Daddy,

You shaped the character of each one of your children like no other man could have. We are so fortunate that you were our father, I will always be proud to be one of your daughters.

The hours we spent together making jewelry live in my memory as some of my happiest times. As hard as it must have been to find time to spend with all five of us individually, you made it look easy - the magical talent of being a good father.

Rest in peace, Daddy - I love...

I love you, daddy, and all the wonderful time we spent together, often lost on the road or in a parking lot somewhere. You were always a good sport about my directional handicap and I enjoyed the jabs you made at my expense. May you rest for eternity in the hand of God. I'll miss you but will see you again, I know. -----Katie
