  8. I was a toddler when l asked you if l could call you dad, you called me sparra. From than on you were the most important man in my life & there for every important event in my life. You gave me away twice & joked the second time had to stick, it stuck 3 kids latter, you were their poppy Jack, the kids loved talking to on the phone from when they could talk. Sadly you only met one of them. But you will forever in all our hearts.

    Any Man can be a father it takes a extra special Man to be a Dad. I have & will Always love you as my Dad.

    Love to Berlie & family & the Matthews Family
