Dear Dad,
Thanks for all the good memories you left me with,
camping at castle rock every year was one of my best, don't forget camp run a muck (the chief) and growing up in Elmwood Park and all the stray dogs you brought home and Mom going crazy, and our trips to Las Vegas. I can go on and on, just want everyone to know how much I Love You and will miss you.
Love Always Joanne
