Tribute From The Family
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you drift away, Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, We could not wish you back,
to suffer it all again.
To those ofyou who have loved ones, Treasure them with care,
Because you will never know their value Until you see their empty chair.

Tribute To Our Father
Dad, already a million times weve needed you and a million times weve cried. If love alone could have spared you, you never would have died. God saw the road was getting rough, The hill was hard to climb, He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, "Peace Be Thine." The long hours, the days ofpain,The sleepless nights are passed, The ever patient worn out frame has found sweet
rest at last. We Love You,
Kim and T. ].
**********
Words are inadequate to express the humbleness and gratefulness we feel toward all our friends who have consoled us during the illness and our bereavement of our departed loved one. We graciously acknowledge all prayers, cards, visits and all other acts of kindness shown during this time. We saw all of these as Gods love expressed through you. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you.
. . . THE STREETMAN FAMILY
