A Beautiful Soul
A generous heart, and a lifetime of kindness.
Forever loved, deeply missed and never forgotten.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want
With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend.
While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the precious memories he left with us.
