ALBERT DEISTING
Any man can be a father,
But it’s different when he’s your Dad.
He’s with you through thick and thin,
The best friend you ever had.
One is never really ready
When it comes time to part
But Dad will live forever
As a sweet memory in your heart.
May you think of him often,
Remembering too,
All the good times you shared
And how much he loved each of you.
Although you will miss him
And mourn that he is gone,
May this thought bring you peace
In your heart he lives on.

Mark and Char, we’re sorry to hear this news about Albert and will be thinking about your family and of course Phyllis too.
We are so sorry to see that Albert has passed. We wondered if he was not feeling well as we did not see him drive by hauling hay.
He will be missed by us. What a great husband, father and friend.
I am terribly sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
My sincere condolences. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Very sad to hear about the loss of your father Mark. My prayers are with him.
