But if by chance you don't make it up there, I will continue to keep you in prayer. I will miss your laughter and your tears I will miss all we shared through the years. I will miss your getting up and your falling down I will miss your smile, I will miss your frown. I will miss the way you sat and talked I will miss the way you tumble and walked. But most of all I will miss your face But one day I will see you at the same place. I will miss you my brother For you are going to be with your mother. In my life there is another, And He too is a dear brother. Our Gratitude The family of the late Jimmie Ceaser Vinson expresses sincere appreciation for the many expressions of concern and friendship extended during his illness and our bereavement. May God abundantly bless you.
