In loving memory of our dad, grandpa and pap pap, Kenneth E. Hankey.

They say there is a reason

They say that time will heal

But neither time nor reason

Will change the way we feel

For no one knows the heartache

That lies behind our smiles.

No one knows how many times

We've broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something

So there won't be any doubt.

You're so wonderful to think of

But so hard to live without

We cannot bring the old days back

When we were all together.

The family chain is broken now

But memories live forever.
