Those we Love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
because a loved one is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart.
For as long as there is a memory,
they'll live on in our heart.

I will Miss you but Never Forget You...You were such a Great Friend Growing up together and remained a Friend for life....Try to hold the gate open for me Buddy....
