His smile always warmed us His care guided us His selflessness led us With the wings of an angel He walks in beauty To the arms of God And assumes his place No pain can hurt him No fear he feels For the love of God. Will hold him near. We love and miss you And always will. Hubby, Dad and Grandpa CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
