Something I made Just For You!!!

Uncle Juke, you will always be in my heart. I will miss the way I could come to you for comfort. I will never forget the way that I could come to you and tell you whatever I was going through. I have a special poem for me to let you know how I will remember you. I want to let you know that my unborn son will have your first name as his middle name.


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.

I Love You and You are Missed!!

Grandma, Daddy, Uncle Marvin & Maurice, I found this and it brought me some comfort, I hope it will do the same for you.

I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.

Gonna miss you so much, words cannot express how much!

I miss you Grandpa.
