In Memoriam
In loving memory of my Daddy, Averitt (Abe) Oglesby, and PaPa Who departed this life Sept. 18, 2006

A Father/Daughter Love
"Goodbye Daddy"
My Last Goodbye
The life you gave me cannot be explained.
The experiences, happiness, sorrow, joy and the pain,
The memories can't be erased in my mind.
The love I have for you forever frozen in time.
A little angel forever in your eyes,
The wind beneath my wings…you gave me strength to fly.
One who wiped away my tears when I felt pain,
One who I could run to when the world seemed insane.
In your arms I felt safe and secure,
Showing me that you loved me and that there is no problem
that can't be cured.
That summer day you left me, my life seemed to end.
I felt lonely, helpless and empty…wasn't sure that my heart
would ever mend.
Just as easily as I came into your life, you swiftly left mine.
No goodbye's, I love you's. You had no time.
It's hard down here without you, but I have to be strong.
That's what you want, no tears, no sorrow, for me to live on.
I'll do my best to make you proud of me.
I just wish that you were alive…here with me,
Throughout life's challenges, I feel you with me every step of
the way,
To guide me and help me make it through the day.
I know I will see you again, because goodbye's aren't forever.
The bond we have can't be broken, not now, not ever.
I hope you like heaven, Daddy. I hope you have a clear view of
me from up above,
I love you and I miss you ... our Father/Daughter love, Darlene
Granddaughter, Jennifer
