Our Dad was someone wonderful and words cannot convey, how much we wish that he was here once more with us today.
Missing you Dad!

He never looked for praises
He was never one to boast
He just went on quietly working for the ones he loved the most.
His dreams were seldom spoken
His wants were very few
and most of the time his worries went unspoken too.
He was a firm foundation through any storms in life
A sturdy hand to hold on to in times of stress and strife.
A true friend we could turn to when times were good or bad, one of our greatest blessings...
The man that we called Dad!
Miss you Dad!

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason will change the way we feel.
No one knows the heartache, that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times we've broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something, so you know without a doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without.
Love you Dad!

Dad, I miss you.

May your grief be sufficient but memories of the love Uncle Virgil always showed openly and abundantly to family, friends and everyone be forever with you as comfort. I remember Uncle as always being engaged in and with everyone at a function or activity - His gentle caring and genuine interest were infectious. RIH
