Dad,
I will miss you so much. You have taught me so much growing up and I am who I am today because of you and Mom. You were always there for me guiding and teaching me the right things in life. And then you continued on teaching your grandchildren JR, Chris & Nick the same. They loved you so much and always looked up to you. You were their hero. Please continue to watch over us and stay by our side and always know that we are thinking of you. You are forever in our hearts and we love you.
Love,
Your daughter Debbie
