A Poem of Remembrance (Thinking of You) We sit in our rooms thinking of you‚ thinking of all the things we use to do. We think of you night and day. Just wondering why you had to leave us.

So he said come‚ my child‚ and take your rest because you are one of my best. Your Brothers & Sisters‚ George‚ Willie C‚ MC‚‚ BJ‚ Ollie
