Dad

William Arthur
"Bud"

January 18, 1918 - November 17, 2011


Farewell
Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
to all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
and they shall cheer and comfort me.

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
and men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.

Anne Bronte
1820-1849


"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort..."

2 Corinthians 1:3
