Dear Papa,
I will miss your jokes and your smile. I will miss you dropping by at all hours of the day and night. I will miss your advise and your encouragement. You were my friend, my mentor my confidant, but most of all, you were my Papa. I love you and will miss you. You and Mama can now sleep with the angels.
