Dad, you were always my hero. You were my rock. It will always amaze me how you could do the job you did, as dangerous as it was, and see the things you saw, and still be able to come home and be such a warm and loving Father. You were always there and in my heart, you still remain. I will love you forever. Remind Mom of how much I love her when you see her. Your Loving Daughter, Susan
