A few lines from memorial poem "Your Dreams Were All

For Us Dad":

"Your dreams were all for us Dad, all for us

You traded your own dreams to purchase ours

Willing to accept lesser opportunities

So that we would have every opportunity

Every possibility

Every chance for a good education

Every security and confidence

Everything!

And our dreams became your hopes and aspirations

We knew that we were never alone in our dreams

For you were right there with us

You didn't mind if you didn't get the best education

As long as we were afforded that opportunity

It didn't matter if your work wasn't what you had hoped for

As long as it gave us the means to create our own futures

You willingly accepted all those hours away from us, working long and hard..."

further along in the poem:

..."We have a life that was paid for in advance

Through the difficult and dedicated efforts of a loving father

Who traded the best years of his own life

To make sure we'd have the best years of ours

Dad, you will never be forgotten!

Your love and sacrifice will never leave us..."
