My heart again is broken, though this time not for some man,
But because my daddy was taken; too soon
I've always taken for granted that he would always be here,
To spring my ideas off of: to simply lend a patient ear.
But here I am, a woman, a grown up girl at best,
with only a stone to talk to, in the place my daddy rests.

I've so much living left ahead; I'm not sure how to do,
without this great man at my back; saying, "Daddy, believes in you."
Mom says I've always been his pride and joy, his only little girl,
Even though it was years ago that I outgrew ribbons and curls.
Goodbye is not an easy thing, when you've had no time to say it;
I just know that he is smiling on me, even when I don't feel its fit.

With each new day that passes, I return home in eager haste
wishing there was just one more day, to cherish and not waste.
One more day to be greeted with a smile, and hear him say to me
"Hey-hey sweetheart," sitting in the chair, on the porch he'd be.
But this wish will not be granted, I'm learning more each day
so I have to face the tomorrows, as though I'm really okay.

Daddy was with me, when I meet my husband-to-be,
and on the day I married, he stood in that isle with me.
When I learn I'd be a mother, he held me in his arms
and when I welcomed his grandchildren, I know they have his charm.
Though I cannot see him anymore, I know he's very much still near
I can feel Daddy's hands holding me now, and again I shed some tears.

Daddy, I know you hear me when I miss you and I cry
I don't understand the reasons you had to leave, so I often question why.
It's hard to live without you and to know that you're not there,
when I stop myself from picking up the phone because I have some news to share.
But I know I have your angel wings around me, guarding me night and day
this road is long and lonesome; my dreams are our visits, all along the way.

I love and miss you with all my heart, Your Daughter
























I'AM EVERYWHERE

Please don't mourn for me I'm still here,
though you don't see I'm right by your
side each night and day and within your heart
I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart

I'll never wander out of your sight
I'm the brightest star on a summer night
I'll never be beyond your reach
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around

I'm the first warm raindrop that April will bring
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts the shine
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine

When you start thinking there's no one to love you
you can talk to me through the Lord above you
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze

I'am the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
I'm the smile you see on a babys face
Just look for me, I'm everyplace.....

A FATHERS TOUCH, A DADDYS KISS,
A GRIEVING DAUGHTER, YOUR GREATLY MISSED.

AN EMPTY HOUSE, AN EMPTY CHAIR,
A FATHERS LOVE, NO LONGER THERE.

A BROKEN HEART, TEAR FILLED EYE
ANOTHER SOUL TO FILL THE SKY

MANY MEMORIES IN MY MIND,
SOME I LAUGHT, SOME I CRY

THE TIMES WE SHARED, THE LAUGHS WE HAD,
THINGS I MISS WHEN I THINK OF YOU DAD/RELIZING 
THATS ALL I HAVE TO HOLD ON TOO
ONLY MEMORIES, OF WHAT ONCE WAS YOU.

MISSING YOUR LAUGHT, I WILL NEVER AGAIN HEAR,
THAT IS THE REALITY THAT FILLS ME WITH SO MUCH FEAR.

NO MORE SMILE ON YOUR FACE,
NO MORE WARMTH OF YOUR EMBRACE.

THE LAST HUG, THE LAST KISS.
THE LAST "GOODBYE" LEAVE ME WITH ONE LAST WISH.

TO HAVE YOU DAD, HERE TODAY,
NEVER TO LEAVE YOUR DAUGHTER THIS WAY.

A FATHERS TOUCH, A DADDY'S KISS,
A GRIEVEING DAUGHTER, YOUR'RE GREATLY MISSED!






When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.

An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue

We sat beside your bedside,

Our hearts were crushed

and sore;

We did our best to the end,

'Til we could do no more.

In tears we watched

you sinking,

We watched you fade away;

And though our hearts

were breaking,

We knew you could not stay.

You left behind some

aching hearts,

That loved you most sincere;

We never shall and never will

Forget you Daddy dear.

We Love You...Daddy !!

Were you one of the Lucky Ones?

Did you get to meet the one that lived
every day as if it were his last?

Did you see that smiling face,
did you hear his infectious laugh?

Did you know the one that had a hug
for even the ones that fussed at him?

Did you ever go somewhere and know
when the life of the party arrived?

Did you know the one that could make
the best of the worst situation?

Did you feel like you were a special
person around him?

Did you ever feel so loved?

