To my daddy,
Years of in and out of the hospital fighting every time., your days of struggling are over now you are finally with our Heavenly Father. You always said you weren’t afraid of dying because you knew you would be in Heaven. I wish I could have saved you and made you better but Jesus needed you more. You are with your mom, dad. Siblings and Rhonda now, give them all a hug from us. Until we met again, I love you Daddy!
