I miss you so much daddy and wish you were still here. I know you're in a better place and looking over us and protecting us. You will always be with me; never forgotten. You've helped create three beautiful children and six beautiful grandchildren that love you unconditional. You were my provider, shoulder to lean on, and ear that listen. You were my friend, my protector; You were my daddy and I miss you dearly.

Love always and forever,

Your baby girl,
Almena Lateffa Knighten-EL
