On behalf of the family we would like to express our gratitude to the doctors and nurses at
Kaweah Delta for the care they provided during Dad’s final health challenge. We would also like
to express our deepest heartfelt appreciation to Hillcrest Memorial Park staff for your
professional services during our difficult time.
Our father was a man like no other. He gave us life, nurtured us, taught us, dressed us, fought
for us, held us, cheered for us, kissed us, but most importantly he loved us unconditionally.
There are not enough words we can say to describe just how important our father was to us,
and what a powerful influence he will continue to be.
Dad, we will miss you and you will always be in our hearts. May each tear and each fond
memory be a note of love rising to meet you. ♥