Were you one of the lucky ones...
THAT GOT TO MEET MY DAD…

Daddy loved to speak of his earlier days and tell
 us stories, some happy and some sad. 
He will be most remembered by his family 
for his strength, courage and love.
 He was a man of great honor and one to 
never speak bad or cruel of anyone. For a 
man so big and strong he had a soft heart
 and this was a side of him that 
we cherish the most. All his children 
and grandchildren remember a man of kindness, 
dignity and a gentle hand. Even if you did
 wrong he still looked at you with love
 and pride, I don't think we could
 ever have disappointed him.

Our father is a large part of us and who we are. 
We miss him dearly and he will always be in our hearts

A Million Times
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died. 

 

If all the world

was ours to give, 
We would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door.
To hear your voice and see you smile,
To sit and talk a while,
To be with you that same old way,
Would be our finest day.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

If you ever need me daddy,
Look deep within my dreams.
Dreams that never came true,
Not meant to be it seems.

I'm there almost every night,
As the dreams will never end.
I dream to hide my tears and,
for my lonely heart to mend.

I feel angel's love around me,
They sense my lonely heart.
And know the dreams I have of you,
From me will never part.

I pray the dark clouds will drift away,
That the sun will fall on me.
But in the darkness of the night,
It's you I always see.

In my heart you'll always be,
In a very special place.
That no other could ever take away,
Or any dreams erase.

 IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
AND MEMORIES WERE A LANE
I WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
TO BRING YOU HOME AGAIN
NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN
NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY
MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

 Daddy loved to help his children and 
see them achieve their goals. He was proud
 of all his children and his face would light 
up at the sight of his grandchildren. 
He was most proud of making sure all 
his children stayed together and his 
happiest times were those spent 
with us, holidays, family gatherings.

I’LL NEVER FORGET THE TIMES WE SHARED
THROUGH THICK AND THIN YOU’D ALWAYS BE THERE
YOU HAD ONE OF THE BIGGEST HEARTS I HAVE EVER SEEN
NEVER TARNISHED WITH ENVY OR GREED
YOUR HEART BLEED WITH KINDNESS AND LOVE NO MATTER WHAT THE
SITUATION
YOUR HEART WAS TRULY ONE OF GODS GREATEST CREATIONS
YOUR SMILE WAS ALWAYS SO GENUINE AND TRUE
IT’S NO WONDER WHY SO MANY PEOPLE KNEW AND LOVED YOU
YOU WOULD HAVE GLADLY GIVEN THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK
EVEN TO A PERFECT STRANGER NOT KNOWING HOW THEY’D REACT
YOU SEE, THE BIGGEST CONCERN OF THIS AMAZING MAN
WAS TO LEND ANYONE WHO NEEDED IT, A HELPING HAND

As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
Know that I'm with you and will always be

Hold a hand, say a prayer,
Close your eyes and see me there.

Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
Please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.

My Love For You....

My love for you will last an aternity.
My hopes and dreams,
Now carried on the fragile wings
Of each butterfly passing,
Compelling me to pause,
To savour each moment,
Each flutter in my heart
Your wings.

We Remember You

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember you.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember you.
At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring,
We remember you. 

At the blueness of the skies and in the warms of summer,
We remember you.
At the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember you.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember you. 

As long as we live you too will live, for you are now a
part of us,
As we remember you.
As long as we live you too will live, for you are noe a
part of us,
Forever loved and remember.

FOR DAD
A keepsake, a heartache,
to cherish and hold,
of a handsome dad
more precious than gold.

No words, no verse
could ever convey
how much I miss you
more each day.

Whoever said feelings
were healed by time
could never have had
a dad more precious than mine.

Each night I shed a tear
as I speak to you in a prayer
to let you know I love you
and just how much I care.

Take a million of my tear drops,
wrap them up in love,
and ask the wind to carry them
to you in heaven above. 


























Gone but Not Forgotten
You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day, 

No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left, 

But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye, 

And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The house is empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise, 

And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
We will be missing you.






I WILL BE MISSING YOU

You were so full of life
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being part of it.
And I love you being a part of me.

You could make anyone laugh.
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.

Nothing could ever stop you,
Or even make you fall.
You were ready to take on the world.
Ready to do it all.

But God decided he needed you.
So from this world you left.
But you took a peace of all of us.
Our hearts are what you kept.

Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.

You left without a warning.
Not ever saying goodbye.
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why.

Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter.
But I know you are up in heaven,
Watching over an looking after us.

I didn't see it coming,
It hit me by surprise.
And when you left this world.
A small part of us died.


Your smile could brighten anyone's day.
No matter what they were going through.















