“A Beautiful Life” A beautiful life That came to an end, He died as he lived, Everyone’s Friend
~ Acknowledgements ~
Realize that tomorrow is not ours to understand and know that God never wastes our pain. For every loss He sends to us is followed by rich gains. Today is our loss, our hurt, and our pain. We recognize our gains in our friends and family. With the flowers, calls, whispered prayers, and every deed of kindness has been a source of our strength and comfort.
~The Family
In our hearts a memory Will always be kept, of one we loved, and will never forget

Dad
If I could write a story It would be the greatest ever told Of a kind and loving Dad Who had a heart of gold I could write a million pages But still be unable to say, just how Much I love and miss him Every single day I will remember all he taught me I’m hurt but won’t be sad Because he’ll send me down the answers And he’l always be MY DAD
