In ~*Loving Memory*~ of my Dad:

TSGT.(Ret.)Fred A. Minetto,Jr.

(August 14,1931-February 18,2004)

Dear Dad,

Today would have been your 73rd birthday,and there are no words to describe how much you have been missed these past 6 months and it's just so hard to concieve that for the rest of my life that I will never see you again or even get the opportunity to talk to you again in this lifetime.

Mom is doing okay., but she misses you so and no words can describe how hard it has been to see her missing you so much...you were the always the anchor of our family Dad..life as we knew it will just never be the same.

My sons miss you terribly too..but you'd be proud of them Dad..Jason maintained being on the honor roll this past year in College during the time of losing you.,and today...on your birthday Chris passed his Cisco Networking exam with flying colors!!....and hopefully,after trying so hard to get one...that Brandon finally has a job now.

I know that Fred and Becky miss you so very much too,I do as well and I think about you everyday.

Our loss has been Heaven's gain Dad..There is truly comfort in knowing you are in Heaven...please know you will never,ever be forgotten and will forever be sorely missed by me,and all of us.

Happy 73rd Birthday in Heaven Dad...I will always love you and always remember the sincere courage you demonstrated during your very short illness and untimely death.

For the rest of my life in all that I do I pray to always bring honor to you.

HUGE (((Hugs!!)))

Your Daughter,
Tina
