I am always missing you my Brother. I went to a car show this week and saw the car we were suppose to work on. You worked so hard to get to that point in your life but never got to do it. You would be so proud of your children and what they have accomplished. I will always have you in my memories and my heart. I love You.

Dearest Brother, It is Christmas Eve. I know there will be many heavy hearts during this Christmas. You have not left us. I am saddened by your not being here and more so that we will also be missing Mom. The only good thought I can find is that you are not alone and it was almost like Mom was destined to follow and take care of you. But I can tell you we will all miss you and Mom terribly during this Christmas. Your Brother, Charlie.

Dear Brother, It is Thanksgiving eve and I feel a little lost tonight. Just thought I would stop by here and say hello. I will always remember the kind gentle person who devoted his entire life to a very special boy. I will always be there if they need me. You will always be in my heart and memories. Love You, Your Brother Charlie

Until we meet again.....I will always remember, for all the memories I give thanks. Love your daughter Holly.

My Dearest Brother, Butchie

He was getting tired,
A cure was not to be
God put His arms around him
And whispered, "come with me."

With tearful eyes we watched him,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
