Eulogy
Losing my father is the most difficult thing I've gone through. I realize how fortunate I was to have him as my father. There are no words to express his influence in my life. My father was a hard working, strong, loving and gentle man. He loved and was deeply devoted to his family. As a child I looked forwarded to the Sundays in the backyard playing ball and the homemade pizza we had every Sunday night. He touched the lives of everyone he knew. My father was a man of integrity and he installed values in us. I admired him because of the kind of father he was to my sister and I, he loved us very much. My father was a man that touched everybody's live one way or another. He will be missed more than words can say. The grandchildren will miss him dearly; especially the fishing trips he use to take them on. I am so blessed to have a father as wonderful as he is, and blessed that my children had him as a grandfather. I will always cherish the cd that he sent me, called daddy's little girl, and the song on it just the way you are. I will always love you more than words can express and I will miss you to the end of earth.
Love your little girl
