When we think of our Dad Our hearts fill with love Even though he’s not with us We know he’ll guide us from above We’ll always have great memories To cherish through the years He’d want us all to smile And wipe away the tears He’d want us all to think about The good times that we shared And to always love each other And remember how much he cared For his family meant the world to him We were the sunshine in his life From his kids to great-grandchildren But most importantly his wife The fondest memories we all have Is his sparkling eyes and crooked grin The laughter he created That seemed to flow from him Dad loved to sing and dance And enjoy life to the max He tried to play the violin Thank God we didn’t have a sax Dad always loved his animals From Daisy to old Chief He even liked old Flash Although he caused him lots of grief Dad was always there for us Any time of the day or night And we knew if we would listen It would always turn out right Dad always liked a challenge And never backed away He went about his work In a calm and quiet way Dad could always make us laugh And brighten the darkest day And make us all feel better In his own special way The angels who will hold him In heaven up above Have just received a special gift Our greatest love Written by daughters Vicky and Cindy The family of the late Victor Kissick wish to thank everyone for their many acts of sympathy by way of cards, flowers, donations, food and companionship.
