at home from the first day that we met; you welcomed me with
opened arms and that I wont forget. You always have encouraged
me, what kind words that youd say; I know I can depend on you
on any given day. You were a great father-in-law, you stood out
above the rest; I thank God for blessing me with you, the very best.
