Daddy, you are gone now but never forgotten in my heart. Raising me from the age of 5yrs old, it took a long time for me to feel comfortable to call you
D A D D Y, however, you always treated me as your biological daughter. You never wanted me to refer to you as my stepfather. You were also definitely a great paw paw to my kids. They loved you sooo much. We are going to miss you.
LOVE YA DADDY!!!!

Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
