Daddy, I will always treasure you in my heart and the special moments we shared. It was a honor to serve you in your last days and it will not be the same without you with me. You have been such a example of grace and love in my life. You have tought me so many things in my life; how to forgive, love, have patience and you never complained about your pain when I knew that you were hurting so bad. Daddy, I love you with all that's in me and I will miss you so much. I am comforted in knowing that your in no more pain and is with momma. Thank you for loving me and not giving up on me. Until I see you again, Your Baby(Flipper) Tabby
