Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
We feel you all around us
Your memory, so clear

Deep in the stillness
We can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are "ours"
Forever loved
And your watching over us from up above

Fly us up to where you are
beyond the distant star
We wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside our dream's
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As our hearts hold you
Just one beat away
We cherish all you gave us everyday
'Cause you are our's~~"
Forever loved
Watching us from up above

And we believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly us up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
we wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away not far
To where you are

We know you're there
A breath away not far to where you are~~




With Love and prayer~

Lucy, Rick, Alyssa and Joe: I am so sorry to hear of the death of your dad, father-in-law, and grandfather. Nothing hurts the heart more than losing a loved one, especially one so close. We know he is in a better place and that you will be with him again, but that does little to ease the sharp edges of the grief that we endure here and now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and forever. Love you very much, Aunt Nancy and Uncle Rick
