Gary’s Life Story
Lisa’s tribute song, dedicated to her Dad
“Butterfly fly away” – Hannah Montana
“The clock of life”
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no one has the power,
To tell just where the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.
To lose ones wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss,
As no one can restore.
The present only is our own,
Live, love, toil with a will,
Place no faith in tomorrow,
For the clock may then be still.
Open time for tributes
