Expressions of sympathy www.obriensullivanfuneralhome.com

He never failed to do his best
His heart was true and tender.
He toiled hard for those he loved
And left them to remember.

A loving father kind and true.
His equals on this earth are few.
A happy life, a peaceful end –
He died as he lived,
Everybody's friend.

If we had this world to give,
We would give it and more
To see our darling Father
Come smiling through the door.
Those who have a father
Should tend him with care.
For you never know his value
Till you see his vacant chair.
