Dearest Daddy,
I know someday I will see you and Jim again but this waiting is so hard. I don't understand why I had to lose my husband first and then I had to lose you. Two of the best men in the whole wide world. Daddy, I miss not being able to hear your voice on Sunday. Can't you talk to God about getting a phone up there so I can hear your voice? Ice Road Truckers is not the same, Nascar is not the same, nor is football going to be the same. I am going to continue to pull for your teams along with Jims teams. I sure hope you 2 are enjoying all that soda you owed each other. Daddy, I bet you are so happy to be able to breathe without that stupied hose stuck in your nose, I also bet you are happy to see your mom (grandma) and your daddy (grandpa) again. You know daddy the day you went home to be with the Lord the Heavens were rumbling and I just knew it was you and Jim. Daddy, I love you so much and I miss you a whole bunch. Your number 1 daughter, Lora Lee
