Miss you so much Dad.

Softly out of the shadows there came a gentle call,

You took the hand God offered you and quietly left us all.

And although we cannot hold you we will never let you go,

Because in our hearts you will live forever, because we loved you so.

Jo, Mandie and Rob.

We had a wonderful Papa,

One who never really grew old.

His smile is made of sunshine,

And his heart was solid gold.

Love you Papa.
