I will always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm welcome you gave everyone. You always being there for mom and me through good times and bad, no matter what. Even though you are no longer physically here, your spirit and kindness will live on in my heart. I was never ready to say goodbye, but I will carry you with me for the rest of my life. I love you dad.

Your daughter, Teri
