Truly sorry for your loss. I worked with him at International Paper . Truly one of the greatest people I know. Always smiling and laughing about something. Truly has been missed everyday here at work. Sorry for your loss again.
As tears roll down my face,
I know you’re in a better place.
I close my eyes to see your face,
suddenly I feel a warm embrace.
With a smile so wide,
it brings tears to my eyes.
I try so hard not to cry;
all of my pain I cannot hide.
You always knew just what to say
to anyone having a bad day.
I don’t know if I will ever understand,
but it must be part of God’s plan.
As I look up towards the blue sky,
I imagine you spreading your wings to fly.
Be sure to give your Mom a sign
so she knows you are fine.
Tell everyone there I send my love
to all of the Angels up above
give my brother a high five for me and tell him I know he is my Angel to be.
As the tears roll down my face,
I know you are in a better place.
And I know your still here gracing us with your face.
Love you little cuz!!!!!! And I’m paddle shifting all the way down the high. Thanks again
