I miss you Daddy,
This is your oldest daughter, Shelly. I'm glad that I was able to move back home and spend precious time with you and to take care of you when you needed me the most. You've been a great father and haved raised me with good morals and values. Thank you. It reflects everytime someone says, "you remind me of your dad". I could never be more proud than when I hear those words. You never met a stranger and had no enemies. You are my best friend Dad. I love and miss you with all of my heart.
Love always, your Shelly-Bean. OX
