Dad,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arm around you and whispered come with me, with teaful eyes we watched you pass away, although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

I will miss you for ever dad you were my buddy.

Love you so much

Your daughter Betsy
