Dad - because of your love for your family I have had 15 years of marriage to a wonderful husband and father. I am thankful everyday for the wonderful son that you raised. The love between you and mom has shown me what a happy marriage can look like. That is a gift that you have given to your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thank you!

Thank you Grandpa for 27 amazing years, putting many smiles on my face with ice cream cones of all flavors and for settling my fear of the school bus by telling me that it is just a big yellow tractor. You've always been supportive in everything that I've done or had done (even the tattoos) and I have nothing but appreciation and respect for you and Grandma. You're an amazing person to model life after. Thank you for that!!

Love,
Jessie
