"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love" Author Unknown.

Dad: I know you are in heaven looking down on us. We will always treasure the wonderful memories. We love you very much.

Dad,
You are resting now,in a better place.I will always remember you,no matter where I am. Weekends won't be the same without you.
One day we shall be together again,in the mean time I will practice playing DOMINO'S.

Love your son,

Dear Grandpa,
It won't be the same walking into your house without greeting you at the sofa right by the door. I'll remember watching baseball games on tv with you and my brothers this past summer. I'll also remember how you always thought I was taller every time you saw me.

You fought a very strong and brave battle but I know you're happy, healthy, and resting in Heaven now.

I'll never forget you. And of course whenever I see dominoes or a tomato garden, I'll think of you. :)

Love,
Lauren

I know you’re in heaven above
Looking down on us with all your love
Only to whisper in our ear
Remember that I’ll never stopped loving you dear

I’ll always remember the good times we had
Remember the man, my wonderful dad
I’ll remember you each and every day
And if I need to talk to you, I’ll just sit down and pray

One day we’ll be together again
To talk about all the places we been
Until the time I’ll always treasure
Having you for a dad was such a great pleasure
