Now my heart aches, my eyes leak, my soul mourns, and my family is broken. Only a moment that changed forever. And, forever is such a very long time. But you can be sure, you will live in my heart forever... I love and miss you Jon. I miss the me I was when you were here...I love and miss you Jon. ~ Your Mother, Elaine H Thomas Expression of Love: Brother You gave no one a last farewell Nor ever said good-bye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why A million times we will miss you A million times we will cry If love alone could have saved you You never would have died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one else can fill It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you The day God took you home By: Diona C. Stevenson and Darryl C. Thomas, II
