"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you leant in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't teamed anything." Muhammed Ali March 25,1923 June 23,1999 God looked around His garden, And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never, Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you, But you-didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing is the same, But as God us one by one, The chain will link again. -author unknown Happy Birthday Dad (Boppa) Love, Bob, Ken, Nan, Di, Roy, Ryan and "Dino" "Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him."
