DAD Our dad, a man of strength, with work that never seems to end; Yet gentle when you hold a babe or help a heart to mend. An honest man, you try each day your best in all to do. Through good or bad you’re by our side; yes, friends like you are few. We know the times you gave to us and wore the same old shoes; The times you taught that each of us has games to win and lose. We think of God and sometimes, Dad, we clearly see your face. While we’re on earth, our Father God sent you to take His place. A private Funeral Mass will be held at St. Ignatius Church. Memorials may be made to St. Ignatius Church or the Humane Society.
