I am so very sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed but I also know heaven is much better than here.  We will be able to see him again and it will be a happy reunion.

God saw you getting tired
 and a cure was not to be
 so he put his arms around you
 and whispered,
 "Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
 and saw you pass away
 and although we love you dearly
 we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
 hard working hands at rest.
 God broke our hearts to prove to us
 He only takes the best

Dad, We want to thank you for all the love you gave us. Please rest in peace, because as long as we believe in Jesus and his steadfast love we will be alright. We may not ever understand why God called you home so soon, but we can always trust his heart.
 You will always be in our hearts...
Love You Dad
