Uncle Robbie,

If Tears Could...

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

Your time here with us was cut so short. But I know that God has a Greater need for you. Your now our Guardian Angel. So please look after all of us, and keep us safe.

We Love you so much and you will truely be missed. Love Shane, Karen, Trevor, Tessa, & Tanner
