Celebration of Life

90 Years of Life

Have carried you so far

With a strong foundation, and good name

You have become who you are

A Loving Son, Soldier, and

Husband along the way

To a wonderful Father, Grandfather

And even Great Grandfather today

A long and wonderful Life

That spanned so many years Filled with Happiness & Laughter

As well as times of Sadness & Tears

No matter what happened

Or how things went wrong

You were always an Inspiration

Because you remained True & Strong

Your body may have grown old

But your spirit never will

You were loved throughout this time &

Because of who you are we love you still.
