Drummond -- Robert E. Drummond, JR. June 1, 1935 - September 29, 1998The love and light of my life; You brought me happiness even in strife. I thought you hung the sun, stars and moon; You were taken away far too soon!All of the kids, (Doug, Robin, Missy, Laurie, Eric, and Sheila) Were our blessings in disguise Because they helped us see the world Through their eyes.They, in turn, gave us grandbabies to love. Even though you don't know them all, We teach them that you're watching over them from above.Without the kids, grandkids, and Enie & Bill I'm not sure I could go on; I wouldn't have the will.We miss you as much as yesterday, And know you're only a dream away. Please rest in peace, dear man, We'll see you again when our time is at hand.Jeanie
