Dearest Pappy:

As the weather starts to warm up and the day get longer I will miss your story and company time has always

had away of flying by when you came over. Nothing will seem as lonely as not having you around for spring and summer with each passing warm day I will think of you and your warm and loving friendship and thank GOD for the blessing of having a friend so dear you will always be apart of our family Pappy Dave

You was heaven sent and now your home with Jesus I can't wait to see you in Heaven someday. Love you Pappy.
