Papa is gone home
to be with Nana now.
That’s what he wanted,
no more frowns.
After fifty-nine years here
of life shared together
they’ve gone home to God
to live in peace forever.

We’ll miss their presence
here in East Bay,
the blue truck on the road
movin’ slowly on its way.
Family traditions
of sharing great meals
are the next generations
now to make real.

Many tender memories
pass through our minds
as we fondly reminisce
of Papa and Nana at this time.
We pause to give thanks
for the life we shared
trusting God welcomes them
into heavenly care.

Gone home to God on November 11, 2001.
