Saturday, November 7, 1959

I never knew Trooper Smith. He passed away just before I was born but I am thankful to him because he had a daughter who became my best friend and has been for over 25 years now. Kay and I both went to work for the Highway Patrol after our Fathers, who were both in Law Enforcement passed away. kay and I worked over 25 years for MHP and retired. They say that Law Enforcement "gets in your blood" and it is true. In a way, that makes Kay and I sisters. We share the need and compassion to help civilians as well as other Officers as Trooper Smith was doing that very night The Lord called him home. Thank you Trooper Smith.

Daddy,
If I had but one wish, I would love to have one more day to spend with you. I was only 7 and it is so hard to remember everything about you. What I do remember is how much I loved you and how special I felt to be your little girl. If I spent that extra day with you, I would get in as many "I love yous" as possible before the day ended. I miss you so bad. God bless you and I will be with you one day.
