What an honor it is to share your name. You raised an amazing son who is my everything. I am so very blessed to have such a caring, loving, extremely intelligent, honest, wonderful man to call father-in-law. We will miss you so much. I cannot find strong enough words to express what you mean to us. We will love you forever...
