Still can't believe my daddy is gone. I miss you daddy so much. You accomplished so much in your lifetime and touched the hearts of many. I miss your laugh and your cheesy jokes. I miss sitting at the table talking about anything and everything and going out for ice cream. You always knew how to make me smile. Everything i know is because of you. Everything i do is because you taught me how. I am so proud to be your daughter. You are always in my thoughts and my heart. My heart aches so bad because I miss you so much. Keep the angels laughing for me. We will see each other again one day for eternity. I love you daddy. -meggie
