I love you, Dad. Those words I spoke to you the very last time I saw you. I’m glad I did & I’m so glad I knew you. You were the best husband my mother could have dreamed possible. You took me under your wing & always helped me when I needed it. Now your smile is brighter than the brightest star in the universe! You are sitting next to Christ & enjoying forever. I already miss you. 😪💔

I loved Uncle Al so much, he was such a comfort to me and my sisters when our nana (his sister) was diagnosed and later died of cancer. His smile could fill a room and make any dark day, brighter. I wish I could be with you all as you say your final goodbyes, but distance prevents that. Just know how much I loved him and all of you as you grieve the loss of one of the best.
