Raina says
I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY DAD. IT REALLY DOES HURT TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE. I JUST WISH I HAD GOTTEN THE CHANCE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON ONE LAST TIME BEFORE YOU LEFT. FEELING THE PAIN AND THE SORROW AND HEARING ABOUT YOU PASSING REALLY MAKES ME REGRET NOT SEEING YOU WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO ONE LAST TIME. BUT NOW THAT I KNOW YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN HERE, MAKES ME FEEL BETTER AND TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING ANY LONGER. i LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH DADDY. THE MEMORIES WE HAD TOGETHER ARE IN MY HEART FOREVER. NEVER ACTUALLY HAVING THE KIND OF FATHER AND DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP MAKES ME WISH WE HAD THAT. BUT, AT LEAST I HAD GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU SOME WHAT. JUST REMEMBER DAD, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. WATCH OVER US, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. LOVE YOU.

Terra says
I never really got to visit my dad and last time i saw him i think i was 6 and i had cancer when i heard he had died i cared but at the same time i didnt because he didnt want me but i did care because he was my dad and when i got old enough i wanted the chance to talk to him and ask him exactly why he left us and i would tell him no excuses and if he didnt want me why did he make me with my mom who i have also never really met maybe if she lives when im older i will get to ask her a similar question
