Dad,

You were so important in my life. From the moment Jim and I were married through the next 21 years, you always respected and loved me like your own daughter.

I will truly miss you. I will miss all of the stories you shared from your life, your kindness, generousity and love.

You were a wonderful person and I love you.

Donna
