I will never forget you and all that you have done for me. You took me into your home when I needed help. You loved me unconditionally my whole life. You raised me to be the woman I am today. I am so sad to see you go but so happy you are no longer in pain. Please take Maria into your arms and give her a big hug for me. Enjoy our lost family and friends. Fish me up a big catfish for my wall when I get there. One day I will be where you are. I love you papa! I love you dad!
