Hello Dad!
You are always remembered. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you! Everywhere I go there is a memory of you and everything you taught us. That always makes me smile. I couldn’t have asked for a better father. I am so grateful for your patience, your sense of humor, your guidance, your strength, your spirit! You taught us so much through what you did every day!
Your grandson Nathan join the Air Force in May 2021, and started his first day of BMT today. Please watch over him and give him strength and insight for this new journey!
I am truly grateful and know that your spirit lives with all of us every day! Until I see you again Dad, all my love!
