Through Our Fathers Eyes
Through our fathers eyes, we know that youll see the man we knew
our father to be. He was a father who sought to please his children. He
was always there; no matter what the need may have been. When we
looked into our fathers eyes, we knew the need would be met. For us,
he was a Christian Guide. Often hed remind us, let the Bible help you
to abide. Weve been very blessed to have had him sent our way, from
the beginning until the very last day. The shoes our father wore, no one
will ever be able to fill. It was a pair that takes rare time to build.
Weve come today to say farewell and to share how much he influenced
our lives. We hope that you, too, can better understand and appreciate
our reasons for having seen life THROUGH OUR FATHERS EYES!
We will always love you Dad
