My dad was a good man he would do anything for any one when i asked him to do thinking for me and he jumped and did it for me he was so loving. he loved his family and friends he will be miss and loved i will never for get my dad.i cry when i see his pic my dad called me all the time and ask what i was doing and he cared so much about his kids and his wife!!!!! Goodbye Dad,I'll see you soon I'll remember all the good times Not this afternoon
I'll remember you each and every day And if I need to talk I'll just have to pray I'm so sad to see you go This I hope you will know It's not fair you went away I'll never again hear you say "I love you, guys"
Never will you walk me down the aisle Never again will I see you smile Daddy, I'm so sad I'm too young to lose my Dad If you were here you'd say, be strong
And maybe even sing me a song It's just so hard to say goodbye I can't help but to break down and cry
I know you're in heaven up above Watching over me with your love Now I must remember the good times we had Remember the man, my wonderful Dad
So until we meet again, I'll do what I can to make you proud Honor your memory and cry out loud
Even though we are apart Dad, you'll live on within my heart

Darlene & Family:

We are so sorry for your loss. I pray for you through this difficult time. Don is in a better place and is not suffering any more. I know how difficult it is to lose someone close to you. Just hang on and try to be strong.  It's ok to cry and ok to laugh.  Always remember one special thing in your heart that you shared.  You all need to stick together and take care of each other.

Darlene, we love you very much!

Love, Stanley, Shirley & Jeff
