Arty, Arty, Arty-I find this really hard not to see you again after we just reunited after 45 yrs-I love you and will miss you more than words can say- I found this poem and thought of you-
I sit around and wonder,
and watch the days go by.
I look at all the pictures,
and ask, why did you have to die?

But now it's time to let you go,
your spirit now is free.
Even though you won't really be gone,
because you'll live inside of us
So when we have to leave you
at your resting place,
I will always remember
your smiling, beautiful face.

This is hardly a goodbye,
so I won't weep anymore,
because now you're in better place
then you ever were before.

Even though that I will miss you,
and I'll think about you everyday
you'll always be my favorite cuzin
and that to me makes my heart smile...

pss- tell my grandma aurelia n gpa george -hello for me

mary bavery-your prettiest cuzin
