Robert Burdine Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 27, 2017.

When I come to the end
of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can,
that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done,
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had
loads of fun.
Forget that I've stumbled
and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought
some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day,
Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
but remember only my best

For he was not my brother-in-law, he was my brother... And as time's path grew longer, he become more of a friend to me, as he showed me the truth that he was, and always will be... CStarry
