    In the words of Albert Einstein,
    “Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children
    and the younger generation. For they are us. Our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life”.
    Your father is alive in all of you.
    Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Cherish your memories and share them, to honour your dad.
