In Loving Memory
I HAVE ALOT OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF MY UNCLE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WE WORKED ALOT OF YEARS TOGETHER AT C.B.&I MY DEEPEST THOUGHTS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY.
--Wishing You Near-- 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 magic Of being again Together I know you are Just a whisper away. by Nick Alcantara
