Dad,
I Love You so much and miss you terribly. I promise I will take care of the family and will draw strength from everything you taught me. You are deeply missed but I know you are no longer in any pain and your suffering is over. I take comfort in that but it doesn't take away the pain of losing you. I owe everything to you, thank you for being the greatest Father and also my best friend.
Love You Forever,
Pete
