From your baby daughter Mila on 05/31/2009

DADDY: You were the first man in my life, not just as a father but also my BEST friend. You pulled my baby teeth, taught me to tie my shoes, ride a bike, drive a car, and so many other things, the list is endless. You have also helped me through the best and worst times of my life, with the most being the care and raising of my children. I will carry all of your words of wisdom with me always. Even though my heart is broken because I can't see or hear you anymore, I know that you are free, and I am so blessed to have had you as a father and a friend. I will forever be "Daddy's Girl". I Love you always, Mila
