we rejoiced.

You left us, but were there in spirit, celebrating with us,
laughing through the tears. Your no nonsense thwack on the
head approach to life guides us. Your ability to confront
problems, solve them and move on, challenges us daily to d o
the same. We miss you, but know you watch over us, and
delight with us in the little joys of life that always put a smile
on your face. We raise a toast of cruzan rum cream to you,
think of you and miss you with all our hearts.
