A Tribute
, This Is a Tribute to Our Loving Father
Willie Thomas Kimble
It seems as only yesterday when we were being raised in your loving care. A s time went on our love for you grew stronger than anything imaginable. The honor and respect we
feel are far more than any words can explain. N o t only were you a loving father to us, but a
mentor, role model, and also a friend. We will never forget alithe sacrifices you made,
the trials and tribulations and the love you shared with us. This love also was passed from
sons to grandsons and granddaughters. We just want to take this moment just to tell you
how much we all love you and will miss you
very much. We know once you've reached that special place in heaven with the Lord you are sure to touch as many hearts there as you did on this very earth. We will always love you
and have you in our hearts forever.

In all th a t he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so be put H is arms around you and whispered "come to me. "
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.' A. G olden H e a rt stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, H e only takes the best.
