"Down a road thats calm and peaceful Guided by Gods loving hand; He has gone upon a journey To a distant, brighter land, He wished no one a last farewell, Or even said goodbye; He had gone before we knew it. . . And only God knows why. Sincere and kind in heart and mind, What a beautiful memory he left behind."
The family gratefully acknowledges all acts of kindness shown to them during their time of bereavement.
