Dad

There are several ways to describe what the
word “Dad” means to us:
Integrity, a person with strong moral principles;
Industrious, a hardworking person;
Commitment, a dedicated and loyal person;
Dependable, a person who you can trust and rely on;
Supportive, a caring and encouraging person;
Any man can be a father
but only a few deserve to be called Dad.
Because of the type of man you have always been
it is the way we would describe you!
Thank you for being such a wonderful provider
for our family and a loving and supportive Dad.
Thank you for being our Dad!
We will miss you!
