Dad, We will not forget all that you’ve done for us. You were truly one of a kind. We love you & will never forget the sacrifices you’ve made for us. You put us first. You were stubborn, independent, frugal, feisty, and FUNNY! You were also the most giving person that we knew. You helped all of your children out in some way. You grew up poor, but found a way to put us all through college. You helped us with mortgages, car payments, other bills, etc. We will never forget your selflessness. More than anything, you wanted us to be happy. Thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Your memory will rest in our hearts forever. Toodles~ Celeste
