Daddy, thank you for sharing your great love of God with me. You are one of my greatest gifts from God. He answered my prayers and gave you peace and I know He will help me through the pain of this enormous loss. My heart is so heavy. I love you.

Dad, I could never thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of your family. I am truly blessed because of the greatest gift a father could give, his daughter (Patricia). I promise I will watch over her and take good care of her and your grandson for the remainder of my life. I will truly miss your smile and all the wonderful times we shared as a family. Please let mom know I send my love. I will never forget you two. God bless you both, together again!
