What we would like of the four of you is to always remember that your daddy loved you and always wanted the best for you.
As you go on in life, keep in mind what he always said, "think positive and positive things will come." Always do your best in everything you do because I am here to stand by you with all the love and understanding to see you through the good and bad times. By the four of you knowing the love your daddy had for each of you, let's go on with the way of life he would be proud of!
