Dear Dad:
I miss you very much and think of you every day, and most especially today on your birthday.
We enjoyed such a wonderful family birthday celebration last year in September ... it is a special memory that I will always treasure. I remember you happily enjoying every moment of the party festivities -- even wearing your Hawaiian shirt and bandana, to be in the tropical theme!
I miss your strength, your support, your counsel, and your sense of humor ... and that special warmth I felt whenever you gave me a hug. You gave our family so many happy memories, Dad, and I will hold them dearly in my heart forever.
I love you, Dad.
Your Daughter,
Kathy

Happy Birthday Dad!!
We visited the cemetary today. The weather was sunny, warm and brezzy. Perfect B-Day weather. The family celebrated the Sept. birthdays this past weekend. The theme was Hollywood on Parade. We all remember your birthday with us last year. You were great in your Hawaian shirt with the bandana and flower on your ear. You are missed, remembered, always loved and especially always in our hearts!
Your Loving FAmily
