Dear Dad,

I knew you for fifteen years and during those years I have learnt so much from you. What you have taught me will

help me tremendously in the future.

I could write a whole essay on how important you were to everyone and how many people loved and cared for you!

The truth is that you were a great person and a great father to me.

I know many people who would have loved to have a Dad like you. The world is a cruel, cruel place.

May you rest peacefully now.

Everyone will miss you dearly, especially me, but you will never be forgotten!

You will always be part of my life and I know you will always be with me.

Love from your only son,

Stuart
