I can't even believe I'm writing this. I can't believe you're gone. I will always remember the good times. River trips, your T-Bird, blasting music as loud as we can and singing just as loud along to the music. My truck and how you fixed it up. Your cooking. Your stories. Oh the stories! You could go on and on about your favorite things! I hold those memories in my mind and in my heart. You're gone but you're most certainly not forgotten! I love you, Dad. ALWAYS!
Love,
Sam