Daddy, You taught us what love really is-
the true unconditional kind that has no boundaries space or time

You always had a smile- even when you were crying. Our tears
 we cry for you now are there to let you know how much we 
loved you. I never realized how deeply you were rooted in my 
heart until this day.

This day you left and moved on in your journey- we were left here to wonder, 
what did you know that the rest of us did not. How did you endure so much 
in your life and still always find a way to smile. 






























Memories

If we could have a lifetime with
A dream tht would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried....
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried....
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too....
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.

We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
All we have now are memories
And a picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God holds you in His arms
We hold you in our hearts.













              










  



        





Dear Daddy,
You were "My One & Only, My Dad"
since you passed I've been so very lonely

As time goes on, I still can't believe thar your gone.

Not only were you my Dad, but my best friend, always someone 
to lean on again and again.

For you've always been "My One & Only" and that still
true, perhaps thats why I will never be the same with out you.

Its so hard to go on, now that you're forever gone, but you're sending
me the strength to carry on. I hear your voice everyday, and 
to me it sound like a song.

I will see you again, when we meet at the gates of heaven,
There will never be another like you,
for that i know  is true, Which is why you will always be

"My One & Only, My Dad.








                                             








Daddy,
Life is not fair
I do not understand
I reach out for you
and want to hold your hand
My life is not any better, since you've been gone
I am trying daddy real hard to be strong
There is an emptiness inside of me that won't
go away. But my unconditional love for you is in
my heart to stay. I wish I had just one more day
there was so much more to say. Rest in Peace 
my Angel for I will always love you.













I Thought Of You

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and the day befor that too.
I think of you in silence, I often say your name,
But all I have is memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been, a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home















Wonderful Grandparents


























Daddy making his first communion











Death is nothing at all. 
I have only slipped away into the next room. 
I am I and you are you. 
Whatever we were to each other we still are. 
Call me by my old familiar name, 

speak to me in the easy way you always used to. 
Put no difference in your tone, 
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. 
Laugh as we always laughed at the jokes we enjoyed. 
Pray, smile and think of me. 
Let my name be ever the household word that 
it always was. 

Let it be spoken without effect and with no trace
 of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. 
It is the same as it ever was. 
Why should I be out of mind just because 
I am out of sight? I am waiting for you 
somewhere very near. I am just around the corner.












Missing You Dad

No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows,
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name, 

But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
 
I've never stopped missing you
I know I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many 

But mine & Jen's are worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say, 

But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, Dad,
And I always will.

What Makes A Dad

A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends. 

A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him 

deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!

Our Wonderful Dad



Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my grey skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you








































DAD

A Father Just Like You

I just wanted to let you know
You meant the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you've done
All the times you were there
Help me know deep inside
How much you really cared

Even though i might not have said
I appreciated all you've done
Richly blessed is how i feel
Having a Father just like you!

I LOVE & MISS YOU DAD!













The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a trip down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.


Remembering you is easy
We do it everyday,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away

We hold you tightly within our hearts
And there you will remain
Life has gone by without you,
But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their dad,
Treat him with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and he is not there. 























 

A fathers love

A father`s means so many things
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and support.
Right from the very start,
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.

With encouragement and forgiveness,
No matter what come your way,
A special generosity and always affection, too.
Then God combined these qualities
When there was nothing to more to add
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so .....

He called him DAD

HE WAS MY DAD

It's amazing how one person who brought me a thousands joys,
Left me shedding a thousand tears.
It was back when I played with toys,
And he was the knight in shining armor who chased away my fears.
I am now left wondering, why did it have to be you?
Why did goodbye have to be so soon?
I am left feeling like my life is through.

Why do we have to walk the moon,
To be closer to the sun?
These tears will never cease,
Though they have just begun.
I hate to say that your deceased,
But everyday I can only pray,
That I can celebrate life as a sun setting,
Because as they say,
The only real death is forgetting.

