Dad
I would love to hold you one more time
To say I love you and I will be fine
Your now where only angels roam
God reached down and took you home

Love you always

You cared about others before yourself. You worked nonstop to support 5 children. You allowed me to live my life on my own terms. You made everyday worthwhile. You are loved beyond words. You are missed beyond imagination. I am proud to be your son. The greatest gift i ever received was having you as my father. A real Superman !

GO LEAFS GO DAD !
