'Forever in our hearts'

Our Dear Dad
Although we are apart now
You're always in our hearts,
In every single thing we do,
You play the biggest part.
When we have to make decisions
And we don't know what to do,
Our thoughts, we find
Will go right back to you.
We think of how you'd handle it
And try to work it out,
It's at times like this we’ll really miss
Having you about.
Not only for this reason
When things are going bad,
There's a million different reasons
Why we’ll miss you Dad.


We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.
There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

The funeral service was held Wednesday 14th May 2008
at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
