In memory of a much loved husband, father, father-in-law, grandad and son who tragically and too soon left us suddenly one year ago.
You never said I'm leaving.
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it and only God knew why.
A million times we've needed you.
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts, you hold a place, no one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
Loved always and forever.
Your Loving Family.
