“Our parents are the people who make us who we are. They start by wanting us, caring for us and holding our hands. They teach us, guide us and want the absolute best for us. They give themselves and their time in their own life so we can have everything we need. Most of all, they give us a love so unconditional it can never be broken, tarnished or understood.
Our father was all of these things. A father, a grandfather, a brother, a son, a friend. Most of all, he was our Dad.
We are so sad that you had to leave us, but we will continue your legacy to love unconditionally and will never stop. We will never forget you. You gave up everything, so we could have everything. You were the most selfless person we have ever known. We love you and miss you so much. Our wish is for you to rest now. You’re in our thoughts, and dreams and prayers, always and forever.
We love you Dad.”
