It is often a wonder what to say at a time like this and more so very difficult. To celebrate the memory of our dad is something I feel can be done better through thoughts rather than words however, the saying in life is "you never know what you have until its gone". I believe its true to admit that this was the case when finding out about the sudden passing of our dad as nothing is more unexpected in life than death. I also believe that its the recognition of such an event which tells you whether you really knew what you had and as a family, in my father we knew that he was a loving Brother, Husband, Father and Grandfather. His duty was never to give us a life of riches, but to give and teach us the priorities of life. He taught and guided his family through life and there is no doubt through my mind that he will still guide us through lifes challenges when we are in need of him. The presence of my father may not be here for us all to see with our own eyes, but forever he will live through his family and friends in heart, mind and soul. Not a day will go by when we will not think of you, Not a morning or night when we shall not pray for you, We love you Dad.
