Life's
Great
Test
by
Sandy
Oidtman
Her
heart
has
suffered
a
final
blow,
She
had
to
let
her
lover
go;
He
was
her
husband
of
fifteen
years,
He
made
her
laugh
and
dried
her
tears.
Two
children
they
gave
to
each
other,
One
was
Becky;
Josh
was
the
other;
He
showed
her
joy
in
a
simple
life,
And
made
her
happy
to
be
his
wife.
He
loved
to
hunt
and
loved
to
fish,
Having
a
good
meal
his
greatest
wish:
He
lived
for
his
children
day
and
night,
He
wanted
so
much
to
raise
them
right.
He
had
a
hard
life
but
fought
to
the
last,
But,
now
at
least,
his
pain
has
passed;
She
can
now
put
him
to
rest,
He
has
passed
life's
great
test.
My
Big
Brother
by
Debbie
Dickey
It’s
been
thirteen
years
Since
the
day
you
said
“I
do”;
You
became
my
special
friend,
And
my
big
brother,
too.
You’ve
dried
my
tears
When
the
going
got
rough;
You
showed
me
how
To
hold
my
head
up
and
be
tough.
You’ve
been
my
protector,
My
friend
and
my
brother;
A
special
heart
like
yours,
I
could
find
in
no
other.
It
is
hard
to
put
into
words,
How
I
feel
inside;
When
I
watch
you
with
your
family,
I
am
filled
with
pride.
You’ve
never
asked
for
help,
You
always
did
it
on
your
own;
Proud,
loving
children
is
What
you
have
sown.
You’re
always
willing
to
help
Any
soul
in
need;
Great
rewards
for
you
Is
what
God
has
planned,
indeed.
I
want
you
to
know
When
you
look
up
at
the
sky;
You
have
a
little
sister
That
looks
at
you
with
love
in
her
eyes.
Don't
Stand
and
Weep
by
Beth
Unger
The
day
is
now
here,
We
no
longer
have
to
live
in
fear,
We
know
he
is
in
a
happy
place,
He
will
never
again
have
sorrow
upon
his
face.
I
love
my
Uncle
Billy,
such
a
happy
man,
If
you
knew
him,
you
too
would
be
a
fan,
He
always
made
everyone
joyful
and
happy,
Even
if
his
day
has
been
rather
crappy.
But
do
not
stand
by
his
grave
and
weep,
He
is
not
there,
he
does
not
sleep,
He
is
here
for
the
fall
winds
that
blow,
And
he
is
here
for
the
winter
snow.
He
is
here
for
th
spring
rains,
And
he
is
here
for
summer-ripened
grains,
So
do
not
stand
at
his
grave
and
cry,
He
is
not
there,
he
did
not
die.

Today
my
Uncle
Billy
passed.
He
passed
away
at
2::30
today
from
cancer.
He
may
not
live
in
this
world
we
live
in
today,
but
he
does
live
in
the
hearts
that
do
live
today
and
this
decade
and
this
century.
Many
loved
him
and
he
will
remain
loved
always.
He
never
let
us
down.
Billy
was
a
kind
man
and
father.
He
loved
his
wife,
children,
and
family
with
all
his
heart!
We
loved
him
just
as
much
as
he
loved
us!
We
may
have
to
live
without
him
but
he
will
never
die
because
he
is
living
in
our
hearts
and
alwsys
will.!
