Dear Dawn and Family,
The loss of your dad James leaves a heartache no one can heal, but the love you have shared leaves memories no one can steal.
If only tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, You could walk right up to Heaven and bring him home again.
My heart breaks for you and your entire family.
