In Loving Memory of Dad He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there... A firm foundation Through all our storms in life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings The man that we called Dad.

Poem Deja Pegram Until We Meet Again You left this world so suddenly, But your soul is now at peace. Free from pain and worry, In a place of sweet release. We cannot see you with our eyes, But we feel you in our hearts. In every prayer, in every memory, You are never far apart. The Lord has wrapped you in His arms, And carried you above. Surrounded now by light and grace, And everlasting love. Until we meet again one day, Beyond the skies so blue, We’ll hold onto God’s promise, And find our strength in you. Forever loved.
