To my papa: I love you and miss you. My papa was a loving father and good husband to my mother. He always made time for me when I needed help with my homework as a child. He taught me persistence, how to be dependable, to take responsibility. He is the person I admire most in my life. Until I see you again, papa. love, your daughter, Bonnie.
