Miss you dad

I never thought that there would be a day that you nor mom would not be there when we needed or not been there at all. But that day did come sooner than expected. We all know that you and mom are together again. Chuck let me be presented with the flag. Eddie was there and read the ulagey. Everything was great the day we all said our farewells. But I will always be there for the kids like you showed me how to do.
You both well always be with us and will always be missed. Until we see each other again
I Love You.
Your loving son
