Tracey and Karey,
Harry had a son and daughter, that he was so proud of;
He was delighted when you two were born and showered you with love...

Thank your God above you, that you two were so blessed;
That when it came to assigning fathers, HE only sent his best...

I know this poem comes at a time when you are hurting, empty and sad,
It will be difficult to say goodbye to the man God chose to be your Dad...

Grateful that you were with him until the very end,
I'm sending prayers of comfort as a loving, caring friend.

Nancy and Family, our prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow. God Bless you all.
