Dad, The tide recedes but it leaves behind bright seashells on the sand, The sun sets, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land, The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains....For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. Even though you have gone, You have left the wonderful memories that we all have of you! Those memories are the most wonderful treasure we have. We Love You, Howard, Nan, Nick and Troy
