Passing time can never dim
A father is love
Our love for him."
Daddy, you have a very special place
That no one else can ever fill
In the hearts of we who loved you
And you always will.
We will miss the times and feelings we shared
Both the happy and the sad.
We will miss the little things, that at the time, seem-
ed so unimportant.
We will miss your strong voice, determined nature and
guiding hand.
But most of all, we will miss you, the father and the
man.

A CKNO WLEDGEMENTS
Perhaps you sent a card or gram or sat quietly in a
chair.
Perhaps you sent food or a spray, if so, we saw it
there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friends
could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us
today.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you
so much whatever your part.
THE WILKERSON FAMILY
