You had a way of making each of us feel like we were so loved, just for being ourselves. I've never known anyone who is as lovingly accepting of other people, only seeing the best in each person. I hope you know how many people will miss that about you. I feel very lucky to have had that kind of unwaivering love and security in my life. I miss you so much, Daddy.

There will never be another one like our Dad. I am so happy that Mom and Dad are together again. They taught us how to love.
