Rest in peace Dad. My heart aches that you are no longer here, but I know how happy you are to be with Mom. Thank you for always being an amazing Dad. I cannot recall a want I ever had that you did not fullfill. I have so many great memories I will hold forever close in my heart. Love you forever, your little sweetheart.
