    This is for you daddy, I know your time on earth was troubled. Only you could know the pain. You weren't afraid to face the devil, you were no stranger to his name. So, go rest high on that mountain, dad your work on earth is done. Go to Heaven a shoutin, but for the Father and the Son. I Love You, Shawn
