"A golden heart stopped beating…hardworking hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best. A million times we'll think of you. A million times, we'll cry. If love could have saved you, Dad, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly. In death we love you still. And in our hearts you hold a place that no one else can fill."
Beloved husband, father, brother and grandpa, thank you for the many lessons, laughs and memories. You will be forever in our hearts. May God keep you in his loving care until we may all be together again in His Kingdom.
