Dad,
You were always my best friend! You were there when I felt like no one else was. Your laughter rings in my ears. Ryan, Jenni, Kristen, myself, and our kids.. We lost a part of our family tree. No one ever pays attention to the dash between the birthday and day of death…. but the dash is what we need to focus on now. Because the dash is what I did in your life. I love and miss you daddy. Kylie, Payton and Olivia will always know who u r and what PaPa T did for them!!
