Lilly Bryant left a message on September 19, 2021:
A father's hands are the tools he uses to fix what needs fixing, to keep his loved ones happy and safe. They are hands that reach out to help others or give an encouraging pat on the back. They fold in prayer at the end of the day and open with the warmth of a welcoming-home hug. A father's hands are the tools he uses to build the loving foundation a family is built upon. Dad, you have had a hand in so much of what is good in my life. Thank you for your guidance, your sacrifice and, most of all, your love. I love you to eternity. Until we meet again. Your loving daughter, Lilly
