Dear Dad,

You was my first hero, you was the first who showed me how to make money at 7 years old, and you put the first $40 in my hands, which sparked a desire to make money. You showed me how a man should take care of his home, and even in bad times, you showed me what not to do. Even with your last breath, you showed the true power of forgiveness and with your last breath, you telling me how proud you were of me. That was priceless, so in life and death, you have always been teaching me life's lessons. Thank you very much for it all. I'll miss you dearly forever, my first hero.

Your son,

Dartanyon Lynn Sneed AKA Doc

love you Dad.......
