It has been 9 long, lonely years, although it seems like yesterday that God called you home.<br><br>You are always on our minds and in our hearts.<br><br>Softly the leaves of memory fall.<br><br>Gently we gather and treasure them all. A thought, a prayer are all we can give. These you will have as long as we live.<br><br>We pray that some day we will all be together.<br><br>We miss you and love you.<br><br>Pray for us as we pray for you.<br><br>Your loving wife, Pat, your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.<div></div><br>
