My dad layed down his last ladder, put away his last chisel and dipped his last paint brush all for the biggest canvas of all the heavens. So when I see the awesome orange painted sunset skies, I will know heaven has the greatest artist of all- "my daddy"! Thanks for all you did for us, you were the most couragest person I knew and I always felt safe and protected . We will cherish all the beautiful memories you blessed us with forever!!!!! XOXO
