Michael is not gone
East your grief, he is not gone,
For in your heart, he lingers on.
His smile, his laugh, his special way,
Will comfort you sister Rosemary from day to day.
You’ll feel his presence in the breeze,
That dance gently, through the trees,
And it’s his handsome face that you will see,
When you’re in the need of company.
At any time, you can recall, the love you shared, you saved it all
and in time, more than anything, you’ll find peace in remembering.
I will never forget you nephew with all our love.

My Dear Cousin I can’t believe your gone: I’d keep you here if I could
It pains me to accept the fact, but now I’ve understood
Nothing is this world is forever, good, or bad
But at least you’re safe in heaven, for which I am glad
I know by now you are standing at those heavenly gates
Up in heaven is where your new life awaits
I am going to miss you dear cousin; I know this to be true
I’m never going to forget the last moments I spent with you.
You have flown up in the blue sky
Now it is time today our final goodbyes
Rest in peace my dear cousin Michael Charles Evans Jr.
Love Always David Brian Williams
