To my loving father, I forgot to mention, that when you and mom would park cars by grandma for the fair, we would race down the driveway to the front yard and you beat me by a mile, you ran SOOOO fast, I couldn't keep up with you, you were so very fast. I love you and miss you and everyone.

To my loving father, I already miss you so very much, I was there before you passed on, telling you I love you so very much and holding and rubbing your hand, arm and shoulder, I loved going fishing with you and grandpa and when you and mom would park cars at grandma's house for the fair, we would have a race running down the driveway and you win by a mile, I could never keep up with you. I miss all those days. I wish we could still do all those things. I love you and miss all of my family SOOOO very much.
