Hey Dad. It has been over 8 years now you have left us. I miss you so much. I think of you daily and wish you were here to talk to me or even to just to let me hold your hand and that will be comforting. I close my eyes and hear your voice and laugh and I replay our memories we had. I go to bed at night hoping to dream of you just to see your face, hear your voice and see your smile. Mom is ok, she is keeping busy, we share stories of you that make us smile and some make us sad but we know you are with the Lord and he is taking care of you now. Love you dad, till next time...your baby daughter Marion. - Posted by: Marion (Daughter) on: Jan 08, 2014
