Dad,
You will be missed. Your jokes with the waitresses, the way you loved your grandkids, and your love of sweets like me. 
I am glad you are resting now, and flirting with the Angels in heaven. 
Love you.

I have so many memories of David.  He was always one of my favorite cousins, I love you and will miss you forever, till we meet again your always in my heart.

This song reminds me of the 2 of us in so many ways. I should have spent more time with my dad especially the last 12 months. I love him and will miss him so much until we meet again in heaven. I love you dad you were the best!!!  



My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you

My loving father, I miss & love you so much, words can't explain what you meant to me.  The 52yrs. that I had you, wasn't nearly enough. your loving daughter.


U left us way2 early, pops. Thanks 4 the 34yrs. I had with u as ur son-in-law.
R.I.P. Dave
