“You fought the greatest battle, Dad. “Your love, humor and joy are carried with us and through us every day.”
“In the words we speak, in the steps we take, in the songs we sing, throughout this dance of life you will always shine through.”
“Thank you for everything.” Above all, thank you for the gift of strength. “You taught my brother and me how to walk with our heads held high, how to rise with grace even after a fall, how to fight for what we believe in and what is right, and finally…never suffer fools.”
She continued: ‘He always held my hand so tightly, especially when I was nervous.’ ‘Polly, you got this,’ he would say.’
