Trish, Nancy and Mom, please know we, as so many others, are thinking of you and sharing your heartache. At this time, words may not comfort but in time, you will find peace. Heaven has the best of the best. He was truly a great man, serving country and family his whole life. Thank you for sharing precious memories.

God saw that he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around him and whispered,
"Come with Me." So with tearful eyes,
We watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes "the best".

We Love and Miss You So Much Dad
