I fill like my father has been taken to soon from me and my children but i know that god has a plan for each of us and it was his time to go, I know that he is watching me and my kids and i hope that he is smiling down on us. I will forever miss him the pain and hurt are to deep to put into words. I LOVE YOU DAD ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!

The Day God Called You Home

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down
Upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on this earth again.
He saw that the road
Getting rough, and the hills
Are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Marcia, May God Bless You and All of Greg's Family in this time of Sorrow..
