We Remember You

You were a pillar of strength

Our supporter and our rock

So strong and independent

But never lived by a clock.

You worked at your own pace

always willing to lend a helping hand.

The one who always loved us

Who taught us your wisdom until we’d understand .

You were the jack of all trades

Although carpentry was your passion

There was nothing you wouldn’t try

To be like you, we could only imagine.

The memories we created together

Are ones forever ingrained in our minds

If only we could hear your gruff voice

Calling "babe" just one more time.

It broke our hearts to lose you

So soon that our hearts still sting

But even in your passing

You are forever the wind beneath our wings

We love you always!

Husband, Dad and Papa
