He never failed to come to a dance competition or recital. I love my Daddy more than I could ever put into words. Even though he is not in this world with us, he will forever be in my heart and in my mind. My husband was my best friend and the love of my life. He will forever also be in my heart and my mind. Most importantly, his love for the Lord and his family showed in his life everyday. Flowers are welcome as well as donations to the American Heart Association.
