A Message to my Father-in-Law,

Although I only got to know you for a short time, that's all it took to know that you were a real down to earth man, who radiated when speaking about his love for his family. I knew you were a good man.

I said a prayer for you, and asked God to keep you warm and safe, to make a path for you, for you are on the way.
Now you're pain free and watching us from above, please pray for us,
we still seek your love.

Goodbye's are not forever, we will see you one day, but for now ,we must part.

NOT EVER GONE
JUST MOVED ON!

Love your daughter-in-law
Ann Cook (Tony's) wife****
