Dad, You will be missed. You are always in my heart with loving memories. We always had a great time together and I am honored to have been your daughter. I could not have picked anyone better than you. I always felt loved. I was always happy growing up and that is because of you. I love you so much. There will forever be a part of me missing. Please look over us as I will always be thinking of you. Rest in Peace Dad.
