Dad. That's what I used to call you. You will be in my heart forever. I am so pleased that I was able to get to know you. Though you may have not known it you were very much a father figure to me. You will be missed very dearly. You may have parted from this earth but I know you are still with us and all around us. It has been almost a year now that you have been gone and a day has not gone by where something I see or do reminds me of you. I know in my heart that you are very close by.

In Tears we saw you sinking And watched you fade away. Our hearts were broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain, How could we wish you back With us to suffer again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. (Author Unknown)

Along with a blessing of a sister-in-law, our family was graced with getting to know Fran & Norm Bogli. He was a wise man, always greeted you with a smile and a hug, and had an unforgettable & immistakable laugh. May he be smiling down at all of us from Heaven, knowing how much he was cared for and fondly remembered. Love you Norm!
