For you Ma, I saw this poem and thought of you and Dad....
If I should go tomorrow it would never be goodbye,
for I have left my heart with you,
so dont you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
shall reach from the stars,
you'll feel it from the heavens,
and it will heal the scars.

Dear Bob and Julie and family,
Words cannot heal the pain of losing someone so dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tiffany Nowak

God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And then He looked down upon the 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 earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were 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.
I love you grandpa!

Julie Nowak
