This is not easy, but he goes: This is for the entire family of the loss of a LIMB FROM THIS TREE; SPEAK HIS NAME- Someone we love has gone away, And Life is not the same the greatest gift that you can give is just to speak HIS name. I need to hear the stories and the tales of days gone past, I need for you to understand these memories must last. We cannot make more memories Since they’re no longer here; so when you speak of them to me IT’S MUSIC TO MY EAR.
FINALLY: There is a path that one must walk alone. It’s at the end of the road, this journey is when one must leave our loved ones to go too that PEACEFUL PLACE OF REST, FOREVERMORE. Sadly missed never ever forgotten, THEE OTHER LIMB IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS; AMEN!!!! SUBMITTED BY LEVIN A. DESHIELDS & THE DESHIELDS FAMILY
