Loving Tribute
You are the strongest man we know
That’s why it’s so hard to say good bye to you.
People keep saying now that you’re gone.
We have to pick up the pieces and learn to be strong.
But they forgot to mention one small detail somethings aren’t easy and sometimes we fail.
Our time together was memorable and God took you too fast. One thing for sure we loved you from our 1st breath to your last. We will miss you more and more each day. No matter what we do we won’t say “good bye” we will say “we love you”.
Your family, Raymond, Kelvin and JaMichael
~An Expression of Gratitude ~
It’s not the things that can be bought that are life’s richest treasures. It’s just the little “heart gifts” that money cannot measure. A familiar smile, a casual touch, these are the things that mean so much. To know you are with us in our time of sorrow, sharing our prayers, today and tomorrow. God gives us comfort in the form of good friends. May his peace be with you; his love never ends.
We will be etermally grateful to the staff of Methodist Hospital Germantown. ~The Family
