Pa,
I love you and miss you. I published this obituary permanently so we can all post notes here. Your sister, Muriel, joined you this week ): and I hope you two are together again. I wish I could talk to you again. I miss you forever. Lots of love to you, always.

As a child, I adored my father. As an adult, I sought his advice and cherished time together. Twenty-six hours before he died, I said to him "I love you Daddy", he responded, as he always did "I love you baby" and those were his last words. He died the next day holding on to my hands...and I will hold on to him forever...
