We want to tell you Daddy
How much that you are loved
How we count our blessings every day
And thank the Lord above
- 6% Year G
Your love for God and family
Shows in everything you do
This can’t be said of many men
But it can be said of you
For He gave to you a second chance
But the gift was ours tod
You’re the rock of our foundation
And your children all, need you
We depend on you for everything
And often fail to say
How. much you mean to all of us
So we’re saying it today.
Through the years we’ve watched you
struggle
Often tested much like Job
But your faith - it rarely faltered
Through the highs and through the lows
To Mom:
We know this is Daddy’s special day
But we know this to be true
All the words we spoke above
We also say to you!!!!!!!
*/ G tnniuertary
We love you both,
Gary - Bev - Pat
Lynn - Shelly - Jon - Melanie
