"Dad It's been the hardest thing to lose you. You mean so much to me, but you are in my heart Dad and that's where you'll always be. I know that heaven called you but I wish you could have stayed. At least the memories I have of you they will never fade. I did not want to lose you but you did not go alone because a part of me went with you when heaven called you home. So just remember one thing, we are not apart. You're with me in my memories and in my broken heart. I love you dad forever and always. Until we meet again. Love JoDell"
