God Speed Sailor

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner

Another Veteran has fallen

 Not by a weapon of war, but from the enemy called cancer.  He fought hard and long, but the foe was relentless.  It may have stolen the body, but not the soul.

 Another son has been taken

 But he now is a better place, where his mother and dad have been waiting.  He may be just now fishing, where the big fish never get away.  There is a smile on his face and joy in his heart.

 A Husband has passed on.                                     

 But he is setting a table for two, when his bride meets with him again. 

 

And a son has lost a father.

 God speed to you sailor, you are in good hands now.

 

 

This is a tribute to my father, Eugene Terry who passed last night at the age of 83 .  He bravely handled much in his life, from the great depression to severe health problems,  He will be missed.

 

And to the staff and other caring people at the Winston Salem Hospice, my family and I greatly appreciate your loving care for us all.   Thank you.
