Dad you are my hero, my best friend, my teacher. You have taught me well.

I will carry on your legacy for the rest of my life.

I will never forget all the good times we had. As for the bad times, we never had any

that I can remember. I will always love

and cherish you forever. Life without you will be hard,

but you taught me that nothing in life is easy, so I'll drive on being the man you raised me to

be. Love you always, Your son Garret!!!

Shorty and Owen

Shorty and Aunt Velma

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be,

So He put His arms around you

And whispered “come with me”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

And saw you fade way.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Laying loving hands at rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.
