Interment will be held in Mountain View Cemetery. You may have thought I didn't see, Or that I hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything It's written on my heart. Without you Dad I wouldn't be The man I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. I've grown up with your values, And I'm very glad I did; So here's to you dear father, From your forever grateful kid. The Hamilton Family would like to thank the nurses at St. Joseph's Hospice for the excellent care. Also Father Nikolaos Tambakis for being there all hours of the night.
