To my father, the love of my life from day one, and forever. The love and respect that we had for each other was unmatched. As a child I would wait at the window each day for his return home from work, the highlight of my day, my hero, my protector. I wait still to see him again, what a glorious, awesome day that will be.
Until then, I miss and love you Daddy with all my heart. Please give Frankie a kiss for me.
Your Daughter,
Cheryl

I've always known I was blessd with a wonderful father. For those who knew him, they will immediately bring up his extraordinary humor; with countless stories of his antics. He was incredibly funny and recieved such joy from making others laugh. However, for me, first and foremost I think of his unconditional love and dedication to his family.
My father was always there for me. A fierce protector; when I was a young girl he drove me whenever and wherever I needed to be. When visiting friends in the neighborhood he would wait for me on the corner to watch me cross the street at the appointed time - even when I was in high school! When I visited my family after I married, before I left he would tell me, "Call when you get home". Low and behold if I didn't phone I'd receive the call from my Mother saying, "Your Father wanted to make sure you were home". One of the sweetest and saddest memories I have is visiting him at his home when he was gravely ill, resting on his hospital bed, still saying, "Call when you get home".
How I miss my Father, my protector - today, tomorrow and always.
God Bless Daddy,
Paula
