'*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
