                                                                      It’s  always  seems  to
                                                                      amaze  me  how  quickly
                                                                      change         occurs       like

                                                                      of  near  icy  cold  water
                                                                      like  the  tides  change
                                                                      bringing  newness  like

                  If tears could build a stairway                     air.
                  And thoughts a memory lane.                         I  know  things  never  stay  the
                   l'd walk right up to heaven.                       same  but  this  time  it’s  just  not
                    And bring you home again.                         fair. I feel like I just met you and
                 No farewell words were spoken                        now you move away. I smile shyly
                      No time to say goodbye.                         knowing  that  this  is  your  last
                                                                      day.  I  miss  you  my  friend  my
                 You were gone before we knew it.                     mind  knows  that  you  are  in  a
                        And God knows why.                            better  place  where  there  is  no
               Our hearts still ache with sadness                     pain  no  suffering  only  sunshine
                    And secret tears still flow.                      you are at peace.
                     What it meant to lose you                        I  understand  that.  I  just  wish  I
                       No one can ever know.                          could explain it to my heart there

                   But now l know you want us                         is  an  empty  space  in  it  that
                     To mourn for you no more                         nothing will ever fill it.
                To remember all the happy times                       I  grieve  but  I  know  my  teardrop
                    Life still has much in store.                     will  be  in  heaven  with  you  for
                                                                      soon  that  I  will  meet  you    again
                  Since you'll never be forgotten                     in the great by in by. There will be
                        I pledge to you today                         no  tears  or  sorrow  there.  We  all
                A hallowed place within my heart                      will live with Jesus Christ forever
                    Is where you'll always stay.                      and ever. I  one day we will meet

              God knows why, with chilling touch,                     in heaven.
             Death gathers those we love soo much,                    All  I  hope  is  that  our  friendship
           And what now seems so strange and dim,                     lasts the test of times.
             Will all be clear, when we meet again.

         T. Michelle Brooks & family - Fort Myers FL.
         Though many of us are sad to see you go, please know you will be truly missed.  We want to
         celebrate  the  great  man  that  you  are  and  was  to  your  family,  to  your  friends,  and  to  your
         community. I can remember the times My girls and I would see your smiling face and how you
         always had welcoming arms to treat us just like family. Something as simple as cutting up sugar
         cane and giving it to us as a present when we arrived in Bahamas or when you came to Florida, put
         an extra smile in our hearts.  Your presence was a role model to us, you showed us how to treat a
         guest/family and how  loving your wife was a great example for my girls and I to see a Godly man’s
         heart for his family.   We will always remember you.
