Tucker Graef Obituary

Tucker Ray Graef October 10, 1990 - June 21, 2005. Our Sweetie Boy. The days pass slowly you're nowhere in sight It's been two years since that horrible night We discovered you were missing and searched high and low We discovered you lifeless What a devastating blow Not a day goes by that we don't think of you We treasure the memories But somehow this just doesn't do You were a boy that we held close to our heart When we think of you, the tears can't help but start. We miss your smile, your laughter, your tricks The jokes you would play on us just for kicks Grandma, she misses you Oh the games we would play in spite of you beating us on any given day "Brother" as you would call your brother, Ty Has been strong through it all And your Dad has been a pillar with drive to keep us going, he stands tall But Mom struggles every minute of the day In spite of being told "you're in a better place" The tears fall frequently down her face God is our hope and strength And we've been blessed by many at length Stay with us, boy Give us signs that you're there We'll try to keep our chins up and hide our despair Tucker, Sweetie Boy, you will be forever loved and never forgotten We miss you Love Dad, Mom, Ty, Kane, Mark, Grandma Groeger and family.
