Not sure what to say?

I very sorry I couldn't fly out to see you with Tandy and the boys. I am very thankful that you and they had that opportunity. I am also very thankful that you had found Jesus and are resting peacefully in Heaven. I will remain forever indebted to you for giving your blessing and walking Tandy down the aisle. And I will be forever humored by your last words as you gave her away; "now is your last chance to run..."

Sleep peacefully Bill. You have earned it.

I love you.
