Hey dad, it's lilly. Yesterday was my birthday, I'm 14 now it's crazy how time Flys. I wish you were here to celebrate with us, I hope everyone you knew still thinks about you, cause I know I do. I k ow I didn't know you for very long but what I do know is that you would've been a great father to me. I wish God didn't take you from us so early in life but I'm sure he had a reason. I hope your having a good time in heaven and I hope one day I'll meet you there.
- love your daughter Lillian
