In Loving Remembrance of you my beloved Dad. As 9 years have passed since I held you as God took your hand & led you to your true HOME. I gives thanks to God, for the beautiful gift of being with you at the end of your earthly journey. I am so blessed to have such an amazing man as my DAD! To have time to share with you how deeply I loved you! As you said, (as we gathered around you while you were in the Grace Hospital) your beloved grandchildren standing at the foot of your bed---- You said---" I understand you are sad, knowing my departure is near, the beautiful realization and comfort for me, is knowing, I am deeply loved. To know, at my earthly life's end, I was LOVED! This is all that matters. I take this LOVE with me. Part of me remains here, in all of you. Our love for one another will never end." Forever LOVED & MISSED! But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run & not grow weary, they will walk & not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 Hug my beloved Mom & sister Lucille for me! Love Paula - Posted by: Paula Meyer (Daughter) on: Nov 16, 2015
