The loss of my father will always sting. This is the price you pay for having a great Dad
You get the fun, the laughter, the tender moments, the funny quotes, and yes, the tears at the end.

I have memories that will last a lifetime of weekends spent with your mom and dad. I enjoyed many long conversations with your mom and your dad would take us to the bowling alley. I miss them both and think about them often.
