I wrote this 7 years ago when my dad passed away...
I will post it here.
A Poem of Remembrance
Remember me for I am gone, but not from your thoughts
Or prayers,
Spill now the tears for a while, they cleanse the soul
And bring hope for the new day,
My thoughts and deeds are best remembered for me, as are
My thoughts of you,
Words alone do not mark our lives in the present but in the days to
Come as well,
Remember me as your day’s journey begins and ends, but fear not for
I am watching,
I await our reunion, and the days thereafter. Until then live as I have lived and remember me.

I've spoken to John on occasion about transom assemblies, drives and boats in general. He is one of the good guys, especially here in South Florida. Always has something nice to say with a great positive attitude and not a shred of selfishness. Its guys like John that make this community what it is.
I cant even pretend to understand your loss but I wish you sincere condolences and prayers. God Bless.

John, your advice is perfect timing. I was reading that post as my wife was nagging at me to get off the computer and come downstairs for lunch. That one line changed it to sounding like music! Seems like your advice to me is always well timed, thank you.
Do get out on the ocean, best wishes.
