Dad,
I miss you so much already. I’m thankful for all the amazing years and memories of us. Having a Dad such as yourself who was literally a Jack of all trades, made life that much better. You always made sure I was taken care of along with your granddaughters who Loved you so much. I have truly enjoyed bragging about you and being Daddy’s girl. The opportunity to take care of you was an honor. One thing for sure I almost got my barber license with the many times I cut your hair. Lol
The fight is over Dad, you can rest now without any worry, as I watched you fight until your last breath. Until we meet again, I’m thankful to have been by your side. I Love you Dad.
