Forever in my heart, Daddy! I L-O- V-E’s you! I miss you so much! Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories! I will miss the fun of playing Kings in the Corner and Skip-Bo with you, Mom and Jan while sharing a box of See’s! I loved your silliness! I was blessed to have you as my father, and for so MANY years, too! You always made me feel loved. Daddy, be at peace in the arms of our Lord. You have so earned your rest! Love you bunches! Until next time, your loving daughter, Thathine.

It was a privilege and an honor to have my dad live with me the past 3 1/2 years. He never knew a stranger, held malice against no man, and had a heart filled with love. Daddy, I miss you terribly.
