    Tribute to the Best Dad in the World

    Dad believed prayer is one of the best gifts we can


    receive. As a tribute to dad, our gift to family and
    friends, on behalf of dad, is a small poem we hope
    will help you to begin to find a new way to deal with
    those rough days along the way.
    A.S.A.P. (Ever wonder about the abbreviation?)

    Theres work to do, deadlines to meet; youve got no


    time to spare, But as you hurry and scurry ASAP- ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    In the midst of family chaos, Quality time is rare.


    Do your best; let GOD do the rest ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    It may seem like your worries are more than you


    can bear. Slow down and take a breather ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    God knows how stressful life is; He wants to ease


    our cares, And Hell respond to all your needs ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    Tribute from Grandchildren


    and Great Grandchildren

    PR

    On behalf of dad, we leave friends and family


    with some emergency phone numbers that
    are more effective than 911 that granddad
    shared with us. If
    You are alone and scared,
    phone Psalm 23
    You feel like an outcast,
    phone Romans 8:31-39

    It feels as if the world is bigger than GOD,


    phone Psalm 90
    You are seeking peace,
    phone Matthew 11:25-30

    Pauls secret for happiness,


    phone Colossians 3:12-17
