Though our relationship did not last, I am deeply saddened by the loss of someone who played such an important role in my life. As the father of our beloved daughter, Brandi, you will always hold a special place in my heart.
Even though we took separate paths, we were united in our love for our child. For that, I will be forever thankful. My deepest condolences to you, your family, and all who knew and loved you. May you rest in eternal peace.
