My Dad, My Angel
 
Â© David Wayne Hillis your son
 
Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek,
no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak.
I still do not understand why this had to happen to you,
but I am proud to say you are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew.
Although you will not be here to walk me down the aisle,
when that day comes I know you will be by my side with a smile.
You were always there for me and never once made me cry,
until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye.
Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide,
please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry.
Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast,
But the most precious thing to me was you being there for my first breath,
and me being there for your last.

If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.

I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be.

The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.

If I only had five minutes, 
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.

But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it, 
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.


I will always remember you as the best man that i ever knew...David Hillis Stanley your son

Grandpa, I will miss you dearly, but take comfort that you are in heaven watching over us.  Give Grandma, Thomasilly, Fuzz, and Chloe a hug from me :) 
You will always be in my heart as an honest, hard working, loving man, Love you Grandpa!

May the roads rise to meet you, 
May the wind be always at your back, 
May the sun shine warm upon your face, 
The rain fall soft upon your fields
 And, until we meet again, 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
God Bless you Marvin and your family left behind.  I pray for peace and great memories to flow of this great man...
Love, 
Johnny, Sheri and Ashlee

Mr. Marvin I am so blessed to have known and loved you!  I still laugh thinking about all the fun we had when you and Diane evacuated to Austin to stay with me!  Have a blast in heaven and I will see you again one day:). 
Love,
Sissy Bethea

Marvin you will be missed dearly. You were a great father in law, father, grandfather, patriot and just a great man in general. People like you don't come along often in peoples lives and I am so grateful to have had you in mine. Please look over your family from above and continue to help them make good choices. Love you and will miss you.
