Personal Message:

Papa,

As I take this last earthly walk with you today, I am so happy that you knew how much I loved you. You loved me from the moment that I entered this world and continued to show me that love every step of the way. Papa, you provided for me until I was able to be an independent woman and provide for myself. You can now rest easy and know with your preparation and God’s love & mercy I got it from her. I will be missing you until we meet again in heaven.

Love Christina

Daddy,

You have been my strength and encouragement for my entire life. It goes without saying that I will truly miss our daily conversations and all the wisdom that you fed into me. Daddy, I thank you for helping me to become the man that I am today and giving me the tools necessary to be a great father. You are my hero.

Love always,
Patrick
