Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Gerry, I tried to write a " condolence " on your dad's funeral home web page, but words fail me. I believe that the spirits of our loved ones continue to smile back at us. When your energy starts rebounding and you share some quality " time " , your dad may share in the pleasure. Dann > MessageHere is my Dad's obituary that will appeared in the News Journal today, which I wrote. I tried to make it speical as I could because he was a very speical person. His picture was also included. My Mother originally did not want his picture, but my Dad was soooo handsome that I had to show him to the world. When my Mom saw the obit. she was very happy with it particularaly the picture. > > I cry easily, but I am doing okay..Just really tired. We bury him in the morining.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Good morning Gerry- Thank you for sharing your father's obituary with us. I will keep extra prayers going up today as you start the services to honor your dad. I, too, have a funeral to go to this week, on Friday. My dear friend of 29 years' mother passed away this week. Breaks my heart for her and her family. Truly Gerry, my heart is there with you during this time. With hugs- Sandie -- Re: Fw: Obituary Hi Gerry So sorry to hear that your dearest dad has passed on, he was so lucky that he had such wonderful support from you and your family. We will be thinking of you all, kindest wishes and love from the gordons at Te Rangiita, Taupo, New Zealand.
