Harold Donald GABBARD

Dad, It has been over 6 years since you went to heaven. I can´t tell you how often I think of you or how much I miss you. As I think of you today on your birthday, I choose to think of good memories with you, the love you gave me, the example you set for us & the legacy you left behind. I will always love you & we will join you in heaven one day, thanks to our sweet Lord & Savior. Happy Birthday Dad! There is no better place to celebrate than where you are right now. Love you, Donna
