Acknowledgment We would like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the many relatives and friends for their abundant acts of love, sympathy and friendship shared with us during our bereavement. Our hearts have been made glad and spirits lifted because of the genuine acts of kindness that each of you exemplified during this difficult time.

The Family

Love,

Mom

BrotherYou 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 miss you, a million times we will cry.

If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place, no one else can fill.It broke our hearts to lose 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, I know in a better place.

I thank God He made you our brother,While you were here on earth.

Your Little Sisters ~ Net and Pooh

I Miss You Uncle There’s a feeling in my skin, one that I can’t ignore. I hate waking up in the morning without you, Knocking on our door.

I miss the way when you smiled, you lit up the whole night sky.I miss the way you taught me, to never at all be shy.

I walk down the streets alone now, without you by my side.I find it hard when someone mentions your name, not to run and hide.

Sit alone in my room in the dark from night,Always hoping you will be standing there when I turn on the light.

I didn’t see you on your last day,And I didn’t get to say all that I could say.

I can’t miss anyone more than you,Without you our family can never be true.

I miss you completely, I miss you, I miss you!

Love — Root, Jass, Jr, MJ, LiLi and JuJu

I sit here and I ponder how very muchI’d like to talk to you today.

There are so many things that we didn’t get to say.I know how much you care for me,

And how much I care for you.And each time that I think of you,

I know you’ll miss me too.An angel came and called your name,And took you by the hand and said

Your place was ready in Heaven, far above…And you had to leave behind,All though you dearly loved.

You had so much to live for, you had so much to do…It still seemed impossible, that God was taking you.

And though your life on earth is past,In Heaven it starts anew.

You’ll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate,

We are never apart,For each time that we think of you.

love ~ your Boys
