Every child dreads the day when they lose a parent. On April 6 I lost my father. A lot of funny memories are with my dad. His sense of humor was one of a kind. His good looks and never aged face always had a smile. I couldn’t be there a lot but you were always in my heart and will remain there. Love your loving daughter (Teresa that you named )but mommy & you called me Tammy my whole life. That’s another story. R.I.P dad check on my daughter Lisamarie for me . Love you forever.❤️
I just wanted to say my father also had another step daughter who he raised like his own regretfully she passed away love you Dad mom Joyce mark and Lisa Marie and if I forgot someone I’m sorry but I love you all
