My dad Boyd has been through more than what we could ever imagine. The last 5yrs of his life he lived with me, we had a bond that no one could or will ever break. He was my rock as I was his during happiness, sadness and sickness. I want to thank my dad for everything he did for me, his son-in-law and our 2 boys. You were a great man and I could not have asked for a better father. Love forever until we meet again your daughter, Brandy.
