View all 5 ReflectionsMy mind and heart are with you everyday. I am so proud of the kind of man you were to all. I have very precious memories of you and I. I wish so that I could just sit in that green recliner with you, that I did so many times, and tell you about the 4 wonderful grandchildren you have. We all love and miss you so much Daddy. Your memory will live on through your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You would be very proud of them all!
All my Love,
