My sincerest condolences. He was a distant part of a family I know little about. I had only meet him one time. It was after a long time search for my dad Bernie Pemberton his brother. Wish I have lived closer to have been able to know him better. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Bernard (Douglas Pemberton) and Julie Brannon

Deepest Sympathy to all. Heres a little poem I found,I hope you find comfort in it.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Aurthor: unknown

God Bless you all!
