Dad,
I think about you daily and miss your presence already. Your kindness, advice and humor was deeply cherished throughout the years. So many positive memories of you to share and carry on your legacy. You put up a courageous battle with Parkinsons Disease. Hopefully in the near future, a cure will happen. I love you.
Your Son,
-David-
