Acknowledgement
The family wishes to express deep gratitude to everyone for
the prayers, cards and food during their time of
bereavement. Thank you for your support today and in the
days to come.
Bittersweet
There is a time to weep, and a time to laugh.
1 weep at your passing and I laugh and smile at our good times. But,
Daddy its bittersweet,
I will miss seeing you, hugging you and holding your hand.
But in the end you were in pain and frail and it was time to go home. But,
Daddy its bittersweet
I want to be selfish and keep you here with me forever.
But who better to be with for eternity ... BUT GOD!
I want you to enjoy your rest. But,
Daddy its bittersweet
