Robert Lee, 
 
You were loving and special to us. Since you were born on 
 
September 23, 1929, we could share all of our hopes, 
 
dreams, and cares with you. God blessed Mother and Dad 
 
with a son that lights up our lives. Now that you're gone, we 
 
will miss you. We will see you again at home on high. We 
 
love you. 
 
Elizabeth and Adele 
 
 When Tomorrow Starts W ithout Me 
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see; If the sun rises and find your eyes, All filled with tears for me; 
|/ wish so much you wouldn't cry, The way you did today, ! While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. 
j / know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, 
That an Angel called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, in heaven far above, 
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. 
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
