Know we are thinking of you all and wish we could be there.Love,Jeannie & Doug
Any words I might utter would seem woefully inadequate, so I will quote this ~" Come With MeThe Lord saw you getting tiredAnd a cure was not to be,So He put his arms aroud youAnd whispered Come with me.With tearful eyes we watched you sufferAnd saw you fade away.Although we loved you dearly,We could not make you stay.A golden heart stopped beating,Your beautiful smile at rest.God broke our hearts to proveHe always takes the best.Its lonesome here without you,We miss you so each day.Our lives just arent the sameEver since you went away.When days are sad and lonelyAnd everything goes wrong,We hear you gently whisper,Cheer up and carry on.Each time we see your picture,You seem to smile and say,Dont cry, Im in Gods keeping,Well meet again someday."Daddy, I miss you more than I ever knew I could. I see you every night in my dreams. I have that small comfort.Rest now Daddy.
