I’m incredibly grateful to have had a father who always believed in me and loved me unconditionally. I couldn’t be more proud of the sacrifices you not only made for our family, but for your country as well. You always worked hard to make sure I was happy, healthy, and had everything I could have ever wanted. I will never tire of hearing others say what a great man you were. And I will never forget what an amazing husband you were to my mother. I find peace knowing you are together again. You were a man of great significance and I’m privileged to be part of your legacy. I’ll always be your only little girl and you’ll always be my hero. Love you Dad.

I love you dad. I am so honored to be your daughter in law. You accepted me as your own & loved me from the start. There is no better person in the world that i could call dad & no one better in the world than you when in comes to being a papa. We love you so much & will miss you everyday until we meet again. Thank you for all the examples you’ve shown us & all the love you gave. I will think of you fondly especially when i see rain coming down on a sunny day.
I love you and i miss you so much papa.
