Thank you and Merry Christmas from the Dorough Family

The Holidays are a time to reflect and give thanks,
and to apologize for our shortfalls, to be very frank.

After the loss of my father, life hasn’t been the same.
Although our lives continue, they continue with much pain.

I know it is late, six months to be exact,
since the day my father left us, as a matter of fact.

But it’s time to acknowledge, the kindness you expressed
during our days of mourning, when we were most depressed.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat upon a chair.
Perhaps you sent us beautiful flowers. If so, we saw them there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts,
we thank you sincerely, for whatever your part.

Life will go on with one member less,
but through your love & kindness, we know that we are blessed.

The photo I’ve enclosed, is from Christmas of last year.
A day we’ll always remember, filled with laughter and cheer.

Thanks again and may God bless you always.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FROM THE FAMILY OF (the late) HOKE D. DOROUGH
