To Dawn & kids
I sure didn't get to know you dad as well as I would have liked but what learned when I did meet him was that he had a strong presence about him. He was smiley, a proud man, he loved your momma and you kids a bunch. He fought very hard to hold on. I'm sorry that he didn't beat the tumors.
Know that he watching over you all and your momma. God be with you. Bless you all. Thank you for inviting me in to your lives. I'm sad for you all but your daddy is with Jesus and in no pain now. Hugs to all.
