    Daddy, you will be truly missed, you’ve been a very big part of my life. Our love for no another couldn’t have been any stronger. I love you so much but I won’t be selfish God loves you even more, so he has prepared a resting place for you. RIP until we meet again. You and Cleetus look after one another.
