Gone-Not Forgotten'
Another member gone form our midst'
Without any doubt, he will truly be missed.
Not only because of the job he did,
But-more importantly-for the life he lived.
With his bright smile or little joke,
His life has blessed a lot of folks.
He has given us memories which time can't erase,
And no one can ever take his place.
Many were there to say goodbye;
There were many tears in many eyes.
Now we must strive to comfort each other,
As we take time to mourn our brother.
Our strength will come from God above,
Who will surround and comfort us with His love.
Let each of us seek Him in our own unique way,
And ask Him to guide us through each new day.
So as our lives go on, we'll stop and say a prayer,
And let others around us know that we care'
Let us take time to share the way we feel;
Be open- be loving--be honest- be real.
Someday our sorrow will be passed,
And peace will flood our hearts at last.
With God's Grace, we'll preserve till the end.
In Honor of our loved one, family member, and friend.
