And if tomorrow you should find. 
That Im no longer by your side. 
Then it was time for me to go. 
And it would help me if I know. 
That you remember me. 
Not for what Ive done. 
But for all the things Ive always meant to do.

LOVE TO DADDY 
There was no difficulty that our love did not conquer: No 
door that our love did not open; No gulf that our love did not 
bridge; No wall that our love did not throw down; No sin that 
our love did not forgive. 
It made no difference how deeply seated the trouble, 
how hopeless the outlook, how muddle the tangle, how great 
the mistake, our love for you dissolved it all. 
Weve had our laughter, our haopiness, our pain and our 
sorrow, through it all we had an sufficient amount of love for 
our daddy. Even though you are no longer with us. Our love 
transends, and we are the happiest and most powerful family 
in the world. Love is a little thing, yet it has no knowledge of 
time, space, or death. So in daddys new freedom, we know 
that our love surrounds him. And God Bless You for being 
who you were. Our Daddy. 
Love, 
Bonnie, Faye, Sandra and Tamar
