~IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER~
.............~1949 TO 1999~..............
DIED AUGUST 10, 1999
....BUBBA YOUR AT PEACE NOW,
WHERE NO HARM CAN COME TO
YOU. YOUR RESTING PEACEFULLY
WITH GOD NOW. WE TAKE
COMFORT IN THAT,
BUT BUBBA YOU LEFT US
WITHOUT A WORD.
WE ALL HAVE SO MANY
QUESTIONS THAT WILL NEVER
BE ANSWERED FOR US.
OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY FROM
GRIEF. IN TIME WE WILL GO ON, BUT
YOUR MEMORY
WILL NEVER LEAVE
OUR HEARTS.
WE HAVE A TREASURE CHEST
FULL OF MEMORIES TO KEEP
US GOING.
I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER
REST NOW.
~A Hug in memory of my~
~BROTHER~
How can we ease the pain
that we feel?
How do we count the tears
we have cried?
When all we have left are the
sweet memories after someone
so close and so special has
died? Torn from our lives
after
too short a time and no one
around who can even say why.
And now all that's left
are the sweet memories
that are counted
along with each tear that we
cry. The one we have lost
has returned now to God,
to live in his light
for eternity on.
And the Lord's given to
us our sweet
memories to hold in our
hearts and to help us go on.
Take comfort in knowing
there will come the day
when we will all be reunited
again.
Until then, we'll have many
sweet
memories to warm up our
hearts
and help us to mend.
~Silent Tears~
Silent tears are deep down inside
When you can not do what you want
When you loose your pride
Silent tears are the worlds most
fright.
You must avoid them
With all your might
Silent tears make your heart
so unsafe.
You have to fight them
Try the other way
You want to run you want to hide
Silent tears hurt you all inside
You have only one life to give
And so much love to give
With out this you have nothing
So don't bring your chance to an end
I guess it is to late now
He was in life's play
I wish he could live just one more
day
His eyes were full of fear
His eyes were full of fright
But why did he make the choice to
die
I feel so abandoned
I feel so alone
He was gone so quickly his life
became known
He did not even say goodbye
Could he not for the least have
tried
One thing I still dont understand
Written in memory of my father

~Why?~
Dad you are gone now though
I don't know why
I don't understand why you had
to say goodbye
I can understand laying down your
life
for a friend
But you made your life end
It feels like it's all a dream
Though it's not what it seems
If I could just get one more
hug from you
It would be a dream come true
Why did you make your life not be
You had so much life left so
I loved you more than life itself
Why couldn't you just love yourself
I guess you didn't know that
eternity is forever
It will be awhile until we can be
together

I HAVE TO BELIEVE GOD HAS
HIS PLAN FOR ALL OF US..
THATS WHY RICKY IS GONE NOW..
GOD NEEDED HIM BACK UP WITH HIM
FOR ANOTHER REASON. WE WILL
NEVER GET OVER THE PAIN
BUT WE WILL GO ON.
I KNOW I'VE CHANGED MY WAY OF
THINKING THRU ALL OF THIS...
I'VE LEARNED TO FORGIVE NOT THE
WAY I WANTED TO LEARN IT,
BUT I DID. I REALIZE NOW
THAT I DONT WANT HATE
IN MY LIFE FOR ANYONE.
LIFE IS TO SHORT
FOR THE PETTY THINGS
IN LIFE. REACH OUT TO
SOMEONE AND U WILL FIND
THE PEACE I'VE FOUND.
WE ALL HAVE OUR MEMORIES
SOME GOOD SOME BAD BUT,
WE STILL LOVED HIM NO MATTER
WHAT. WE ALL HAVE TO GO ON
BECAUSE WE HAVE FAMILY
WE LOVE DEARLY,
HE WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF US.
WE HAVE A CLOSENESS THAT
ALOT OF FAMILIES ARE
LOOKING FOR. WERE VERY
LUCKY AND BLESSED TO HAVE
EACH OTHER.
I LOVE ALL OF U...
~TOMORROW WITHOUT ME~
When tomorrow starts
without me,
and I'm not there
to see; If the sun
should rise and find your
eyes all filled with tears
for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't
cry,the way you did today,
while thinking of the many
things we didn't get to
say.I
know how much
you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of
me,
I know you'll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts
without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and
called my name
and took me by the hand.
It said my place was ready
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave
behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life I'd always
thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you,
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we
shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that
this
could never be, for emptiness
and
memories would take the place of
me.
And when I thought of worldly
things
I might miss come tomorrow,
I
thought
of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
When I walked through Heaven's
gates
I felt so much at home.
God looked down and smiled
at me from His great golden
throne. He said,
"This is eternity and all
I've promised you".
Today your life on earth
is past, but here it
starts anew,
I promise no tomorrow
but today will always last.
So when tomorrow starts
without me
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your
heart.
~I'M FREE~
Don't grieve for me,
for now I'm free,
I'm following the path
God laid for me,
I took his hand
when I heard him call,
I turned my back,
and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, or
play,
Tasks left undone,
must stay that way,
I've found that peace,
at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembering
joy.
A friendship shared,
a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too,
will miss.
Be not burdened with
times of sorrow,
I wish you the
sunshine of tomorrow,
My life's been full,
I've savored much,
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time,
seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now,
with undo grief.
Lift up your heart,
and share with me.
God wanted me now;
HE SET ME FREE.
