March 9, 1955 – August 15, 2006
The number seven represents good fortune for some,
For me it represents a time when my day was darkened beneath the sun;
Seven years ago when your footprints from earth’s sand were erased,
Tears of sorrow covered every part of my face;
But it was of God’s will and this I cannot question,
Although my heart may ache – the pain God has surely lessened;
It is because of His grace I am comforted and He allows me to hear,
Echoes of your laughter still within my ears;
It is because of His mighty power I am shown in my mind’s eye,
The times we shared as a family by and by;
My love for you will continue to go on,
An unconditional love like we have through Jesus Christ God’s Only Begotten Son;
Each one of us in the family misses you every day,
But know, my dear brother, God strengthens us in every way.
