Your humor is a lastingmemory in our hearts, Nothing in this world not even lifeor death can keep us apart,
You havealwaysbeen the one we go to for advise, Whenever we are just upset, or even just abit uptight. You alwaysseem to know the right thing to do and say,
But don't worry you're still the one we go to, We'll be together again one day,
We want to say thank you for being the best that you could be, You're our confidant,our bestfriend,and the head ofourfamily.
We do believe that even though you're not here with us, this will never be goodbye,
We love you and the happiness you have given us will last a life time. Together we have cried an ocean oftears As we feel so empty and hold many fears,
But good ol' Mr. Law would want us to know he's in abetter place and that he'swatching us all with a smile on his face, As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be That he has raised such a beautiful and special family. And now I would like to thank the good Lord above For blessing us with our
Granddaddy, Father,Uncle,Brother, Friend,and Husband with his kindness and love
Dear God, ifit is not too much fuss take extra special care of Mr. Law as he is very dear to us.
Granddaddy ifyou are listening say aprayerfor us every day Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know we miss you and love you so. -Candace Calloway
