The many times 1 watched you bowl, the proms you and mom went to and danced so many dances. The tears you shed when Duff left for the Army or when you walked me down the aisle. The smile on your face and the twinkle in your eye when each one of your grandchildren were bom. Dad, you /night be physically gone but 1 feel you with me every day. I know we will be together again some day and until then remember I love you.
