To my friends Dale, Bobby, and the extended family,
Our deepest condolences for your loss. While we did not know Walter personally, we know you, Dale, the amazing daughter he raised, and I am sure was very proud of.
A few thoughts through this poem, helped me though a similar experience...
GO ON...
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can look forward to tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and shut down,
Or you can do what he would want...
Smile, open your eyes, love, and go on.
With sympathy and love,
Janice & Franck
