My Dad was the most amazing Dad anyone could ever imagine. He taught me so much in life and I love and miss him so much. His love for people and animals is embedded in my heart and I will continue to cherish every moment I got to spend with him. He always taught me to work hard and never give up. Until we meet again Dad, I love and miss you and give Mom a big hug and kiss for me. The critters all love and miss you too.
