Daddy was a stern man of few words, he wasn't one for affection but towards the end, his I love you's was felt, the hugs was comforting and his unspoken words could be understood with the heart. To know Daddy was to love him and he will be missed. His presences will live on with God, as he dedicated his soul back to our ever loving Father. We take comfort in knowing that we will see him again.
