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!
