He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there.... A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you and think of you. It feels like you are still at the hospital and that you are coming home. I miss talking to you and seeing you every time I walk through the door. I love you and miss you so much daddy. Some days it is just so hard for me to know that you are gone. My world changed that night as I stood there begging you not to leave me knowing you was gone and you went on to be with God and there was nothing that I could say to bring you back to me. You was the best dad in the world and I am very proud that God blessed me with all the years that I had with you although I feel like they still wasn't long enough. I love you and I know someday we will be together again heaven. Love your daughter, Donna

Little did we know that morning,that God would call your name.In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.It broke our hearts to lose you,The day God called you home You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide, And through we cannot see you You are always by our side Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.. we love you daddy

A beautiful garden now stands alone,
missing the one who nurtured it
But now he is gone,
His flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind,
... The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay,
he loved every flower even some that were weeds,
So much love he would plant with each little seed,
But just like his flowers he was part of Gods plan,
So when it was his time he reached down his hand,
He look through the Garden searching for the best,
That's when he found my daddy, it was his time to rest,
It was hard for those who loved him, to just let him go,
But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing him, remember if you just wait,
When God has a spot in his garden, he'll meet you at the gate....

There are no words to tell you
Just what I feel inside
The shock, the hurt, the anger
Might gradually subside

A million times I'll need you
A million times I'll cry
If Love alone could have saved you
You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to loose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home

Things will never be the same
And all though it hurts so bad
I will smile whenever I hear your name
And be proud you were my Dad. I love you Daddy RIP
