Words cannot express how much you are missed. You had always been my greatest supporter. Cheering me on through accomplishments, encouraging me to pursue my interests, and helping me through difficult times. Not only were you a wonderful dad, you were also my best friend. I am fortunate to have so many great memories of you. Life will not be the same without you but I know you will be guiding me in spirit. Rest in Peace, Dad. I know we will see each other again. Love you always.
