    Pop, your passing has left a huge hole in my heart but knowing you are finally at peace, no more suffering, and reunited with Mom has helped me get through this very difficult time. It was my greatest blessing and most treasured gift in life to have you for my father. Love, your little girl.

    Dad, I am happy that you are now at peace. You were not a big complainer, but I know you resented your final months because of the difficulties you endured. I will always be grateful for the quiet strength you had, which I have attempted to emulate in my life. You are where you wanted to be, but we will miss you forever. RIP, Dad
