“I miss you so much Daddy. I tried to correct this obituary for you. I love you and you will forever be in my heart. Through the good times and the bad times I always was there for you and loved you. You may not have known how to express your love as well as some. But I know before the road you ended on you were able to. Thank you for raising me to be a strong woman. Teaching me to ride a bicycle, play basket ball and even shave my legs. I will keep the good memories. Your loving daughter, Samantha”
