Daddy... I will miss you until we meet you again! I will miss your laugh, your hugs, your jokes, your smile... I will even miss your "talks" about safety! But most of all, I'll miss your love... your love for our family. We will lean on each other for strength. You took care of us, and we will take care of Momma, & each other! So you can rest now, your job is done. Thank you for being the best Daddy! I love you so much!

Our family met today to have your send-off. It was a beautiful service. You would be so proud of your kids! They told how proud they were of you and how much you influenced them to make proud of them! They told how you could always be counted on to always be there even if you were tired. They loved you very much. We loved you very much. We will miss you!
