Karolyn L Kafer left a message on April 5, 2019:
My heart is broken. My dear Father, I love you more than anyone or anything and you always have been and always will be my best friend. I miss you so much but I know that you are with the Lord and are no longer suffering and are not in pain anymore. It has been and is my privilege and honor to be your daughter. You have made me feel loved, protected and cherished my entire life and these are the most precious gifts. You have shown me by your example how to be a good and decent God fearing person and I give you my word that I will continue to honor your name and your memory for as long as I live. You will always be in my heart, but you have taken a piece of my heart to heaven with you. I know you are looking down from heaven and still loving, protecting and cherishing me and I look forward to the day when I will reunite with you in heaven and be able to run to you and give you a hug and kiss again. Night, night Daddy, I love you!
