Our dear Nathan,
You were not just Stephanie's true love.
You were not just Tabitha and Abbykca's father.
You were and will forever be considered our other son.
So many good times, bad ones too, will be shared with your babies to keep your memory alive.
Our home and our hearts have an empty space than can never be filled by another.
Love, Pappy and Mimi
