The Sands of Time
When born you are given a measure of sand, how much or how little no one knows.
As long as the sand runs, your clock of life runs, use it wisely, put no faith in tomorrow,
do what you have to do today. For once the sand is gone; your clock of life is stilled,
and no power on earth can restart the hand of time.
Dave was predeceased by a son Sean Serpa, his parents, Harold and Olga Gange, a brother and sister-in-law, Ron and Edith Gange and niece Joelle Gange.
