If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Brother’s arms, And tell him they’re from me.

Loving Sisters
Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day, But there’s an ache within my heart That will never go away.
This is for someone wonderful As loved as one could be For you were everything in life You meant the world, you see And sometimes life can be unkind When hearts are torn in two But nothing ever could compare To the pain of losing you But all the love you left behind, forever will live on And until we meet again Rest peacefully, dear son
Of all the many blessings However great or small To have had you for an uncle Was the greatest one of all. The family chain is broken now And nothing seems the same But as God takes us one by one The chain will link again.
Tell him I love him and miss him, And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss on his cheek and hold him awhile.
You held our hand when we were small You caught us when were going to fall You are the Hero of our childhood And our later years as well Everytime we think of you Our hearts still fills with pride Though we will always miss you Dad We know you’re by our side In laughter and in sorrow In sunshine and in rain We know uou’re watching over us Until We Meet Again
Interment In Our Hearts Forever
