Daddy, I will miss you, you are my world, and will remain in my heart until we meet again in the kingdom of heaven. until then, I will teach your grandaughter everything about you and tell her often about what a wonderful person you were.

Remember this every time you pass
that little penny in the parking lot.
We usually think of it as Good
Luck but here’s another version that
makes me think of Pennies in another way:
I found a penny today
Just lying on the ground.
But it’s not just a penny,
This little coin I’ve found.
Found pennies come from Heaven,
that’s what I’ve been told.
He said Angels toss them down.
They say when an Angel misses you;
they toss a penny down –
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
To make a smile out of your frown.
So, don’t pass by that penny again
especially when you’re feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven that
an Angel’s tossed to you.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy. Tommy was my best friend growing up. Even though we had not seen each other in many years I thought of him often.
