    I hate you had to go but I know you’re home in heaven surrounded by angels and God’s love. You were the family patriarch and we’re all at a loss without you. There’s an emptiness that will probably never be filled..Please say hi to the rest of the family for me? I love and miss you all so much. I will keep your precious family in my prayers all the days of my life. It’s with a heavy heart I say this last goodbye. Well, hopefully I’ll get to see you all again. Maybe Saint Peter will let me in someday.
