BIRTHDAY MEMORIAM
JAMES TYRONE CARSWELL Born: 7/29/1966 Died: 3/12/1995
One more year has come and gone. Suddenly, violently we were thrust in the middle of a storm, and left all alone.
Losing you was more than a notion. Our tears, our heartaches are our bottled up emotions. I know we’ll see you once more and again. Our journey over there has almost began.
To hold you, to kiss you is all we want to do, so tell all our loved ones that we’re coming, too.
Rejoice and just you wait. It’ll be all just ice cream and cake.
Parents, James and Cora Car- swell, and all the Carswell Clan.
