"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow"
Not even the deepest words can or will explain the heartache so many are feeling. You were an amazing person, friend to so many as well as a father. Never forgotten. XO

A great loving and caring father who made sure his children were safe and cared for and in return they gave their love back to Dad.
