January 12, 1946 - January 27, 2006
Your hands were strong yet gentle as you held us in your care,
You taught us by example everyday,
No matter what we needed, always you were there,
Without a doubt we knew you’d show the way.
We meant the world to you and you to us,
Which is why it was so hard to say goodbye,
Your leaving left an emptiness deep inside our hearts
And some days it seems our tears will never dry.
For though you gave us everything you ever had to give
And taught us almost everything we’d ever need to know,
It simply seemed somehow you always would be there,
For we simply never learned how to let you go.
Loving you always, forgetting you never, Lina, Ivo, Andreja, Laura, Tony, AJ, Martino, Nicholas and Joey xoxoxoxo
