Even though we never met I’ve always felt as though I’ve known you. Your girls shouldn’t have had to endure losing their daddy at such young ages. But I want you to know that your girls are three of the best human beings I know. They’ve raised your grandchildren and great-grandchildren as you raised them to be loving and hardworking Christians. They’ve always kept you alive in our hearts. Until I finally meet our protective guardian angel in Heaven, I’ll love you always Papa.
