Fathers and Daughters
Share a Bond Forever

Over the course
of my lifetime,
I can't count the times
I had the chance
to tell you
how much you mean to me...
and I let them slip by
to wait until anouther day.
But Dad,
I don't want to wait
to tell you
how much I love you...
There are times
even now
when I want to wrap my arms
around your neck
and crawl up in your lap,
and have you comfort me
even though I'm grown.
And there are times
when I reach
for the phone,
knowing your voice
will pull me through
my dark moment,
because I know you're there
for me in this world of uncertainty...
and you love me regardless...
for who I am
and for what we are-
a part of each other forever.

Author- Sandra Mayhew


I Miss You Dad.
Love, Poopsie ( Corinne )

The Helgeson family, We were saddened to hear of Garth's passing. I was instantly filled with childhood memories. Garth and Cecilia were a second set of parents for me as I practically split my time between Davidson Cres. and Wentworth. Garth quickly changed my last name from Lukan to Lufkin (measuring tapes) and then further to Luf. It is difficult to take a loss but I know that the spirit of your family will ensure that there will be plenty of celebrating Garth's life. God Bless You All.

In Our Hearts

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
Author-Rose de Leon

Love and Miss You!
Shawn
