Moma:
You are the strongest person I know. As sad as Daddy's death makes me, it also makes me so very proud to watch how you handle this.
You were so gracious at the visitation, speaking to everyone and making them feel comfortable when they didn't know what to say - even when you were so very tired and emotional.
I am proud to be your daughter and I love you very much.
