    Daddy, It’s so hard to believe you have been gone from this place we call earth. I know you are in heaven now riding some of the most beautiful trails (I know it’s perfect I feel it in my heart). You were such an inspiration, role model and mentor for so many people and you will be missed dearly.

    If I could bring you back it would only be for my own selfish reasons. Thank you for being my own personal hero and best friend daddy. I LOVE YOU and HMMMM, CAUGHT MINE.

    Daddy, It’s hard to believe in 7 weeks you will have been gone 1 year. Some days it only seems like yesterday I was sitting with you, laughing, eating a Sonic #2 Cheeseburger (I know how you loved to eat at Sonic). And on other days it seems like an eternity. I hold your contagious smile and daily wisdom close to my heart. Till we meet again daddy love you. Jennifer/a.k.a Jiffer
