Dad, you were the sweetest man, we were so lucky to have you in our lives! We miss you so much! You will live on in our hearts and our minds forever! Our lives are forever altered because we crossed your path. Your biggest gift I believe was love. You cared so much for those around you. It was a Blessing to have you in our lives. We will forever cherish the time spent with you. It was an honor to be part of your "team". I am so sorry that you were in pain. Now you can rest. But know that forever you are with us, in so many memories shared. Each year as we carry on our traditions I am sure that you will be there. You said that this was the best summer of your life, with your children near. But know daddy that you gave us much more than you know. Thank you for allowing us to be so near. And now daddy it is us who needs comfort to get through these tears. Sarah and Christopher will always remember the love you gave and the smile on your face, and each embrace, and the words that made them feel so special...Are you grandpa's man?, are you grandpa's girl? - We love you and miss you! But we will hold you near our hearts forever.
