Condolence: I know over the past few months I was not able to be there with you as much as I would have liked to have been but you were always in my thoughts and prayers every single day and I just could not handle seeing you suffer. I thank God that he chose you to be my dad and for blessing me to have you on this earth for nearly 37 years. Thank you for being a wonderful Popaw to my daughter and I can tell you that she loves you more than you could ever imagine. She would not allow us to leave the cemetery yesterday until she knew that you were safely in the ground. I know as I am sitting here typing this with tears rolling down my cheeks you are sitting up there in heaven looking down saying "Now skee-bud, stop that crying because I'm not in pain anymore and for the first time in years I am able to walk without a brace on my leg or use a cane to get around" (And Skee-bud was dad's nickname for me for as long as I can remember). Today it feels like a piece of my heart is missing but Old Man know I love you more than life and will miss you terribly.

I LOVE YOU DAD!!
