To my loving family,

Every day and every night when you feel the need, to hold me tight.  Just blow a kiss into the sky, for I will be that close by.  In the heavens throughout the day, I will watch over you and hear you pray.  I see you smile and shed a tear, for you know that I’m still near.  Your angel in the sky.

I love you Dad
