We went to a rosary for a good family friend, whose father passed away.. While we were there we received small cards with a Saint on the front and poem on the back.. I wanted to share the poem

When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only my smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I've had lots of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day, then forgot to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay, and come in the evening when the sun pains the sky in the west, stand for a moment beside me and remember only my best!!

Your family will greatly miss you Fred!
Rest safely in God's lovings arms and tell your son Greg hello from me:)





Happy Weekend my friends:)
We are headed to visit the in-laws all weekend:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE:)
