Birthday Memoriams

Happy 93rd heavenly birthday Dad. Your birthday brings both joy and pain, As cherished thoughts return again. The years may pass, the seasons change, Yet our memories of you remain the same. We miss your voice, your caring heart, And all the ways you played your part. Not a day goes by without a thought, Of the countless lessons that you taught. Though we cannot share this day as before, Your spirit walks beside us evermore. Until we meet again someday, We love and miss you more than words can say. Bonnie, Gary, Jeff, Shelly, Teresa, Marcia, Darren and families. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
