I am sorry for your loss, and reach out my heart to all of you.I wrote this poem for gumpy,.
As my heart out reaches,
For each one of you,
A loss for your family.,
And the community too.
For all that knew gumpy,
Didn't have to be told,
He smiled through his eyes,
And had a pure heart of gold.
We lost a good friend,
You lost a great dad,
Just hold on to memorys,
And never be sad.
So keep your head high,
Because you will know,
You now have an angel,
Where ever you go
