If we could have one lifetime wish.
And one dream that could come true.
We would pray to God with all our hearts
Just to see and speak to you.
A thousand words won't bring you back.
We know because we've tried.
And neither will a million tears.
We know because we've cried.
You've left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too.
But we never wanted just memories.
We only wanted you.Mahatma Gandhi This memorial was created for my son Buddy, a loving son, father and brother. Taken from us at such a young age, but he touched so many lives in the short time that God allowed us to have him.He loved his family and he loved his little girl so very much. Buddy was born in Texas,but grew up in WV, and he loved it here, We could share so many memories of Buddy, but the best ones we keep so close to our hearts .I used to tell him he should have been a comedian, he made us laugh all the time, Oh how we miss that laugh of his .I would give so much for just one more day with him, as we all would. We will make sure your little girl never forgets you she loves you so very much. Someday I hope we all have a great big reunion in Heaven, I am looking forward to that day.I love you Buddy and so does all your sisters and brother. and your Daughter Alexis..You are now our Guardian Angel Buddy......
Buddy was a special person that you meet once in a lifetime and we are all so greatful that we had the chance to be apart of his life, even if it was only for a short time. You left an impact in this world that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Rest peacefully dear son.Be at the gate to meet me and Merl when our time comes for we will be looking for you. We love you son.
A poem for Our Family...
His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away - His journey's just begun, life holds so many facets - this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
Think of how he must be wishing that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost -
and he was loved so much.
