Brother Gone to Heaven
One quiet day the angels came and took our brother away. But in the stillness of the night, we could almost hear him say
Dear brothers and sisters,
I will miss you; you mean so much to me. But Jesus called me to His side in Heaven I will be.
So remember all the good times, don’t think about the bad. Treasure all the special moments through the years we’ve always had.
If you trust in God, I can promise this and more. You will get a hug from your brother some day in Heaven’s golden shore.
Love: Dale, Willie, Pat, Vickie
Vette and Brenatte
(Watch out for that tree!)
Gone
Day by day, I think of you
How can all this be true?
I can’t believe you are really gone
I still can’t accept it
Even after so long, just the thought of you makes me cry.
I never even got the chance to say goodbye
Big brother you’re gone but not forgotten.
Your Sister,
Vette
