I am grateful for being able to spend all my time with you involved in our lives, a backbone, safe haven, such big shoes to fill.
You always said, "walk softly and carry a big stick" I think my mouth was just too big for that one to stick! Thank goodness for humor, great laughs and good times. These will help to carry me through the worst times!
I Love You, Daddy
Dad and Mari
I am blessed that you whispered "I Love You" to me on 11/26.
It was great to see your face in the sky last night by the fire.
