Aunt Kathy,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Don's passing was a loss for everyone around him. I've never met a kinder man in my life, someone willing to help anyone at anytime. I am going to frame the picture taken of the 2 of you with Brady on his first Easter so the boys will always remember him. I love you.

Where are you now
Where did you go?
I wonder, I wait
Are you at the gate?

Dancing on moonbeams
Reaching for your dreams
A seagull in flight
What a wonderful sight

We lived in the garden of life
With sunshine and roses
Summer rains bringing rainbows
And ocean waves caressing our toes

Sharing the splendor of Autumn
Tulips in May
And sailboats in motion
On a lazy summer day

Snowflakes on our eyelashes
What a beautiful sight
Fuji romping in the snow
On a moonlit winter night

Blowing bubbles up to the sky
Watching clouds slip quietly by
Soft gentle breezes danced on our face
The garden of life is a wonderful place

We laughed, we loved, we lived
God was with us in all we did
It was magic and beauty and love
A gift to us from Heaven above

No more will you leave footprints
In the snow
But you'll always be with me
That I know

Where are you now
Where did you go?
I wonder, I wait
For you to let me know
