In loving memory of my FIL ~ Tyler ~ gone 20yrs today

You've been gone 20yrs today, and although I never had the pleasure of meeting you I feel as though i have known you all my life, in marrying your son you have given me all I could ever ask for and I see so much of you in Jeff in pictures, I always tell him he looks just like his daddy... He talks about you often and misses you so much...he was only 23yrs old when you passed away...We put a little something in memory of you in the paper today...but words cannot express how much you are deeply missed....I wanted to add the video to "Daddy's hands"  cause it fits you and your children so well...the stories I have been told.....they will always remember the love in their daddy's hands...

         Gone but never forgotten

         

Forever in Our Hearts

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon
This earth and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
He then took you up to Heaven with
Hands gentle and so kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you Home.
