Cremation Arrangements by: Akin-Davis Funeral Home-LaBelle To My Sweet Daddy, My Best Friend If I only had five minutes the day you passed away, I would've had time to tell you the things I need to say. I hope you knew how much I loved you, you meant the world to me. You are my hero and the best Dad a man could ever be. I'd give you one last hug, I know that you would smile, I'd tell you that I don't know how I'll live without you, even for a while. I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand, tell you it's ok to go. And tell you that I'll miss you more than you will ever know.
