Dear Linda - I'm so sorry to hear of your father passing away. I was he a very nice man. I enjoyed those years of working with him as his manager at State Farm. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Dad,
I will miss you so much! I hope you and Mom are together again! I had the best childhood any child could ask for. The love you showed us has truly been a gift and I will cherish forever.
Love forever and always, Toni Rae!!!
