So go and run with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels

Our love and prayers are with you. Your dad will always be "Uncle Billy" to me.He was always more of a brother to Mama(Minnie Lee), instead of her nephew.I am so sorry for the ordeal you all went thru. Now he is at peace.
With love, Stephanie(Slick) Choudhury
