In Loving Memory of Dean J. Prescott

Nov. 25, 1962 to Aug. 18, 2008 There were no farewell words spoken, I had no chance to say goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness and tears still secretly flow.

I think of you in silence.

I often speak your name.

Now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Everyday you are in my mind.

Our time together was far too short, but we had very good times.

Your memory is a treasure which I will never let go.

You’re always in my heart.

I miss you so much.
