Many thanks to Marshall for providing a serene place for dad to fish. It was his favorite place to be. Also thank you to the great neighbors, Steve and Micki for all the help. The family would also like to thank the staff at Dr. Carlson's office who were very caring to Bill.
Fisherman's Prayer
God grant that I may live to fish
Until my dying day
And when it comes to my last
Cast I then must humbly pray.
When in the Lord's safe landing net
I'm peacefully asleep
That in his mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.
