In loving memory of the father of my only son.
You are forever in my heart, never far from my thoughts.
Need only to see our handsome son
to know that I will
ALWAYS
have a part of you in him.
Although many years have faded into the past,
the love I have for you
still burns within my soul...
Vaya con Dios
My Love
Until we meet again
