You'll never know what biting pain ate slowly through my heart when openi ng the gifts you sent I read upon the cards The names of those I've oft ti me met but never really knew, I never understood the things that they we re trying to do.
It's almost sad to realize it took me all these years.
To open up my simple eyes and find them full of tears, And suddenly to und erstand just what it means to be a member of this wonderful Verbruggen fam ily.
written by Bill God needed a good carpenter so he called on Dad. We will g reatly miss you but will always keep the "good times" close to our heart s. We love and miss you.
