Words can’t express the feeling of missing you. Thinking back on the journeys of
life we been through. Lord if flowers grow in heaven, then pick a bunch for me.
Then place them in my mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon
her cheek and hold her for awhile.
~Missing you always, Moody
We’ve made a lot of memories, throughout our childhood days. No worries in
this great big world. All we did was play. I knew you would have my back; that I
could count on you. Even now since we’ve grown up, I know that still is true.
I can’t even remember the first time I saw your face; But I do know within my
life no one can take your place. We’re there for each other and we will be to the
end. By blood we are cousins and by our hearts we’re friends.
~Love your cousin Pooh
Although you sleep in Heaven now, you’re not that far away. My heart is full of
memories and you’re with me every day. You lived your life with meaning and
with a smile upon your face. A world that was full of happiness is now an empty
place. People say that only time will heal a broken heart. But just like me and
you, it has been torn apart. I know you are at peace now and in a place where
you are free. Meet me at the pearly gates, when Heaven calls for me.
