In Memoriam

STEWART, Dave:
10.8.2021
One year has now passed since you lost the battle. Best friends seem inseparable but sometimes it is inevitable.
The fish have stopped biting,
The ducks are flying high
And the whiskey bottle is untouched.
There are special people in our lives who never leave us after they have gone and you are one of them Dave.
You are missed my friend and constantly in my thoughts.
Rodney Harris
