"You are not forgotten Loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee
We will miss you now, our hearts are sore
As time goes by we will miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can take your vacant place."
Ken, Brother, Dad, Grandfather, Uncle, Cousin, Friend
