I may not be able to wipe away your tears, or fill the emptiness that I left behind, Though I wish I Could, I can not lessen your pain. All I can tell you, isthis isn't the end.

I can't take the torment of unanswered questions, thet your grief stricken heart so desperatly needs, I can not bring out the sunshine or stop the rain, Just believe when I tell you This is not the end.

I know it is hard for you to understand, Even though you no longer can see me. I'm still here holding your hand. In time your broken heart will mend, then you will realize, this wasn't the end.

Don't look down on my grave for answers Instead lift up your eyes and you'll see, though my body now rests under the grass My spirit is free. Don't weep for me I'll say it again, this isn't the end.

Once the shadow of doubt has been lifted, many signs your way I'll send, it is only then that you will understand. This is another begining. This isn't the end.

In Loving Memory Of Our Father

Dearest Dad, I've come to say, How much I miss your loving smile. Even when you got firm with me, you were never hostile.

Your loving hands were gentle. When I'd fall, your help I's need. Your eyes were full of love, And your advice then I would heed.

I remember how at Christmas time, you would put my toys together, You enjoyed them just as much as I. Because you were my father.

I know your life was busy, Dad, But there was always time for us. You boldly faced the ups and downs and never made a fuss.

I'd tell you how much I depend on you, for advice that only you could give, I'd tell you how much I miss your laugh, and  my childhood I would relive.

What happened to all those wonderful times, When I always looked up to you ? For no matter what happened in my life You made my gray skies turn blue.

Always know I Love You Dad, No one could take your place. And when I close my eyes at night, I see your smiling face. I know you've done your work on earth, and God has taken you home. I'll see you Dad when I get there, When I meet God at his throne.

It was the shocking news, that brought tears to my eyes. And you made me remember what it was like to cry. On that dreadful day, God decided it was your time, your time to go, so He took your life away,
And everyone felt the pain, the pain that you had been suffering for so long. It's harder than I ever thought life could be without you. So the family will always think of you, And we will always know that you'll be looking down on us keeping us safe making sure every thing goes okay in our lives, making sure that we live a good life just like you did until the day that God decided that it was your time to go and we cried as the rain fell that day.
Little drops of rain, whisper of the pain, tears of love lost in the days gone by. I hope you were watching the day the family gathered around your casket to see you lying there cold faced with the look of happiness on your face knowing that we were all there to show you that we cared a lot about you no matter how much you think we didn't care. But the day we gathered around your cold faced body proved we cared.

IT IS SO HARD WITH BRUCE GONE.....

THAT IS SO HARD TO COME OUT OF MY MOUTH....BRUCE GONE....IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.....

I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD NOT BE AROUND TO SEE HIS CHILDREN GROW UP...I NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD NOT BE HERE TO SEE ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT WE PLANED TO DO TOGETHER.....

I GUESS NO ONE EVER PLANS ON BEING TAKEN AWAY SO QUICKLY.....NO ONE PLANS ON LEAVING THEIR FAMILY BEHIND WITH UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND NOT KNOWING WHY SOMEONE WOULD DO THIS TO SUCH A CARING, AND GIVING PERSON.....BUT THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THE ANSWER TO...

BRUCE HAS BEEN GREATLY MISSED EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT HE HAS BEEN GONE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MISSED EVERYDAY UNTIL HE IS REUNITED WITH HIS FAMILY IN HEAVEN.....

WE LOVE YOU BRUCE.......

BRUCE WAS ALWAYS SO FUNNY ABOUT THE TYPE OF MUSIC HE LISTENED TO, BUT I AM THE SAME WAY. IF YOU EVER WENT INTO A POOL HALL AND THERE WAS COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING HE WAS THE ONE WHO PLAYED IT. SO IN HIS MEMORY I AM PUTTIN UP THE LYRICS TO A SONG HE USED TO SING TO ME.

AS I LAY BY YOUR SIDE AND HOLD YOU TONIGHT,

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND,

THIS LOVE THAT I FEEL IS SO RIGHT AND SO REAL,

AND I REALIZE HOW LUCKY I AM.

AND SHOULD YOU EVER WONDER IF MY LOVE IS TRUE,

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I WANNA MAKE CLEAR TO YOU.

THERE'S NO WAY I COULD MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU,

THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'D EVEN TRY,

IF I HAD TO SURVIVE, WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE,

I KNOW I WOULDN'T LAST A DAY,

OH BABY, THERE'S NO WAY.

IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME, WHENEVER I SEE,

THAT "WANTING ME LOOK" IN YOUR EYES,

I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD DO WITHOUT,

HOLDING YOU CLOSE EVERY NIGHT.

I'VE WAITED SO LONG JUST TO HAVE YOU TO HOLD,

AND NOW THAT I'VE GOT YOU, I'LL NEVER LET GO.