But now I know we will make amends,
And I will look forward to something that isn't sad,
We will be together in the end,
Just me and my dad

This Memorial website was created in the memory
of our loved one, Anthony Delpozzo who was born
on June 26, 1936 and passed away on April 09,
2006 at the young age of 69. Tony was a man
full of love, laughter and dedication. He will be
remembered for his sense of humor and his ongoing 

affection towards everyone he would meet.Tony was
family man with family values. He had a heart of gold,
and a smile that would light up a room. Tony enjoyed
cooking and fishing, to of his unfading passions. He
sang to the Tunes of Jimmy Roselli, Dean Martin and
Bobby Darren, and enjoyed sharing this music with his
grandchildren, who grew to love it, just as much as he
did. Tony took pride in every thing he did, he was a man
of steel, with hands of hard work and motivation. He left
behind a beautiful family who will never forget his loving
ways and relentless generousity. Tony will forever remain
the glue that holds the family together. He was an amazing
son who took care of his mother Florence for 26 years after 

his father had passed away. His wife Vera will always remember
the wonderful memories they shared for 47 years, and his three
children will carry on all the beautiful memories he gave to them
, and his nine grandchildren will never forget there number one
poppy.Anyone who knew Tony understands the blessing it was
to have had him in our lives, He was a miracle, and is an angel
among us. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and
makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and
brings peace to our minds, that is what he has given us. Live
every day smiling for Tony, Love for him and love because of
him,
and give to the heavens more then just one passing glance.
We will forever love and miss you Dad.











I WILL LOVE YOU

As long as I can dream,
As long as I can think,
As long I have memory...
I will love you

As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak...
I will love you.

As long as I have a heart to feel,
a soul stirring with in,
An imagination to hold you...
I will love you.

As long as there is time,
As long there is love,
As long as I have a breath
to speak your name...

Because I love you more than anything...
In all the world.








































I Miss My Dad

Behind the biggest storm clouds
the wind and all that rain
the sun shall rise above
and we shall smile again.
Although there is a huge hole 

an arrow through our hearts
with love and precious memories
we'll make a brand new start.
With the grace of a butterfly
an eagle flying high
The Lord has taken our precious Dad
way up into the sky. 

But with every forming rainbow
and every river bend
If we all smile together our hearts will start to mend.
So let's all smile together
our Dad to only please
and maybe with some time
the pain will start to ease...

A FATHER IS A PERSON WHO GOES TO WAR SOMETIMES
AND WOULD RUN THE OTHER WAY
EXCEPT THAT WAR IS PART OF HIS ONLY 
IMPORTANT JOB IN HIS LIFE, 
WHICH IS MAKING THE WORLD BETTER FOR HIS CHILDREN
THEN IT HAS BEEN FOR HIM

     














A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one 

of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart. 

And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you

FATHERS GROW OLDER FASTER THAN PEOPLE
BECAUSE THEY, IN OTHER WARS, HAVE
TO STAND AT THE TRAIN STATION AND WAVE
GOODBYE TO THE UNIFORM THAT CLIMBS
ONBOARD, AND WHILE MOTHERS CRY
WHERE IT SHOWS, FATHERS STAND
AND BEAM.....
OUTSIDE...AND DIE INSIDE

Dad a picture of you hangs on my wall.
Bringing you back, reminding us all, How great it was
 when you were here, Memories surface, so precious  
                          
and dear. A soul so beautiful, Loving  and kind, Time stands 
still as you float through my mind. We can see you happy,
 living out  your life, A Son, Husband, Father for life. Time 
resumes and reality stings, We continue our lives and whatever 
life may bring, I will never forget you, Dear Father of mine, I thought 
living without you, the sun would never shine. Your proved me
 wrong when you left, your memory didn't go, Your still here with me,
oh how was I to know. You only left in body, your spirit still goes strong, 
Daddy, always know in our hearts our love for you will always grow. 

               
                                                                          

My time has come,
so it's time for us to let go,
It hurts us both, I know.
But you don't need me with you now,
i'm not the one that makes you strong.
The strength you needed and thanked me for,
was inside you all along.

Heres my time to move on,
you helped me through sun and war,
you always said I was your guide,
but without you I never would have made it this far.

You'll be ok without me,
I'll keep watch over you from beyond the light.
So dont think youve lost me forever,
Im always alive in your dreams at night.

I promise i'll always carry you inside my heart,
and think of you till the day we meet again.
So dry your tears and smile for me,
despite the pain, this is not the end.

So say goodbye but not forever
because a bond like ours can
never be broken,
and please stay strong & remember me,
and be glad for all the feelings that don't need to be spoken.
We both know this day would come,
one day we'd have to part
but you, my Family, I'll always carry,
within a special place inside my heart

A FATHER IS A PERSON WHO IS FORCED TO 
ENDURE CHILDBIRTH WITHOUT AN 
ANESTHETIC. HE GROWLS WHEN HE FEELS GOOD AND 
LAUGHS VERY LOUD WHEN  HE IS SCARED HALF TO DEATH.
A FATHER NEVER FEELS ENTIRELY WORTHY OF 
THE WORSHIP IN A CHILDS EYES. HE IS NEVER
QUITE THE HERO HIS DAUGHTER THINKS...

