I thought about you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you in si- lence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part. God has you in HIS arms, I have you in my heart.
