This is a poem I wrote
for my first born son that died
at age 43. This poem was read
at his funeral 11-16-98

This is when he was
about 5 months old
My little sweet cute
first son. Isn't he  a
doll? Born in 1955

GOODBYE JERRY

Jerry my first born....
Though my heart..
is sadly torn..

I know you wanted..
so much to be....
With your sister Kathy...
 and Jesus to see...

Along with Grandpa...
Whose name you share...
Grandma Dollie is also there..

Aunts Lillian and Charlotte...
All waiting for you...
So enter the gate...
 Be with them too....

Your uncle Bill...
Leona and John....
Grandparents you loved..
All waiting beyond...

So many to greet you...
and welcome you son...
Your life on earth over...
Has just now begun...

What a reunion...
There must be...
With Jesus in Heaven...
And all to see....

We'll all see you later....
My precious son....
When our life is over...
And our work is done...

Goodbye now Jerry...
Be happy there...
With Jesus to hold you...
And show you his care...

We all Love you and miss you,
Your Mom and Family
