YOUR MEMORY IS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
I am not gone I remain here beside you Just in a different form Look for me in your heart And there you will find me In our love which forever lives on . . . In those moments when you feel alone Look for me in your thoughts And there you will find me In sweet memories that burn strong . . . Every time a tear Forms in your beautiful eyes Look up to the heavens And there you will see me Smiling down from God’s glorious skies, Hear me whisper I’m walking all over the heavens And watching over each of you, till we meet again I Love You! -----------------------------------
A poem from Adrian "Rudy" Wray An Angel whisper to me take my hand and come with me your work here is done. I went away to a place where there's no tears, no sorrow, only laughter and smiles, and there will always be a tomorrow. And I walk among the clouds I look down and smile at you all, while the angels sing a heavenly song. I am NOT alone here, all who went before me are here they knew I was coming. I know y'all are grieving and wishing I was still here, I'm here in your memories that we share. Remember how much I love y'all and know I took y'all love with me. I do not want you to cry or feel sad for me. My pain is gone and I'm free. I will see you all again but until then God will be with you all. And he is with me. Love Rudy
