Your sons are standing where they are right now is only because of you, your hard work, your self belief and you were always happy.

This house without you would be less entertaining! We love you and will always do. Your name will always stay on top. But I know one thing, you are looking after us from above the same way you did here!

You were proud of us but daddy we all are proud of the way you lived your life! As I said yesterday to you, one last ride! Now rest in peace my king. I will miss you everyday of my life. Love you daddddy! ”
