For You Dad Love Your Daughter
Until We Meet Again
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile to my face.
If only I could have you back for just a little while longer, we could sit and talk again just like we used to do.
Your love always meant so very much and always will. Due to the fact that you are no longer here, will cause me so much pain. But, you are forever in my heart until We Meet Again.
Love your Baby Girl, LaTonya Moore