NEVER QUITE THE MAN HIS SON BELIEVES HIM TO BE
AND THIS WORRIES HIM SOMETIMES. 
SO HE WORKS TOO HARD TO TRY TO SMOOTH THE ROUGH 
PLACES IN THE ROAD ON THOSE OF HIS OWN 
WHO WILL FOLLOW HIM.

WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generouse soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagles's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete,
and so, He called it....DAD




Father's Are Wonderful People

Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...

For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills...

And Father struggles daily
To live up to "his image"
As protector and provider
And "hero of the scrimmage"...

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,

But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be...

But he's so busy every day
In the gruelling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife...

But Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolades of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness... 

And like Our Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always on our side.

 Life Time Wish.

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you. 

A thousand words can't bring you back;
I know because I've tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
You left behind a broken heart
And happy memories too.

I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you. 







It's Lonely here with out you Dad, 
We miss you more each day, 
For life is not the same to us since you 
were called away. Your 
resting place we visit, place flowers there 
with care, But no one 
know's our heartache, when we turn to 
leave you there.

Every day will always be,
A day when, by us
You are remembered lovingly.
No day goes by throughout the year,
Without some thought
 
That brings you near.
Still missed, still loved
And very dear.
You walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard and always near
Within our heart you will remain,
Forever loved and never forgotten

A million times I've needed you,
A million times I've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You would have never died.

If all the world was mine to give,
I would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door.

To hear your voice and see your smile,
To sit and talk a while,
To be with you that same old way.
Would be my fondest day.

A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest,
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.

He was much loved by all who knew him.
He will be remembered forever.
Welcome to his site, Please light a candle

Softly the leaves of memory fall.
Gently I gather and treasure them all,
Unseen, unheard, you are always near,
STILL LOVED, still missed, so very dear.
No length of time can take away,
My thoughts of you from day to day,
Whatever else I fail to do,
I never fail to think of you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow,
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room,
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.

WATCHING FROM HEAVEN

I HAVE NOT TURNED MY BACK ON YOU
SO THERE'S NO NEED TO CRY;
I AM WATCHING YOU FROM HEAVEN
JUST BEYOND THE MORNING SKY;
I'VE SEEN YOU FALL APART
WHEN YOU COULD BARELY STAND;
I ASKED THE LORD TO COMFORT YOU 

AND WATCHED HIM TAKE YOUR HAND;
HE TOLD ME YOU WERE IN MORE PAIN
THAN I COULD EVER BE;
HE WIPED HIS EYES AND
SWALLOWED HARD
THEN GAVE YOUR HAND TO ME;
ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT FEEL MY TOUCH
OR SEE ME BY YOUR SIDE;
I WHISPERED THAT I LOVE YOU
WHILE I DRIED EACH TEAR THAT YOU CRIED

"St. Anthony"



No flowers
No words
No sympathies
will comfort you

You know me
You loved me
You touched me
You danced with me

My life on earth wasnot in vain
I know you
I loved you
I touched you
I danced with you

You will think of me
You will cry for me
You will remember me
In a rainbow above the city
On a park where we played
In a star so vibrant as my soul
and through the eyes of my
beloved you.

I rest in peace with you

I Still Feel Your Love

I know you’re gone from this earth
You left me way too soon But I
feel your love every time I gaze
up at the moon. Sometimes I 

think I hear A whisper in the wind
It sounds as if you’ve called my
name As your love to me you send.
Sometimes I do a silly thing And
your laughter fills my ears I know
you’re right here with me But I
can’t see you through my tears.
 
I felt your hand upon my shoulder
And I quickly turned to see Visible...
you were not But I know you’re
here with me. In the night you
sometime come To visit in my
dreams My hands go out to touch
you But you’re just out of reach it 

seems. For just a flash you appear
Standing close to me Is it just my
imagination Or is it really you I see.
Even though you’re gone from me
And you watch me from above

I long for you everyday…And I
still feel your love.










To the living, I am gone

To the sorrowful, I will never
return, To the angry, I was
cheated, but to the happy I
am at peace. And to the faithful 

i have never left. I can not speak
but I can listen, I can not be seen
but I can be heard, So as you stand
upon the shore Gazing at the sea
Remember me. As you look at 

all the trees. Remember me.
Remember me in your hearts,
In your thoughts And the memories
of all the times we loved. The
times we cried. And the times 

we laughed. for if you always
think of me , i will never
have gone.







