"It is your quiet gentle nature, your inspiring words and encouragement, your ability to make everything alright again and to draw everybody near Your candour and strength, your unconditional love, your ability to infuse calm where there would otherwise be strife, which make you a true man of peace It is your meticulous nature, your purpose and drive... Your amazing capacity to forgive, your soft reassuring smile, it is your selflessness and amazing charm that brought joy to everyone To many you were a source of knowledge and hope, to others perhaps a cause to cheer,but to me you will always be far more: You are the one I hold most dear With a heart so warm and with shoes so big, how could I even hope to find another who ... would make my life complete? ... I thank God for the time we've had. The things you taught me, and the knowledge that you are at rest, will be my source of strength It is a much cherished honour and privilege to be your only daughter. I will miss you dreadfully but I will never forget the wonderful life we shared My dearest Daddy, it is with a very heavy heart, but with the utmost gratitude to God..., that I bid you... "Adieu!! As you rest in the bosom of the Lord""
