Lost.......
The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two.
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep;
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day.
But missing you is heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly within our hearts,
And there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you,
But it will never be the same.
For those who still have their loved ones,
Treat them with tender care.
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they are not there.
Sherwell ( Dad, Papa,uncle & friend)
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would
I am home in heaven dear ones,
oh so happy and so bright.
There is perfect joy and beauty,
in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
every restless yearning past.
I am now at peace forever,
safely home in heaven at last.
Dear ones, do not grieve so sorely,
for I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadow,
pray to trust our father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
so you must not idly stand.
When the work is all completed,
He will gently call you home.
Oh, the rapture of that meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!

With Love Today
With Love Today
We thought of you with love today
But this is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
We think of you in silence and often speak your name,
All we have are our memories, and your picture in a frame.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
This morning I searched my wallet.
It was empty.
Then, I checked my pockets,
I found a few coins.
I then searched my heart
and found you.
Then I realized how rich
I really am.....
Thanks for being my friend.
May you be as rich as I am.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Thank you Sherwell for always being my friend.
You were really a friend indeed.
I am sorry about your loss. Even though I did not know your beloved Sherwell, I hope this tribute will sound just like the friendship he had with so many.
May GOD hold and comfort you tonight
and every night for the rest of your lives.
ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

My Uncle Sherwell
My uncle Sherwell was a remarkable man. He was a wonderful, dad, husband, grandpa, & good friend to many, as the many people at his funeral proved. Everyone loved my uncle, he was always the life of the party. Always had a good joke to tell, or had hatched up some prank to pull. There was never a dull moment when he was around. I always wished we lived close to them, the whole Buoy family is very caring, thoughtful & every one of them has a great sense of humor. The saddest time now is being at his house without him there. I pray for his family, as I know how much they all miss him. He is in heaven now with his wife, Shirley and son Mark. May God be with you, Sharla, Pat, Mike,his grandkids and the rest of the family. I love you all. Rest in peace uncle. Your neice, Lois Carol
