Dear Mom,
You are the sweetest and best companion a man ever had or could have. If I tried all my life I couldn’t really find words to tell you how I really feel about you. I, undeserving as I am, have been so wonderfully blessed by god in having you at my side, that I never can be thankful enough for his gift to me — the love of a truly good woman.
With all my love.
Dad
