As the sun sets upon this life, and your body
is laid to rest. I know you’ll be up in Heaven,
because God only takes the best. I know you’re
watching over me, and it takes away the pain.
I will carry you in my heart, until we meet
again. My world is a little darker, now that
we’re apart. But the memories are shining
brightly, within this broken heart. You touched
the lives of those you loved, and we wanted you
to stay. But you were needed up in Heaven,
and God whispered, “come this way.” I know
whenever I’m lonely, and this smile becomes
a frown. I’ll look up to the sky above,
and they’ll be an Angel looking down.
Love your relatives,
Dabbs, Moore, Grayer, Jenkins
McCarrol, Bovan and Davis.
"My Brother "
As kids, we lived together
We fought, we laughed, we cried.
We did not always show the love,
that we both had inside.
We shared our dreams and plans,
and some secrets too.
All the memories we share,
Is what bonds me now to you.
We grew to find we have a love
that is very strong today.
It's a love shared by our family,
that will never fade away.
You are my brother not by choice,
but by the nature of our birth
I could not have chosen a better
one you were the best on earth
LOVE YOUR BROTHERS & SISTERS
