Patty, I am so sorry about your dad. You and your family are in my prayers. Be assured that God is with you in this difficult time. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you here.
My Dearest Nana,
Words can’t expressed how empty our lives are going to be without our beloved Pa. I will miss everything about him, from his stories to him falling asleep on the couch. To our RV road trips to the fishing trips. Those last few days that I spent with Pa will forever be in my heart❤️
Love
Lyndsai
I’m so blessed to have known Orville (Pa). The love and support he has passed on to his grandson, his wife of 65 years, and his entire family is something very special and amazing to witness. My heart goes out to the entire family, especially Ruth (Nanna). ❤️
Thank you Pa. You will always be remembered!
To My Dearest Pa,
We thought of you with Love today,
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our heart
To My Dearest Pa,
Those special memories of you
Will always bring a smile.
If only I could bring you back
For just a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again
Just like we used to do.
You always meant so much to me
And always will
The fact that you are no longer here
Will always cause me great pain
But you are forever in my heart
Until we meet again, Pa
I will love you always and forever
