Dad we will never forget that smile, we love you and will always miss you.

You were always there when we needed you,
No task too great or small.
With a loving heart and willing hand,
For us you did them all.
Thanks for the years you gave us,
And for the great times we shared.
We only pray that when you left us,
You knew how much we cared.
God saw you getting tired,
When a recovery was not to be,
He put his arms around you,
And said, "Come unto Me".
We know you were tired,
And you needed a rest.
His garden must be beautiful,
For he only takes the best.Memorials
