Online condolences at www.866allfaiths.com Dad, today I had to say goodbye to you And for now we need to go in separate ways. I remember how your arms held me and always gave me strength. You were always there to listen, love, teach and guide me, You were always my best friend. In my triumphs you were always proud and in my defeats you gave me strength. I have always been very proud and privileged to call you my dad. Deep inside my heart you’ll always be with me, for my love is always with you. I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time. I remember the last time I held you’re hand and how you looked at me. If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go. I feel the world stop and my heart stop beating when I think you are gone……. How I wish I was only dreaming and you would walk in my door and smile - Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, my words trapped by my sorrow. Thank you Dad…. For always understanding, listening, caring, and loving me for the rest of your life. The greatest gift God gave me was you…. my Dad… I miss you and will love you always...Keeping you in my heart, thoughts and prayers, Until the next time we meet in Heaven, I must return the gift God gave me… He is getting the best With all our Love Your Family To view the taped webcast of the service held on Saturday, October 29, 2011, please click on the above link "View Video Tribute" at the top of this page.
