Not sure what to say?

We still miss you and can't believe you're gone. Until we meet again rest in love. Your loving family.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

Daddy,
We love you but God loves you more that's why you've been called home. You took care of us now he'll take care of you. Your resting with the Lord is a peace of mind we can all look forward to. Rest on until we meet again. Love, your child forever.

Ethel, and Family We pray that god gives you & your family strength during this diffcult time. Trust in god for he will carry you through your darkest hour. Your cousin Essie & The Family

To the Family of the Collie Pyron, Jr you've my deeply sympathy and will be missed. Love you'll. From the Crumity family Janice & Ted Crumity in Monticello, Fl
