~A BROTHER~
A brother is always a brother
and he will forever be
Both born by the same loving mother
you have a strong bond, you and he
This bond no one ever can sever
Even though now you're apart
the bond between you lasts forever
because it's from heart to heart.
So know that you're never alone now
He'll watch you from high above
Moreover, your friends are right here now
to give to you care and love.

You are in our memory still and we miss you so!
In Memory of You
I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.
I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil
and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.
Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.
My heartfelt thanks to Kirsti

Dearest Sheldon,
There were many things
I never got to tell you
And I never got to say goodbye
nor did your children.
You will remain
in our hearts and thoughts.
We love you, Sheldon (Dad) and
know we will
see you again someday in the hereafter.
With love, your sisters, Dereth, Marilyn,
and children, Bobby, Wyatt & Tonya
It is very depressing to lose both my parents and my
brother in the space of two years leaving my heart
saddened and bereft
for which I am grateful to my brothers children
for thier loving support during this difficult time in
my life and to my friends at Heavens Angels for their
love and support. And a special thanks to my sister
for allowing me to spend the last month of my Mother's
life with her.
I'm sure my brother is looking down upon us and knows
we love him.
This is my farewell to my darling brother, with love,
Dereth
Dearest Sheldon,
We do not need a special day
to bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
are very hard to find
Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
no one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you
your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly
in death we love you still
There will always be a heartache
and often a silent tear
But always a precious memory
of the days when you were here
If tears would make a staircase
and heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you home again
We hold you close within our hearts
and there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again
Our family chain is broken now
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again

Do not search for us, we will find you.
Do not wait for us, we are here....all ready.
Do not whisper your name, we know it well.
We have loved you forever, time will tell....
We are your Guardian Angels.
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love.
Where there is love
There's an angel nearby.
