This amazing man, was a true friend to many, an idol to some, a caretaker, and connoisseur of anything with gravy. He defined what it meant to be a family man, unselfish, forgiving and the first and one of the only true examples of unconditional love in my life. There was nothing that stood in the way of LOVE in my home, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do to protect that LOVE. This man was my father; he forgave all my mistakes, he taught me to swim, to drive, to dance, and to take pride in all of my life’s efforts. He is my Hero, the person I will forever try to live up to. If the good Lord blesses me with a family of my own, I will pass on the “Daniel E. Mahedy Sr.” Legacy. Love your spouse, your life partner, hold there hand and never leave them without a kiss. Love your GOD, for all of your blessings the ones you pray for and even the one’s that you don’t. Love your children, your family. Remember to tell them that they were indeed a choice, and that their beautiful presence in your life is what makes you whole. Celebrate the little things in life like your birthday meal, even if its meatloaf, brussel sprouts and boiled cake. Give yourself to others; share your talents and your time with friends, and neighbors. Tell your stories and most importantly listen to the stories of others, and when you listen really listen. Daddy I love you, I will sing your songs, tell your stories and live my life every day in your honor. You’re Baby Girl, Brendy
