Dad:
It's too soon for you to leave us.
We aren't ready to let you go.
How will we go on without you?
We really don't want to know.
You've had quite the life, but it's time to go home.
Don't worry about us, we'll be okay.
We love you and will miss you
And we'll all see you again, someday.
Oh, one last thing we need to say before you leave
We love you Dad!
~Danny, Wes, Scott, and LeEtte
