IN LOVING MEMORIAM,

He was a wonderful man who gave his family his all. He loved his family very much, and never once failed to show it. Holidays were of a special joy to him, with all the family gathering at his home to celebrate the day. He meant so much to so many, and will be greatly missed.
Godspeed Dad, We Love You.

We Thought Of You Today Dad,

We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too.

We think of you in silence
And make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.

Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.
We love and miss you Dad.
