God looked around His garden, And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful.. He always takes the best.. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace be Thine". It broke my heart to lose you but you didn't go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home.....My Dearest Brother...although I am not there for your memorial...memories of you being so important in my life will always remain in my heart. My older brother..a strength when I needed it..Always know how much I love you and give my Love to Mom, Dad, Glenn and my husband Rich....You will be forever on my mind and in my heart...as we always ended our telephone calls.."love you bro" ....Your sister Roe....
