The Sorrow we feel

No words can explain

The ache in our hearts

will always remain

There is a special Husband, Father

Brother, Uncle and Papa

Up there in Heaven above

There will never be another

with a heart so full of love

wherever we go

whatever we do

Those we love don’t go away

they walk beside us everyday

Unseen, unheard but always near

Stilled loved and missed and very dear

You shared a kind word, a hug, sent cards or flowers,

and honored the memory of my dear Husband, Father,

Brother, Uncle and Papa, the Family would like to

thank you for your

kind expressions of sympathy and thoughtfulness.

It is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered.

God Bless You

Family of Eldon W. Enjady Jr.
