Dad, 
You were more than a dad; you were a friend. You were there no matter what. You were involved in every milestone throughout our lives: graduations, births, weddings, and birthdays. One thing you always reminded us is, 
"If the family is not together, then nothing is together. " 
We'll always remember you and have love for you in our hearts. 
---Love, Your Children
