Remember his beautiful laugh, his soft touch, his helpful nature. Our Fathers Shoes We remember our father's shoes. They seemed to us as children, terribly big and heavy, As though they had to match the size and weight of his responsibilities. We remember seeing the sole worn clear through, And a strange thought comes along with the memory. If we had held that shoe up and looked through that hole We could have glimpsed, perhaps, Something of our father's own soul, the courage that Let him stand for what he believed in, the strength in Which he carried himself; and in some sense carried us, Every step of the way. It seems you've spent a lifetime Looking out for your family, working hard, Being responsible and always trying to do the right thing. And just in case you've ever wondered If it was appreciated, it always has been and it always Will be more than words could ever say. You'll be forever in our hearts, - Love your children. At Shawn's request, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Shawn's memory to an RESP for his children that will be set up at a later date. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
