"BROTHER"
You gave no one a last farewell, Nor ever said good-bye . You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. A million times we will missyou,Amilliontimeswewillcry. Iflovealonecouldhavesavedyou, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love youstill,Inourheartsyouholdaplace,nooneelsecanfill. Itbrokeour hearts to loose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you home, We will meet again someday, We know in a betterplace. WethankGodHemadeyouourbrother, Whileyouwere here on earth.
Love,
Vonnie, Calvin & Tronda
