Dad -
There were so many things I wanted to tell you before you passed - but I knew I'd never get through them without a lot of tears, and you didn't need all that - but I know you knew I loved you dearly and that was the most important.
I just wanted you to know what a joy it was to have both you, and Mom in my life, and how blessed I have been to have you as a father-in-law. From day one - you welcomed me into your family and while others weren't so sure, I never doubted your sincere love for me, your new daughter-in-law, as well as Mom's.
Thank you for all the times we spent talking, our little one-on-one coffee clutch, and for all the wisdom you've imparted on me. You'll never know how much those times meant to me. You were one of the wisest, kindest, giving, and self-sacficing people I've ever known. The world could benefit from people modeling themselves after you. It would be a much better place. Peanut and I are both gonna give it our best to try to be more like you - you're going to be pretty tough to measure up to.
We love you, and we'll miss you - but we know you're with Mom now, and probably the happiest you've been in at least a year.
We'll love you forever,
Penny & Peanuts
