A fathers love is sent from the Heavens above.
A father, a son, he was misunderstood, only because no on could.
A life he lived full of struggle and strife, he now is at peace, no more struggles of life.
A fathers love is sent from the Heavens above.
A father, a son, he was misunderstood, only because no one could.
A life full of turmoil and fear, now he'll have not another tear.
A fathers love is sent from the Heavens above.
A father who will have no more pain, no more fear, now at peace with Our Father Above. He was an angel at heart, no one knew because he was so misunderstood.
Love your sons and family.

Uncle Skip,
You will be missed, but never forgotten. You were always a fighter all the way up until you took your last breathe. You are in Gods hands now and I'm at peace with that because you are not suffering any more. I know that you are probably sitting by the water, having a beer and playing ball with Emmitt or playing cards with Gloria. I Love you and Rest In Peace.
