Dad, i cant believe i am writing in your guest book for your obituary....its hard to swallow that you are gone. I really will miss you...you were there for me from the beginning, like a good dad should be. It was selfish of me to want to keep you here when you suffered so much...i guess i always thought you were superman. I know you are in a better place but i still wish you were here with us. I know you are watching over us now, and you will always be here with us.....always. I love and miss you dearly...R.I.P. Untill we meet again beyond the skies. Your daughter Davia .
