Days have turned to weeks, months and finally a year since you quietly flew away with the winds.

Even though we no longer glow in your radiant smile nor burst in your pearls of laughter yet your fond memories remain our keeper.

Forever missed by your family, relatives and friends.

Fifth Anniversary Celebration

Saluting the man who built our past, nourished our present, loved us unconditionally and blessed our future.

In Loving Memory of Nicholas whose 5th Anniversary occurs today. Sadly missed and always remembered by your loving family.

God called your name so softly,

That only you could hear,

And no one heard the footsteps,

Of the Angels drawing near,

The golden gates stood open,

God saw you needed rest,

His garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.
