    Deepest sympathy to your family. Your dad was a very sweet man..knew him years ago when we all hung out as kids, then more recent from working in the medical world.

    Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the worldly existence we know, Somewhere a path stretches over the stars, and rivers of memories flow… Somewhere a silence is heard far away and the brightness of day fills the night, Where the trials of life are resolved into peace when a soul finds its way to the light. May it comfort you to know that your loved one is now at peace.

    We shall meet, but we shall miss him, There will be the vacant chair, But though we no more possess him, Still our hearts his memory bear.
    But a while ago we gathered, Friendship beaming in each eye, Now the golden cord is severed, He has passed to realms on high.
    His virtues are written upon the tablets of love and memory.
    Sorry for your loss. We had such good times with Jay and Sue.
