“If I could write a story. It would be the greatest ever told of a kind and loving father who had a heart of gold. I could write a million pages but still be unable to say just how much I love and miss you every single day. I will remember all he taught me im hurt but won't be sad. As he'll send me down the answers and he'll always be my dad. I will love and miss you always ❤”

“Hey Dad I guess God wanted you back home. He gave you to me and my sister and brothers and my mom and his new love Colleen for a short time. I remember the day you taught me how to drive and I was taking my road test and I saw you peeking at me behind the building. You were so proud when I perfected my parallel and right angle parking. I’ll never forget our memories. I love you and I will say see you later never goodbye. Until I see you again in Heaven you will always be in my heart. I love you”
