"Away to the westward
I'm longing to be
Where the beauties of heaven
Unfold by the sea
Where the sweet purple heather blooms
Fragrant and free
On a hilltop high above
The Dark Island"

Donna and Kevin I am truly sorry for your loss. Helen and I always had great times with Don and Donna. He was always there to help and enjoy his family. He at times was quite a funny guy who loved life.

The Fallen Limb – author unknown.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says:
Grieve not for me. Remember the best of times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage. I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls.
I will miss you dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes when we are together again.
