Dear Dad,
Well, another year has passed. It wasn’t a great year. We lost Niki and I lost Pat, my brother and best friend. It broke our hearts to lose them. I hope you and Mom were there to greet them! You told me to make sure that I took care of the house. You would be proud of the upgrades we did; even the yard looks great!
I am 81 years old now and still working. I know that when I go hunting that you are with me. I miss having chats with you, I loved those days. You would be so proud of your grandchildren and great-grandchildren; Mike takes care of the garden; they are all a great bunch.
If tears could build me a stairway to you, I would come and visit. I will always keep you in my heart. There is always a place in our lives for you and Mom.
Until we meet again, we will always love you!
Love, Tony, Cam, Maryann, John, Michael, Kyle, Anthony, Becky, Meadow and Anthony Jr.
