Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

I will miss seeing him at church. He was always picking on me in fun and I loved it.

I know where he is right now and will get to spend eternity with him and all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
