Daddy, you, to me, were the best man on the planet. Though you didn't think so. Worked so hard your whole life and always deserved better in my book. So many memories that at the moment, are breaking my heart because I miss you so much already. So many things I will never forget and always be grateful for. Our trips everyday for two years up and down 79 to the Art Institute, making sure I got there no matter what.I would not have graduated if not for you. We always had fun, talked laughed and people watched. Our hysterical times at Eat n Park. Lucky we never got thrown out! Could go on forever here. Please know that I will love you forever and think about you everyday. Cindy
