You were always there for me. The many conversations we had, the laughs we shared, the way you loved my kids... I still can't believe this is real. How can my big brother be gone? The only thing that gives me peace is knowing how full of joy you are to be with our Lord! How incredible that must be. Say hello to Moma and Daddy. My heart aches for you all.

A gentle soul, who loved his wife, So much that her portrayed her well, In photographs that showed her life, The love apparent, one could tell. Within her smile, he captured such A love beyond what most will ever know, I loved his creativity so much, And feel so sad that now he had to go. Into the arms of Jesus, and bent on my knees, I pray he left our Judith with rich memories. Rachel xxxx
