Dad, I am so proud of you. You are my everything and I couldnt have asked for a better father. You taught me to be brave and strong no matter what. I promise to never let you down. Love you with all my heart.

Dear Stephanie,
I just read the obituary of (I think) your father in the Des Moines Register this morning. I am not sure if you remember me or not. You were my trainer at Fitness Together for a while and then you moved to Denver. You were so nice to me and I just wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. Take care and love, Joyce Larrabure

Melissa,
Dave and I are very sorry for your loss. We love with all our hearts and are praying for you and your family in this very emotional time.
"I cannot bring the old days back
Your smile I cannot see
I can only treasure the memories
Of days that used to be"
Love you,
Kim Skees
