Papa, I thought that the time that has passed would ease the hurt. It doesn't. I still miss you sooooo much!! You were the purest soul there ever was. I would give it all just to spend another day with you. I love you and know we will meet again one day.

To Helen, Debra, Teresa, Ian and Heather - Our sympathy in your great loss. Mr Kendrick was a wonderful person. Hold on to the memories. "For memory will keep what it has heard forever etched upon the heart's own seed, and time shall not erase one tender word that love has written down for future need - Oh, dearest, hold this knowledge and be glad - not even death destroys what love has had." from a poem by Dorothy Calloway
