“Dad, You will never be forgotten. I will keep your memory alive in all that I do. I will celebrate you and honor you. You were the best Dad, Papa and my best friend for 39 years. I already miss you so much. I feel so empty, heartbroken and lost. You meant more to me than anyone will ever know and more than you probably realized. Thank you for giving me everything you had and could my whole life. RIP Dad I know you are looking down on us. Love Always, Your one and only Daughter -Magen”
