Dad, even though we weren't together when I was growing up I knew that I loved you when we found each other 25 years ago. It was amazing how much alike we were. My heart is empty knowing that I can never talk or see you again but I am comforted knowing that I was with you when you left us and you weren't alone and are no longer suffering. I love you and will miss you. You are forever in my heart. Your loving daughter, Debbie
