Dad,.......I love you and will miss you more than I will ever have the chance to tell. You are the single GREATEST inspiration in my life! Mom knew I needed a father to raise me and guide me more than a mother could, and God provided you for us. You gave Mom , Kathy, myself and everyone who knew you, the very best of you and that part of you will continue to live through all of us. There will NOT be a day that passes that I won't reflect back on our time together and cherish every moment we had. The selfish side of me wants you back, even for just a moment to tell you, again, how much I love you, but the christian side of me knows that one day we will be back together again to share our love. God speed, Dad. Your loving son, David.
