Deidre Mezbourian,

Dearest Dad, God looked around His garden and found an empty space,

He looked upon the Earth, and found a tired face.

He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest,

The garden must be beautiful, because He only takes the best.

Together again with Mum, his beloved Sadie.

We miss you so much already, always and forever in our hearts.

– Celene, Davina, Damon, and John and Deborah xxx.

Beloved Papa,

We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain,

To walk with us throughout our lives, until we meet again.

God saw you getting tired when a cure was not meant to be,

So He wrapped His arms around you, and whispered ‘Come unto me’.

You didn’t deserve what you went through, and so He gave you rest,

God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.

So when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain,

I could not wish you to come back, to suffer that again.
