"I loved you from the moment we locked eyes about 30-seconds after you were born, and I’ll love you just as deeply for eternity – unconditionally. That means through ups and downs, wins and losses, triumphs and failures. That love never changes. I hope you’ve always known that."

"Marlee, you make me so proud. Before you I had no idea a 5-year-old could have so much love and compassion. I remember all the times your sister said she was afraid of the dark or a storm. Your response was always, “it’s ok, I’ll take care of you.” At night, when we would pray, you would pray for me, your mother, your teachers and friends. Even Savannah the cat. You had so much love for others at such a young age. Nothing on earth could make me prouder as a father."

 "I realize you haven't had the same spiritual experiences as me, but if you will strive to put God first in your life, then you won't even believe how amazing your life will be. You say, how am I supposed to do that Daddy? Good question Reigan. Just like you talk to me as your Daddy on earth, you can talk to Him (I do, and I even call Him Daddy. He loves you and wants a relationship with you, just like I do. I would die for you and He did die for you. I love you so very much. Keep up the great work!"
