...we will never be the same without you...
...because you touched our life, our hearts have a void that no one else can fill...
...because you touched our life, there is one less smile...
...because you touched our life, life does not want to go on...
...because you touched our life, our tears won't stop...
...because you touched our life, we were blessed by all that was you...
...because you touched our life, something is missing, cause you are not there...
...because you touched our life, nothing else matters now that you are no longer here...
...because you touched our life, we are grateful for the person that YOU are...
...eleanor roosevelt stated that so many people come into our lives...often quickly going but the ones that truly matter leave footprints on our hearts & we are never the same...
...a young man a few years back came into my family's life & did just so...I, like so many were blessed that this young man decided to stay and grow with us...he showed us his humor, his love of sports, his passion for cooking, his dedication & his hard work, his love for family and the love of his life...he was fun and energetic; his smile was magnetic & you knew he loved life...
...this young man grew to be a part of a family...a family that appreciated who he was and knew that because of his presence they were blessed...
...and one night this young man was taken from us...way too soon...no good-byes were uttered and those that he left behind were stunned...no more smiles, no more laughter, no more saying hi, no more hanging out, no more being with him...
...brian -- words cannot express how much my heart misses you; thank you for being the person in my life that touched it in such a profound way, more than i ever could express...thank you for being there for my brother & being his partner, his co-worker, & his friend...i feel so blessed that God placed you in my life, in our lives, you forever have a place in my heart...may your memory be eternal & will be missing you...
"as long as we can love each other, & remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away...all the love you created is still there...all the memories are still there...you live on --in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while they were here..."
