Dearest Dad,
The memorial mass today was absolutely gorgeous. We had the beautiful portrait of you and Mom on the alter with flowers all around it. There were so many people in church. Our family all took part in the mass. Lou gave an incredible eulogy that captured everything about you. His words made us smile as we remembered so many happy and funny moments.
Lori, Russell, Cade and Jordan came down the aisle bearing the gifts. Jordan was so serious. When Louie was speaking, she whispered that she wanted to go by him. I asked her why and she said she wanted to say good-bye to GG........the nickname she and Cade call you for "Great Grandfather".
It's been hard on you, Dad, for a long time and I know you suffered silently. You told me when Mommy passed away that without her you felt as though you were only half a person. I'm so happy that the two of you are together again.
There is no way, Dad, that I can ever thank you for the lifetime of love that you gave me and the rest of the family. I could say so much........I could write forever about you........my memories just go on and on. You were strong, loving, caring, funny, silly...I'm so grateful to God that you were my father in this lifetime. I'll love you forever. God bless you. Help keep us safe. I'll miss you so much......so much.
Your loving daughter,
