I wish I could see you one more time, Come walking through the door... But I know that is impossible, I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears And you don’t want me to cry, Yet my heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone So precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength And somehow get me through... As I Struggle with the heartache That came When I Lost You

Recessional
Our dear Brother now that you’re gone You’re no longer here to share The bod we had togetherA bond of love and care. Yet, somehow something tells me You are watching over meNow stay from Wordly cares You finally are free. We miss you so very much, And our tears we cannot hide Yet, within our hearts, We feel You are always by our side. Ever since you went away Life has never been the same Yet, it comforts me to know That one day we’ll meet again
