Thank you, for always considering me as a daughter and loving me as one of your own. You came into my life at a time when I needed you most and I didn’t even know it! Thank you for making such a positive impact on my life over the years! Even though we grew apart I have never stopped considering you as my dad! There are so many things I wish I could tell you now and wish I had not stayed away. But here are a few things I want to thank you for: Showing me what it means to truly love someone until death do you part! I am so thankful for the love you showed my mom as she fought the hardest battle of her life and yet you never left her side. I am thankful you were there when we lost Grandpa and Grandma Goodwin, and Rick as well. This just shows the man you were and you have impacted so many lifes in so many ways! I am grateful you were able to love again before you were taken from this earth too soon. I hope you are able to find peace and fly high with the rest of our angels!
– Forever your daughter, Danielle
