    Stephanie and family-

    Not a question about the love your father had for you. When he spoke of you it was very apparent you were daddy\’s little girl and the apple in his eye. He would go to every length for you and was sure you would be the top seller of cookie dough when you were in jr. high. Yes, I bought a tub. I have seen you through the year and your a spitten emage. Your mother as well did a wonderful job of loving you, protecting you for your best interests always. I wish nothing more for you to have peace in your adult life and keep that special place in your heart for your dad and him meomery for you. God bless you sweetie