THERE'S NO WAY I COULD MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU,

THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'D EVEN TRY,

IF I HAD TO SURVIVE, WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE,

I KNOW I WOULDN'T LAST A DAY,

OH BABY, THERE'S NO WAY.

I NEVER KNEW UNTIL YOU, WHAT I WAS MISSING,

NOW YOU SAY FOREVER, AND I FIND MY HEART IS LISTENING.

YES I'M LISTENING.

THERE'S NO WAY I COULD MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU,

THERE'S NO WAY I'D EVEN TRY,

IF I HAD TO SURVIVE, WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE,

I KNOW I WOULDN'T LAST A DAY,

OH BABY, THERE'S NO WAY.

GOT A PICTURE OF YOU, I CARRY IN MY HEART

CLOSE MY EYES TO SEE IT WHEN THE WORLD GETS DARK

GOT A MEMORY OF YOU, I CARRY IN MY SOUL

I WRAP IT CLOSE AROUND ME WHEN THE NIGHTS GET COLD

IF YOU ASKED ME HOW I'M DOIN I'D SAY JUST FINE

BUT THE TRUTH IS BABY, IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU

AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU'RE STILL WITH ME IT'S TRUE

SOMEHOW YOU REMAIN LOCKED SO DEEP INSIDE

BABY, BABY, OH BABY, NOT A DAY GOES BY

I STILL WAIT FOR THE PHONE IN TE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

THINKIN YOU MIGHT CALL ME IF YOUR DREAMS DON'T TURN OUT RIGHT

AND IT STILL AMAZES ME THAT I LIE HERE IN THE DARK

WISHIN YOU WERE NEXT TO ME, YOUR HEAD AGAINST MY HEART

IF YOU ASKED ME HOW I'M DOIN I'D SAY JUST FINE

BUT THE TRUTH IS BABY, IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU

AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU'RE STILL WITH ME IT'S TRUE

SOMEHOW YOU REMAIN LOCKED DEEP INSIDE

BABY, BABY, OH BABY, NOT A DAY GOES BY

MINUTES TURN TO HOURS AND THE HOURS TO DAYS

SEEMS IT'S BEEN FOREVER THAT I'VE FELT THIS WAY

NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU

AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU'RE STILL LOCKED SO DEEP INSIDE

BABY, BABY, OH BABY, NOT A DAY GOES BY.

I WANTED TO PUT UP THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG. IT WAS WRITTEN AND SUNG BY CRISS ANGEL ALONG TIME AGO WHEN HIS FATHER DIED.. (CRISS ANGEL IS KNOWN AS AN ILLUSIONIST/MAGICIAN BUT HE ALSO WRITES AND SINGS MUSIC ALSO)

WHY AREN'T YOU HERE ?
WHY DOES LIFE SEEM SO UNFAIR ?
YOU WERE STRENGTH IN MY DARKEST DAYS
NOW HOW CAN I FACE THE WORLD ALONE ?
 - I NEED YOU HERE.

GOD TELL ME WHY ?
MY FRIEND IS GONE AND I'LL
GIVE UP EVERYTHING TO BE WITH YOU.
SO TELL ME WHY - MY FRIEND IS GONE
WHY GOD - MY FRIEND IS GONE
TELL ME WHY MY FRIEND IS GONE.

WON'T YOU COME BACK TO ME
IN MY DREAMS I WANT TO SEE
ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE COME TRUE
AND TO HAVE ONE MORE TIME - WITH YOU.

FORGIVE MY NEGATIVITY
THIS WORLD IS COLD AND EMPTY
THEY TELL ME TIME WILL HEAL THE PAIN.
BUT I KNOW I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
WITHOUT YOU - I NEED YOU HERE.

ALL THAT I AM IS DUE TO YOU
DO YOU SEE THAT YOU LIVE IN ME.
ETERNALLY I'LL ALWAYS BE
CONNECTING AND REFLECTING TO YOUR MEMORY.
CAN YOU SEE ME ? CAN YOU FEEL ME ?
CAN YOU HEAR ME ? CAN YOU HEAL ME ?
I CAN'T TAKE THIS.. I CAN'T FAKE THIS..
I CAN'T SHAKE THIS.. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR>
I NEED YOU HERE - PLEASE..... 

I HAVE COME TO REALIZE.

THAT TIME IS SO DEAR,

WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER HERE.

I CLING TO MEMORIES,

SWEET BITTER MEMORIES,

THAT BRINGS YOU NEAR.

IF ONLY I CAN TOUCH YOU AGAIN.

WITHOUT BRINGING BACK THE PAIN.

FEELING YOUR PRESENCE

THAT YOU ARE NOT REALLY

VERY FAR AWAY.

THAT WOULD BRING BACK THE JOY

AND MAJIC OF BEING TOGETHER.

I KNOW YOU ARE

JUST A WHISPER AWAY.

