One brother, Paul Blocker, preceded her in death.
Who knows what to say at a time like this.
The whole thing seems unreal to me.
The last thing you said to me was goodbye;
And that was only because I was telling you
""
That I was home from school.
Who knew that when you said goodbye,
It would be forever.
I cant get my thoughts together,
But what I do know is
^ *
That I love you and I will miss you.
May God have mercy on your soul.
I love you forever and always.
