Daddy, I am so glad that I was given the last few years with you. The challenges you and I faced were difficult and I pray that I didnt disappoint you. I hope Mama was waiting for you with her glowing smile and cornflower blue eyes. We found your bible that gave us the reassurance that we were praying for. Farewell and following seas. Until we meet again.
Love, Your brown eyed girl
