but always with Pride and Love.

Your winning smile,caring touch and laugh

will never be forgotten.It is comforting to know

You are in God’s hands,with relatives and friends

who have gone before,who love you also.

“Until we are together again.”

Sadly missed by yourfamily and Robin

May you always walk in sunshineAnd God’s love around you flow.

For the happiness you gave us,No one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you,But you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,The day God called you home.

A million times we’ve needed you,A million times we’ve cried.

If love could only have saved you,You never would have died.

Love, Dad, Mom and Dalton
