Dad, I carry you in my heart. Thank you for watching over my loved ones as well as me!! Thank you for establishing the resilience that I now have. Loving you always and forever!!

Well Dad, sleep on in your well deserved eternal rest, 14 years now. Fourteen years remembering you each day and as well understanding more and more daily the struggles you went through in so many ways. It is a truism indeed that the older we are blessed to become the more we appreciate the wisdom of those who conceived us and raised us . Sleep on. Love always, John
