In remembrance of Roy; Janet, Natalie & Matthew would like to share the following poem - You can shed tears that he is gone Or you can smile because he 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 be happy for 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 turn your back, Or you can do what he would want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. David Harkins

A poem chosen by Roy's children, Natalie and Matthew - Life Lessons You may have thought we didn't see, Or that we hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to us, But we got every word. Perhaps you thought we missed it all, And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, we picked up everything, It's written on our hearts. Without you, Dad, we wouldn't be The people we are today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. We've grown up with your values, And we're very glad we did; So here's to you, dear father, From your forever grateful kids. Joanna Fuchs

A poem, chosen by Roy's wife Janet, which expresses just how much Roy was loved - Husband Some say time is a healer But I cannot deny I feel my heart is broken No matter how I try Life's not the same without you And it will never be I have lost my soulmate You're no longer here with me It's not fair, it was too soon You had more live to live You were my world my everything You had much more to give And you know, I still love you so And now you've gone away I will not forget you No matter come what may....
