From your daughters and sons, these words to our father: We give thanks to God for giving us a father that over all thinks he loved God, a role model Dad that taught us to also love God. He never gave up, with God's help he taught us the right path that we live today. Thank you for the love that you had for our mother, it was a great example. You will always live in our hearts. Thank you for showing us the way of life. Like Psalm 1, verse 3 says: like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, whatever they do, prospers and today we are the fruit of that tree. We love you from the bottom of our hearts. We will always love you. You will be missed our lovely father.
