Dad, I miss you so much! I keep picturing you up in heaven walking the streets of gold with our baby Cory and other family members. You have a big smile on your face and have no more pain. Your celebration of life was wonderful. You were loved by so many people. I am so fortunate to have had such an amazing father who loved God and his family so much. Looking forward to seeing you again some day. I Love You Daddio! Love, Joni
