In Memory Of My cousin Red

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories are a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again!!!
No Farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye"
You were gone before i knew it,
And only God knows "why"
My heart still aches with sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to love you no one
will ever know.
But now I know you want me to
mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today---
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay!!!


Love Always,
Your Cousins

Ruth Stover, and
