You were the best father-in-law a girl could have. I loved our great conversations we shared and even the quiet times sitting and watching sports on TV in the living room. You had a special way of making me feel loved and welcome. You will always hold a very special place in my heart and I am honored to have shared many years years with you. Love, Your daughter-in-law, Susie
