A Loving Son, Brother, Uncle and Cousin in Heaven As the sun sets upon this life and your body is laid to rest I know you’ll be up in Heaven because God only takes the best. I know you’re watching over me and it takes away the pain I will carry you in my heart until we meet again. My world is a little darker now that we’re apart But the memories are shining brightly within this broken heart. You touched the lives of those you loved and we wanted you to stay But you were needed up in Heaven and God whispered “Come this way.” I know whenever I’m lonely and this smile becomes a frown I’ll look up to the sky above and they’ll be an Angel looking down.
