My beloveth cousin, what wouldn't I have given to our heavenly father to have you to spend another hour, day, week, month or even a year with us. I don't fault you one bit for letting go, I didn't want to see you suffer any longer. You was a very brave soul and I admired you so much. You knew God had your back. I will miss you and I will always keep you in my memories. I know you were greeted in Heaven by the family Welcoming party, that is my mom, Big Mother, Mama Liza, Tutter, your...

know that sinking feeling
It will happen to you too...
The one that you love is gone forever
And there's nothing you can do.
So try to remember the good times together
And your heart will start to heal
They live on inside you,
They're always beside you,
They're angels waiting there,
To guide you home.

There's a heap of satisfaction
to sit here thinking of you Dad
And to tell you once again Dad,
how very much I love you.
There is comfort just in longing
for a smile from your face
And joy in just remembering
your very special place.
There is happiness in knowing
that my heart will always be
A place where you will rest
and will always be near to me.
All my love to you Dad in Heaven
MISS YOU DADDY

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose...

Eagle Fly....
Fly with desire, fly with care.
Cast lovingly upon your wing,
To The Creator, you carry my prayer.
Fly prudent, fly wise.
Beneath your mighty wings,
The wind caresses, and you rise.
Fly with purity, fly with grace.
Far beyond the pale blue sky,
You soar, to a higher place.
Fly effortlessly, fly strong.
To The Heavens, your destination,
It's time to journey on.
Fly with dignity, fly with pride.
You hold the gifts of power and...
