Dad I did what I always told you I would do after you died. I touched your belly button and you didn't cringe like all the other times I tried to.

You were always a good Dad I will remember the good times and even the not so good times, that's part of life.

I'M glad you are with Grandma and Grandpap tell them I said "HI".

I love you and I will miss you until.......

Dad, I am so glad I got here in time to see you. I know you and Jason are together somewhere playing a round of golf, and of course you are making sure there is no slow play being the ranger and all. On your journey may you never have to stop and ask for directions, you know what I mean. I love you and you will always be in my heart and memories.

Jamie, The favorite daughter
