Daddy - I miss you already. I wish your life had been different and so many things about your life had been different. I wish you did not have to leave in pain. I am glad you are at peace with God and that you finally get to see your father and your mother in heaven. I know the Vincents are there too and other members of your real family that you never got to see. I am glad that you got the graveside military service that you always wanted and deserved. I love you and will never forget you. You are in my heart always. Your daughter, Caroline.
