Jack, & Blake Dempsey
