So often through life we meet people without really knowing or understanding what part they will play or how they will fit in and for how long. Then there are those who you get to know so well that you share different things with life experiences and such. Those are the ones I like to say leave footprints on our heart. You Dad are one of those people. We shared a lot of laughs. Started and finished many projects and along the way many cheese cakes and cookies and everything in between. I will always remember your kind spirit and your laugh when I would tell you something I probably shouldn't lol. I will leave that alone. I hope you always remember and I hope you left this world knowing that you truly did touch many lives. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for leaving your footprints on my heart. Always and forever.
