'*Like Sunshine'
Dad your smile, like sunshine on a
clear and beautiful day;
has touched and warmed all of us
that have come into your inner circle.
If there was someone with a frown,
or a downward mood, that entered into
your presence, in moments that
special sunshine smile would
capture them.
This sunshine you gave so freely
to everyone you meet,
there were no strangers in life for you.
I will remember the warmth of the
sunshine that was your smile and
hold it deep inside my heart and
pray it will continue to warm me
As I continue down lifes highway
without you and your smile.
Love until then:
Your Daughter Bet

God is good and remember this.
For no one else but He;
Can really know whafs best for us,
Or why some things must be.
He knows just why the winds must blow.
Or why the rain must fall;
And in His gracious loving way.
He cares about us all.
And when were faced with mysteries
That cant be understood;
Through living faith, and faith alone.
We know that God is good.
A cknowledgement
The family wishes to thank friends, neighbors,
relatives and especially Moodys Funeral Home
for their kindness and support shown during the
