Dad,
I love you and I miss you so very much! Thank you for all that you did for me as a child. I will never forget visiting you at the "shop" and our Saturday lunches at Jesse and Gladys'. Your smile and hugs when it was time to go or you making me take the 1966 repair manual home when I bought my first car (1966 Mustang). I miss our conversations and your insight into whatever topic we were talking about. I just really miss you Dad....but I will see you again some day and we will have a lot of catching up to do.
Love your daughter,
Royce

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one. I lost my father last year and something that comforts me is that Jesus promised at John 5:28, 29 that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect all those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-14) I hope that your family will find comfort in this too.
