  • You were my first "great loss" dad and as much as it hurt to loose you, the devastating loss better prepared me for what was to come. You taught me courage. You taught me how to be strong and how to take responsibility for my actions. Because of you I am a better person. Thank you for being you. Love you to the stars & beyond. xxx
