Dear Families

I'm proud of your families.  I'm happy to have spent this time together.  My only regret is, I'd like to have been with you longer.  Share and care and be at peace with each other.  Think fondly of me and God watch over you always.

Do not cry that I am gone,

Laugh like we did together.

Don't be sad very long.

Be happy that I was here.

Now I'm spending time with Dad.
