Although I never had the
Although I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Dunlap, I know from Tim and Lisa that he was a wonderful man and a very important person to them.
I'm glad that they were able to be near him these last few years as I know how important family is to Lisa and Tim.
Our thoughts are with the family at this time.

YOUR DAD…….. So many
YOUR DAD……..
So many memories,
So many stories……..
Some make us chuckle.
Some make us cry.
All make us family.
Your family lost someone special
when you lost your dad.
There’s going to be an empty
place in all our hearts,
and it’s hard to imagine
what life would be like
from now on.
We’re going to need each other
as never before.
Let’s stay close the way we’ve
always been.
The way family is meant
to be.

JUST A MEMORY AWAY I’m no
JUST A MEMORY AWAY
I’m no longer by your side,
but there’s no need to weep;
I’ve left sweet recollections,
I’m hoping you will keep.
Eternal joy and memories
stay in our hearts forever,
strengthening our special bond
that parting cannot server.
Now it’s time to journey on,
so let your strength be strong,
For I am in a better place…….
I’m home where I belong.
But, still, if times of loneliness
bring sorrow and dismay,
Don’t despair, for I am there……
JUST A MEMORY AWAY
