  8. A poem for Heavens Angels ( Billy Reese) my cousin. I will not stand at your grave and cry, your not there you did not die, We will see you in the diamonds that glisten on snow, or everytime we catch a glimpse of a Buck or a Doe, we’ll know your all right when a butterfly flutters in sight, we know you’ll be smiling watching your grandkids fly kites, We’ll talk to you often through Jesus , down on our knees, he took you with mom and Fred , that helps puts us at ease. Your living in Heaven , so we will say Goodbye, but I will not stand at your grave and cry, you are not there you did not die.

    Dear Cheri,
    I am still stunned by the sad news of your brother Bill’s death. You spoke of him with love in your voice such that I cared about him, too though I hadn’t met him. He’ll always be there in your heart, still a brother, still loved and cared about.
    To your family — condolences and blessings.

Leave Your Condolence
