In Loving Memory of

Jack Colburn

It is Christmas Day, now -- only 13 days since you passed on and the 1st Holiday we will have to spend without you. You are so missed and so loved, dad. I hope you knew that. You were truly special and unique. I wish so much that I could have just one more day with you. I want so much to tell you all the things in my heart and then just sit and listen to you tell stories -- any story as long as I could just hear your voice again. Your funeral was beautiful and everyone was there. I did your eulogy and made them all laugh and made them all cry. It came out wonderful and was so easy since all I had to do was tell the truth. Oh how I did not want you to ever have to leave us! None of us did! But, oh what a wonderful life you lived and what things you taught us all! I pray that I can live to be as good as you thought I was and even 1/4 the person that you were. You are in God's hands now and I am so happy for that. Maybe he can find some time for you 2 to go fishing, huh? If he doesn't already know, you might show him your trick for getting your line un-hung. Oh, Dad, there is so much I want to say! Please look into my heart and hear all the words and feel all the love that is there. I love you and miss you forever.

Until we meet again. With all my love, Lisa
