Dad, you were a loving and caring man that I will deeply miss. You helped shape the person I am today and I am greatful for that. Thanks for the memories that I will keep with me always. Hugs and kisses to mom and rest in eternal peace.
Your loving daughter, Christine

Dad, thank you for being my father. You were a great man who I am sorely going to miss. I hope you'll be proud of me as much as I was proud in you. Enjoy God's love and being reunited with mom and everyone else you loved and who meant something in your life. God Bless.