WRITTEN BY:  NICK ALCANTARA

I WANT TO DEDICATE THIS TO JULIE.

"DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL"

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO DO OVER, I'D HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO BE MY DAD ONCE MORE.

EVEN IF IT MEANT LOSING YOU AGAIN. IT'S WOTH ALL THE TEARS IN THE WORLD.

YOU WERE MY SUNSHINE WHEN SKIES WERE GRAY.

I LOVED YOU AND HONORED YOU.....

YOU TOOK ALL MY TEARS AWAY....

I WAS HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU, AND PROUD TO BE YOUR LITTLE  GIRL.

SOMETIMES WE WOULD ARGUE, BUT I KNOW YOU LOVED ME STILL THE SAME.

YOUR TIME SEEMED ALL TOO SHORT AND I FEEL SO ALONE.


MY HEART IS COMPLETELY CRUSHED...

BYT NOTHING LOVED IS EVER LOST- AND YOU WERE LOVED SO MUCH....

"THE LAST NIGHT"



YOU NEVER KNEW THAT NIGHT WOULD BE YOUR LAST.

WE NEVER KNEW YOU'D BE A PART OF OUR PAST.

WE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GONE.

WE MISS YOU SO MUCH.

WE'LL NEVER AGAIN SEE YOU, NEVER FEEL YOUR TOUCH.

OR HEAR YOUR LAUGH, OR YOUR LOVELY VOICE.

IT IS SO SAD, THIS WAS NOT YOUR CHOICE.

SOME BARELY KNEW YOU, SOME NEW YOU WELL.

SOME WISH THEY'D BEEN THERE TO CATCH YOU, WHEN YOU FELL.

BUT AS MUCH AS WE TRY, YOU'RE IN A BETTER PLACE NOW.

FOR YOU TO BE FORGOTTEN, WE WILL NOT ALLOW.

YOU'RE IN OUR MINDS, AND YOU'RE IN OUR HEARTS.

OF OUR LIVES YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A PART.........

THEY THAT LOVE BEYOND THE WORLD CANNOT BE SEPARATED BY IT. DEATH CANNOT KILL WHAT NEVER DIES.....




DEATH ENDS LIFE NOT A RELATIONSHIP......




DEATH IS NOTHING ELSE BUT GOING HOME TO GOD. THE BOND OF LOVE WILL BE UNBROKEN FOR ALL ETERNITY......

THEY THAT LOVE BEYOND THE WORLD CAN NOT BE SEPARATED BY IT.

DEATH CAN NOT KILL WHAT NEVER DIES.

DEATH CAN NOT KILL MY LOVE FOR YOU.......

I LOVE YOU.........

A MEMORY

SUDDENLY YOU WERE STANDING THERE,

I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.

MOMENTS AGO YOU WERE A MEMORY,

KNOWN WITH SO MANY GOOD-BYES.

YOU WERE BACK FOR ONLY A MOMENT,

A MOMENT LEFT IN TIME.

BUT, I'M GLAD YOU WERE THERE,

EVEN FOR A LITTLE TIME.

NOW YOU'RE GONE AGAIN,

AGAIN IT SEEMS, I'VE LOST MY BEST FRIEND.

YOU NOW JUST SEEM TO BE A MEMORY,

ONE THAT WILL NEVER END.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY LOVE.........

I LONG TO BE WITH YOU,

IN YOUR ARMS,

TO HEAR YOU WHISPER,

THAT YOU LOVE ME.

I LONG FOR THE MOMENT......

WHEN WE CAN BE TOGETHER AGAIN.

I KEEP A VERY SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU IN MY HEART.

A PLACE THAT IS ALWAYS FILLED WITH WARMTH AND HAPPY

FEELINGS TOO. FEELINGS THAT JUST NATURALLY IS A PART OF LOVING YOU.....

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE.

TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU, TO SAY

WHAT NOW MUST BE ONE LONG, UNBROKEN CRY

OF PAIN. NOW THAT AT LAST YOU'VE GONE AWAY,

I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT A JOY IT WAS,

TO BE THE ONE TO TEND TO YOUR EVERY NEED.

THE BURDEN WAS A GIFT, FOR GIVING DOES NOT BURDEN

ONE WHO LOVES.I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH YOU.

WHEN YOU WERE PERHAPS AWARE, THAT YOU WOULD BE TURNING

TOWARDS DEATH ALONE, WITH NO ONE THERE TO HELP YOU.

NO ONE THERE TO SHARE YOUR FEAR, YOUR HAND

YOUR ONE LAST BREATH.

I WISH,  I WISH,  I WISH.....BUT IT IS DONE,

AND NOW I MUST SURRENDER WHAT IS GONE.

I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS

YOUR NOT HERE ANYMORE

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY,

SO ALL I DO IS LAY HERE AND CRY.

