Dad... You will occupy a space in my heart forever. I will miss seeing you and hearing your voice from a distance, over the many miles that we were separated by, for so many years. I will miss the many trips made from my home to yours... Ann and I will be forever touched by you, and your kindness, your grace, and your honest and humble moments that you offered to us both, as well you offered to everyone that you knew and came in contact with... Every day I will lift my cup of hot coffee, and say honor to you...your coffee you loved so much will serve as my light to keep your memory alive and well in me...Your love for Mom and your 68 years of life together as a husband and wife, is blessing to so many... and that will be an everlasting memory that will be shared by many... Your Masonic life was so much a part of you, and it inspired me to create a Masonic life of my own, and I know you were proud of that in me... I will try to live my remaining time in honor of that Masonic life you wished for me, and I will do my best to honor your life by being the son you have always hoped and prayed that I would be... I Love You Dad... And I will miss you more than you will ever know whilst here on this Earth... I know and I believe that now you are with God in Heaven, and Mama Reid, Willis and Mildred, and Grandpap... and that you are celebrating a life well lived, and you have God's guitar in your hands, and you are playing a tune for all who are with you and around you in Heaven...
I will forever Love you and miss you...
Your son, David
