Melissa & Robert,
The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love...
Your dad's smile and the good times that we went thru together will always be in our hearts... we're going to miss him dearly.
