To Dad How fortunate you were our Father, Your inspiration and guidance will always be with us. You taught us right from wrong And how to enjoy every day to its fullest. You worked so hard to clothe and feed us, Asking so very little in return. You always had that special answer, story or joke that always touched our hearts. We will truly miss you, Dad. Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories. May God care for you as you did for us. Again thanks. THOMSON FUNERAL CHAPELS 783-7211
