In Loving Memory
Dad, I am saddened by your great loss. I met Maxine in 1993 while we ate a hot dog at Chicago Dog in Murray Utah. I immediately knew why you were so in love whit this woman! She was a shinning star, with a smile that noone could resist. I grieve with you and I assure you that you will be reunited again with your lovely Maxine. You are the only father I have ever had., and I love you. Your son, John Smith
