I.L.Y. & I.K.Y
We love you
and miss you Dad,
Love
your "Dotter" D.P
Until we meet again xoxo....

Feel no guilt in laughter, he'd know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever, he would not want you to.
He'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you care.
The days you spent together,
All the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say will suddenly recapture a time, a hour, a day that brings him back so clearly
As though he were still here, and fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And he will live forever
Locked safely in your heart.
