Lisa and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family has suffered so many losses lately and I am not sure how you continue to be so strong and amazing, but you do. It forever changes us when someone we love so completely dies but you seem to always take the best part of them and it just makes that change a little easier.
Thoughts and prayers with all of you at this difficult time.

My beautiful and amazing father...I can't imagine my days without you in them. I look forward to the time when I can smile instead of cry as I recall your unmatched sense of humor. I wasn't done with you yet and I will miss you every single day, I do know that you already know that and that you feel the same way; I will find strength in the treasured love we shared. You make heaven a sweeter place, and I'm sure the loved ones we lost together are rejoicing at your presence. Thank you for helping to make me the person I am today! Love Always, your "Daughter Dear"
