A brother is always a brother
and he will forever be
Both born by the same loving mother
you have a strong bond, you and he

This bond no one ever can sever
Even though now you're apart
the bond between you lasts forever
because it's from heart to heart.

So know that you're never alone now
He'll watch you from high above
Moreover, your friends are right here now
to give to you care and love.

You are in our memory still and we miss you so!

'To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to weep,

A time to mourn,
and a time to dance.'

Dearest Sheldon,

There were many things I never got to tell you
And I never got to say goodbye nor did your children.
You will remain in our hearts and thoughts.
We love you, Sheldon (Dad) and know we will
see you again someday in the hereafter.
With love, Dereth, Marilyn, Bobby, Wyatt & Tonya

It is very depressing to lose both my parents and my
brother in the space of two years leaving my heart saddened and bereft
for which I am grateful to my brothers children
for thier loving support during this difficult time in
my life and to my friends at Heavens Angels for their
love and support. And a special thanks to my sister
for allowing me to spend the last month of my Mother's life with her.
I'm sure my brother is looking down upon us and knows we love him.

This is my farewell to my darling brother, with love, Dereth
