Dear Dad,
hard to believe that today marks 47 years since you left us. God called you home far too soon, but I trust that His plan is perfect—even when it’s hard to understand. I know you’re surrounded by peace, joy, and love—and especially by Gary. I know in my heart that you’re both together now, catching up on old times. He was so much like you, Dad. I pray that you continue to guide him toward peace, comfort, and love.
It brings me comfort to know that you’re together—my dad and my brother—watching over all of us. One day, we’ll be reunited. Until then, I carry your memory in my heart and thank God for the time we shared.

Happy Heavenly Anniversary, Dad. I miss you and love you.
