As We Look Back
As we look back over time, we find ourselves wondering...
Did we remember to thank you enough for all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides to help and support us.
To celebrate our successes, to understand our problems
And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgment, courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you for the sacrifices you made
To let us have the very best? And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show
Our Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
Your Loving Children
Acknowledgements
We wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many
comforting words, floral tributes, prayers and many other
expressions of kindness and thoughtful deeds in our time of need.
May God bless each of you.
The Gowdy Family
