Now I understand that raising a family is an act of courage. Now I know how much you cared, how much you gave. How little you took in return. Inside this grown-up daughter lives a little girl who loves her Dad with all her heart and always, always will. I was not ready to lose you and didn't get to say goodby, or "I love you" one last time. You left a legacy of lasting love, the gift of one great Dad who will always remain with me in my heart until we meet again. Please kiss Mom & Jimmy. In my heart I carry each of you and there you will remain you are a part of me and that will never change. Goodbye Daddy. I LOVE YOU MORE... Nancy##imported-begin##Nancy B. Rougutt##imported-end##

I just wanted to say that living in our old neighborhood was great! Seems like everyone knew everyone, and that was fun. Your Dad was a kind man, and will be missed. Mom and Dad send their love too. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
