Dear Dad,
I still can't believe you are gone. You fought this battle for 33yrs with great strength, pride and dignity. They don't make them like you anymore. You are the strongest, bravest man I will ever know. I have always been proud that you are my Dad.
You have always been there for me through the good and bad, and always made me feel loved.
I will cherish all the special times we spent together, little league, coaching our basketball team at St. Ann and most of all our trip to Ireland with Robert, my favorite of all.
Words cannot express how grateful I am for all you did for us. Rest now knowing that Robert is the strong man you helped raise him to be and John is here to hold me close.
I LOVE YOU DAD, till we are together again.
Suzanne
RIP ME BUCKO XOXO