Distance may separate us
But my heart will never let you go,
For I carry a part of you with me always.
It keeps me going through the day.
It brings a smile to my face
and tears to my eyes.
 
It is a part of my dreams that I live for and cherish.
That part is my wish, my only one,
To see you again soon.
I know that wish will someday come true.
But for now, I will hold in my heart
The memory of you
And never let you go.

I Thought Of You

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and the day befor that too.
I think of you in silence, I often say your name,
But all I have is memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been, a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

When You See a Butterfly...

When you see a butterfly,
Think of me.
When you see a shadow,
Don't be afraid.
When you see a light,
Think of good things.
But, when you see a butterfly,
Think of me.

When you see a cloud,
Don't be afraid to try and grab it.
When you see a raindrop,
Open your mouth,
Let it fall in.
When you feel a hand touch you,
Don't jump away.
When you get all tingley,
Let the feeling last.
When you feel loved,
Cherish it forever.
But, when you see a butterfly,
Think of me.

When you feel like you've lost your way,
Remember I am there to guide you.
When you feel like no one is there,
Make sure you know I am.
When you feel like I am gone forever,
Make sure you feel like I am there.
When you think you've grieved too much,
I know there's always another tear.
But when you see a butterfly,
Think of me.

For you know that I am always with you,
In every way, shape & form.
I am always there to protect you,
Even through dangerous storms.
Know that I am right behind you,
In whatever fate decides to put you through.
For I may be gone, 

But I am around.
So when you see a butterfly,
Know I'm always there right next to you

On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked a lot of why?? 

with people all around me
I felt alone inside
from all their words of confort,
I could't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
that I'd wake and find you here, 

I thought "this can't be happening".
as I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
my heart broke yet again.
I wondered if the pain will end,
but mostly, I wondered when?? 

I's hard to be without you,
at times the day seems long,
sometimes I just sit crying
when there is nothing wrong.
I wish I had more time
before your life was done,
I hope your resting peacefully.
My precious one.











Someone new has entered
our eternal home above.

The Heavenly Gate has opened wide
to welcome the one we love
We cannot help the tears that fall
our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended
and our loved one has to leave.

Yet even in the saddest time
we know our Savior lives
and we can trust completely
in the promise that He gives

That in a glad reunion with the Lord
our loved ones wait to welcome us in joy
with no more tears beyond the gate.

On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."

But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,

Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious one



 

If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true.
We'd pray to God with all our heart
For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried.
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we cried.

You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too.
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.


I Miss You So
Though you are not here
wherever I go or whatever I do
I see your face in my mind
and I miss you so
I miss telling you everything
I miss showing you things 

I miss your eyes.
I don't like missing you
It is a very cold and
lonely feeling
I wish I could see you right now
But since I can't, I will have
to be content just dreaming
about when we'll be together
again....











It's been a year since I had to leave
God said it was my time to go.
I miss you all so very much
And I needed you all to know.

Heaven is a beautiful place
With a view that soothes the soul.
All the angels have jobs to do
And daddy angel is my role.

For though you may not see me
My job I still have to do.
Being a good daddy angel
By watching over you

As this year comes to a close
When God called me away
Remember all the fun we had
And will again someday.

Love and memories do not die
They live within your heart.
By keeping them locked away
We are never really far apart.

I am here...
Deep within your heart that yearns.
I am here...
I'm the flame that softly burns
and lights your way;
in the darkness of the night
I will be your shining light...
I am here...



I am here...
In the misty morning dew.
I am here...
Standing closely beside you.
I'll hold your hand...
Let you feel a quiet peace,
I will be your sweet release.
I am here...



I am here...
In a haunting melody...
I am here...
I will be that memory
that gives you strength,
when days are long
You'll carry on...
I am here...



I am here...
As long as you do not forget,
I am here...
In your heart, I know, and yet...
It's here I'll stay,
I'll never go, That I am here...







No Words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
and photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow, 

No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I will never stop loving you
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so,
And I always will!!

We miss you so much Daddy.
The faith that you instilled in us
is where our faith helps to keep us going.
You will never be forgotten. We love you!



I found a penny today
just laying on the ground
But it is not just a penny
this little coin I've found...

Found pennies come from Heaven
that's what Daddy once told me
He said Angels toss them down
oh, how I loved that story...

He said when an Angel misses you
they toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
and make a smile out of your frown...

So don't pass by that penny
when you are feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
that an Angel has tossed to you
