Dear Dad, You had a voice for singing, and many a song you did sing. You had the hands for helping, and so many people you helped. You had the knack of cooking, such tasty things you did make. You had the knowledge of figures, and thousands of numbers you worked. Your eyes were your best feature, full of mischief and delight, you had a smile that was contagious, and we saw it to the end. You had the love of giving, and you always gave your best. Many hours you gave to friends and family, but especially to your church. You only had one daughter, but of you she is so proud. When it comes to fathers, for her you were the best. Love you Dad! Faye
