Your with Dad now and neither one of you will be alone.Give Dad our love and tell him we miss him. Love you lot's your sister Sharon

My Brother
As kids, we lived together,
We fought, We laughed, We cryed.
We did not always show the love,
that we both had inside.
We shared our dreams and plans,
and some secrets too.
All the memories we shared,
is what bonds me now to you.
We grew to find we have a love,
that is very strong today.
It,s a love shared by our family,
that will never fade away.
You are my brother not by choice,
but by the nature of our birth.
I could not have chosen a better one,
you are the best on earth
In memorie of my Brother

To whom it may concern,
Elmer (Wolf) was a good friend of mine for many years. I am so sorry he lost his life at such a young age. My heart goes out to the whole family and I know he is in no more pain. I will always love and miss Wolf for as long as I am still alive. I love you all and hope you can get through this hard time with the peace from above.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

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.
