Dearest Daddy,



I know you are in a peaceful place but, I am selfish and want you to still be here with your family.



I would walk a million miles for one of your smiles.



I know you are in "Fisherman's Haven" in Heaven. We will have your memorial tomorrow (3-9-03) and I know you will be watching your children as we release goldfish into the lake in your Honor. Please take care and look after us from above for the rest of our lives - until we all can be together once again.



We will miss you a lifetime.



I LOVE YOU POPS ! ! !



Love your son,

Kenn
