Dad,
I've been sitting here for a while now trying to think about what to say. It's not that I can't think of anything, I just don't know where to begin.
Ok, here goes.
Most importantly, I love you very much! Your life made a big difference in this world. Especially to Taylor, Nicole, Amy, Katelyn, Trisha, and Mostly, Me.
You were a Great Father, a Loyal and Loving Husband to my Mother, a Patriot and a Veteran who loved his country with all his heart. You were smart and wise in your ways.
You NEVER complained and kept your sense of humor all the way to the end.
Everyone loved you! You will be missed and never forgotten. You will live on in my heart the rest of my life. You made a difference!
Your LOVING son,
How you can show support
