Daddy,
You were such a fun Dad when we were growing up, joining us in baseball games in the back yard or doing a "cannonball" into the pool and emptying out half the water in it. But more importantly, you taught me that I could do anything and be anything I wanted if I was willing to do the work. You also taught me to love others despite their shortcomings because we all have them and that no one person is more impertant than the other whether they were a leader of a country or an ordinary citizen. You taught me by your example that helping others was of utmost impotance and it's one of the reasons I chose to become a nurse. We will all miss you so very much as we all depended on you for various things. You have earned your eternal rest in peace, love and happiness. I know you will watch over all of us and will always be in our hearts. I love you.
