I love you daddy. I am going to miss you so much. Memories will alway be with me. You were the best dad i could ever ask for and grandpa to my kids. You will forever be in our hearts.
I love you daddy. I will miss you. You were where I would go when I had question, now I feel lost. You taught me to be strong and I hope that I can stay strong without you. You will forever be in my heart.
I never got the chance to meet you but I feel like I did. I’ve gotten to taste many of your food delicacies that you passed down to your daughter, I have learned and stolen some traits as well. I know that you will deeply be missed and even as I’ve only heard you over speaker phone a couple of times, even just your voice made me smile!
I’m going to miss you so much daddy. You were always my rock and laughter when I needed it. You taught me so much and is the best father I could ask for. You will always still live within me and I will always cherish every moment/talk we ever had. I love you so much.
May you rest in peace and enjoy the visits with your loved ones past.
I love you dad so very much you taught me everything I know anytime I needed to talk you were only a phone call away when I’m upset you made me feel better you will be missed dearly
