The fish will keep swimming that you can count upon,
& the Campfires they will burn on.
The stars will keep shining as from the start,
As the memories imprinted in my mind & the Love written on my heart.
The boats will continue to float & life won't stop because your heart did.
That which is will be, as you were when you were a kid.
A little piece of us went with you,
just as a little of you stayed here too. Each day we'll see you,
in the ocean,
in the garden,
in the blue.
Our hearts will always carry a part of you.
And a little of us died too.


I Love you Granpa!

Aunt Mary I am so sad to hear about the loss of Uncle Irvin. I have such good memories of you and your family coming to see us when I was a little girl. May God bless you and your family and give you peace. Love to all.

Deepest sympathies. My name is John M. Thomas, Jr., and my great-grandmother was Ila Cockfield. Her son, Wyman Cockfield, was my grandfather, and Bessie Cockfield my grandmother. I think my great-grandmother was the sister of the deceased's father. You don't see the last name very often, so I thought I would send a note. My email address is [email protected], and I would welcome any email. Ila died at age 100 in 1989, and my grandmother died at 95 in 2007.
