You are not forgotten. So many things have happened, Since you were called away, So many things to share with you, Had you been left to stay, Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are ever near, Still missed, loved and always dear. We love you, Mom, Dad, Adam, Josh, Nicole, Mike & all your family & friends |
