August 19, 1959 - February 21, 2015
Those we love don’t go
away, they walk beside us every
day. Unseen, unheard but
always near. Still loved, still
missed and forever dear.

Remembrance
I won’t forget my days
with you,
Your memory will not
leave my view,
For you have changed my
life, you see,
And in my heart you’ll
always be.
And now I see through all
my tears
I’ll never lose you through the years;
No matter what; we’ll never part.
For I have locked you in my heart.
