Acknowledgement

The family of Michael David Tyrone Rodenberger Hawkins is

extremely grateful for all the acts of kindness displayed during

the difficult time whether you sent a card or flowers, or said a

prayer it has not gone unnoticed

Love I never understood the real reason for tough love, The type of

love that now has you keeping an eye up above.

I understand there’s no point in wishing what was because now we have a hawk

watching us from above.

I know if I have troubles You’ll come tapping on my shoulder

We’ll see each other one day, hopefully when I’m a little older

A new light in the sky I keep my head held high

I can see you shining This is not goodbye

-Whit & Keyla Underwood
