Cathy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will truly miss your Dad; he was a wonderful, and caring person. He was my Buddy. He always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.
Cathy, I hope it may help you to remember,
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
