In memory of my Dad.
If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving Father,
Who had a heart of gold
I could write a million pages
But still be unable to say
just how much I love and will miss you
Every single day.
I will remember all you taught me
I’m hurt but won’t be sad
Because you’ll send me down the answer
And you’ll always be my Dad.
Love you forever.
To The Manera Family Our thoughts are with you at this sad time
To Heather, Lorraine, Graeme and family. A real gentleman with a zest for life.
