Dad, though you are no longer with us,

You are still alive in our hearts.

A day does not pass by that we don't think of you,

and all that you have done for us.

And all the years that passed, were empty without you,

All the times we missed, we could have had,

no matter how good, no matter how bad,

It would not have mattered, becuase you would have been there, Dad.

But God had other plans for you,

Plans that took you away from us,

and any times to be had.

Your Grandchildren will never have the honor to know you,

Though we show them the pictures of you and tell them how

wonderful a man and father you were.

You would be proud of all three of them, Dad.

Your memory still lives in our hearts and in our lives,

Though everyday the sun shall rise, and then shall set,

The memory of you shall never beset.

Rest in peace, Dad.

The song playing in the background is LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
which was my dad's favorite song. I remember when I was a child, I played
the piano and organ and my dad loved to hear me play Let There Be Peace on Earth
all the time. I feel it does my dad well to have this song playing on his
Memorial Site.

This is the last picture I took with my dad. It is also the last time I seen him alive. I treasure this picture more than any other. This is when he and mom came to California and visit with me for a week.

You are always in our Hearts Dad and we miss you So...

Song is Let There be Peace on Earth
