Father, the time has come when we say goodbye to 
you. We miss you, and we will be lonesome for the father 
we knew and loved. 
We will look back to the years ago, when we walked 
by your side, and followed you to and fro as you wandered 
far and wide. 
You shared with us day by day many things we will 
never forget. 
Your love will be with us forever. 
We will miss you, yes, but forget you never. 
So farewell from all of us.
