To our dad whom is terribly missed and loved;
If I could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told;
Of a kind and loving Father who had a heart of gold.
I could write a million pages, but still be unable to say;
Just how much We Love and miss him every single day.
We will remember all he taught us.
I'm hurt but won't be sad, because he’ll send me down the answers,
and he’ll always be our Dad.
I can’t believe I'm standing here saying my Goodbyes,
to a Father that meant the world to us, our father, our safe place.
Anyone who loved him will know how we feel today.
Our father was the rock of our lives, who could light up the darkest days.
So goodbye Father, our only father, take your wings and fly.
To eternal happiness and your reward, through the big gates in the sky.
Cremation has taken place and a memorial service to celebrate Chris’ life will take place at a future date.
