To my dear friend Sara and the entire Parker family,
My prayer for you all is that you will know "peace of heart" in your time of sadness and loss. May your many years of beautiful memories be of great comfort to you now. May you feel the Hand of God beneath you, through the prayers of both those who could be there and those who are far away.
In deepest sympathy,
Pam Hart and family

Because You're Not Here
The start of the day seems darker
The drive to the golf course seems longer
The minutes to tee-off seem shorter
Because you’re not here
The view from the tee box is different
Fairways appear longer, narrower and not as green
The rough looks taller and thicker than usual
Because you’re not here
My drives have lost yards
My approach shots fall short
My putts break uncontrollably
Because you’re not here
Sand traps have become barren deserts
Water hazards have become uncharted oceans
Out-of-bounds surround me on all sides
Because you’re not here
But the rounds that were played
The golf balls that were lost
The mulligans that were taken
And the laughs that were shared
Will stay with me for a lifetime
Because you were there.
So when it is my time to go
And I hope I’m heaven bound
When I see you again Pa
I hope you'll join me for another round

God Bless Cy and his family. He was a very nice man to work with. He always had a kind word and a smile for those who visited him. He will be missed.
