Poetic tribute by Delora Reinhardt

Tribute to My Spiritual Earthly Father,

Dear Precious Spiritual Father who was sent from God,
How I thank-you for your earthly Fatherly love.

You have been there for me through thick and thin.
And helped me to liberty in Christ, and how to spiritually win.

Through stories, laughter, and some giggles too,
Your affirmation was felt thru and thru.

Our lives have been filled with joys and tears.
How we have grown through the many years.

You were not perfect, you were a human man.
How I appreciated how you listened and tried to understand.

Thanks for being that vessel for me, to receive God's love,
He found you worthy to give gifts from above.

I know you are on a difficult path that is hard to see,
may you stay close to Jesus Christ, who will help you rest and "Be".

I have commanded angels to watch you thru this journey's end,
God says he will be faithful to you, because you are a faithful and true
friend.

You left a legacy that we feel privileged to carry on,
so there needs to be no more worry when you are gone.

Rest and know that you fought the battle and had a good fight,
and the peace to know that you depended on the Holy Spirit's might!

Say hi to the Trinity, and to the Saints, and Edna too,
as you enter heaven's gates, and will no longer be blue.

I bid you to cheer us on with the heavenly choir,
as our time gets near in this final hour.

This tribute is to you, oh blessed one,
To say how I love you, for all that you have done!!

Love,
Delora Reinhardt