NOTHING IS RIGHT ANYMORE

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR GONE

AND I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN GO ON

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT ANYMORE

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO

I'M JUST SO LOST WITHOUT YOU.

ALL I KNOW IS I STILL LOVE YOU

YOU TAUGHT ME THINGS....

LIKE HOW TO GROW...

YOU TAUGHT ME...

NEVER TO LET GO...

NOW THAT YOUR GONE...

I'LL HOLD TRUE...

THIS THOUGHT...

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU...

I WISH I COULD UNREMEMBER,

EVERYTHING MY HEARTS BEEN THROUGH

I'M FINDING OUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO,

IT'S NO USE.

I CAN'T UNLOVE YOU....

I HAVE TROUBLE ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GONE, SO I WON'T...

IT'LL BE LIKE WE WENT FOR AWHILE WITHOUT SEEING EACH OTHER.

BUT I CAN SEE WHY GOD WOULD WANT YOU CLOSER TO HIM,

CAUSE YOU TRULY WERE AN ANGEL ON EARTH.

THE GATEWAY OF LIFE

WE SAY GOODBYE BUT NOT FOREVERMORE;

THE CALL BUT SUMMONS TO YON FARTHER SHORE.

AND WHEN WE TOO EMBARK IT IS NOT FOR THE DARK OF UNKNOWN SEAS, BUT FOR THE WELCOME MEETING WITH LOVED ONES GONE BEFORE, WHO WAIT OUR GREETING.

LIVING IN HOPE AND FAITH, WE FEAR NOT DEATH; TIS BUT THE GATE OF LIFE.

THE POWER WHO PITIES MAN HAS SHOWN A BLESSING FOR THE EYES THAT WEEP.

THE LIGHT OF SMILES SHALL FILL AGAIN THE LIDS THAT OVERFLOW WITH TEARS; AND WEARY, HOURS OF WOE AND PAIN ARE PROMISES OF HAPPIER YEARS.

THERE IS A DAY OF SUNNY REST FOR EVERY DARK AND TROUBLED NIGHT; AND GRIEF MAY BIDE, AN EVENING GUEST, BUT JOY SHALL COME WITH EARLY LIGHT.

FOR GOD HATH MARKED EACH SORROWING DAY AND NUMBERED EVERY SECRET TEAR, AND HEAVENS LONG AGE OF BLISS SHALL PAY FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN SUFFER HERE.

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT

FOR WE KNOW THAT IF THE EARTHLY HOUSE OF OUR TABERBNACLE WERE DISOLVED; WE HAVE A BUILDING FROM GOD, A HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS.

CORINTHIANS 5;1

IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS; IF IT WERE NOT SO I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF.

JOHN 14:2 & 3

FOR I RECKON THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY WHICH SHALL BE REVEALED IN US.

ROMAS 4;18

WAIT ON THE LORD; BE OF GOOD COURAGE AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN THINE HEART.

PSALM  27;14

GOD HATH NOT PROMISED SKIES ALWAYS BLUE,

FLOWER STREWN PATHWAYS ALL OUR LIVES THROUGH:

GOD HATH NOT PROMISED SUN WITHOUT RAIN,

JOY WITH OUT SORROW, OR PEACE WITHOUT PAIN.

BUT GOD HATH PROMISED STRENGTH FOR THE DAY.

REST FOR THE LABOR, LIGHT FOR THE WAY,

GRACE FOIR THE TRIALS, HELP FROM ABOVE,

UNFAILING SYMPATHY AND UNDYING LOVE

AND GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY

ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES AND DEATH SHALL BE NO MORE,

NOR MOURNING, NOR CRYING, NOR SORROW SHALL BE ANY

MORE FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY

REVELATION 21;4

    "  SAYING GOOD-BYE "

SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT YOU,

I HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME.

AS I TURN TO SEE WHO'S CALLING ME,

I SEE NO ONE, I ONLY HEAR YOUR VOICE.

I GLANCE ACROSS THE ROOM,

TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HEARS IT TOO.

BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE THE LOOK ON MY FACE.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH,

I KEEP TELLING YOU,

BUT YOU DON'T SEEM TO HEAR ME.

STILL YOU'RE CALLING OUT MY NAME, ONLY LOUDER,

AS THE TEARS ROLL DOWN MY FACE,

I GLANCE AROUND THE ROOM,

I SEE YOU AMONGST OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

THE LOOK UPON YOUR FACE SAYS YOUR PEACEFUL NOW.

I REALIZE IT'S TIME TO LET YOU GO.

ALTHOUGH I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU.

I TURN MY HEAD TO SEE IF ANYONE NOTICES YOU.

THEN TURN BACK AND YOU'RE GONE.

I HEAR YOU, SO VERY GENTLY SAY,

" I LOVE YOU "                " GOOD-BYE "
