    For whatever reason, I didn’t get to say Goodbye. But no one can take you from my life, because a mind and a heart do not forget their father. Hopefully you saw the light this time. You were worried last time ;’-)
    Love you daddy…

    My condolences to the family. Tears welled in my eyes when I found out today. Even though I’m his first ex-wife, I am truly sorry he is gone, as we shared having Kimberly Ann our wonderful, beautiful daughter together for which I will be forever thankful. May he rest in peace.
