    I am sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to all the e-mails that has come in for my brother but I have been a little busy and my thoughts are always with everyone that has written. I try to get on the web site just to check and see if anyone has written anything new. I personally miss him with all my heart and I am sure that the whole family does to. I am glad that there are so many people out there family and friends that care also. I am glad that he is not suffering anymore and that he is with the angels looking over everyone exspecially my mother to this day she is still taking it hard may the Lord look over her. Again thank’s to everyone who cares and has written in the article.

    3/18/2008 “dedicated to allen”(my nephew)
    with your last breath
    you faced death
    now for all eternity
    in heaven you will be
    you suffered so
    till it was your time to go
    i miss you
    even though our closeness we had
    over the years got through
    we grew apart and that makes me sad
    i wish we could have stayed as brothers
    my love for you still stirs
    i won’t forget you
    you were a part of my life it’s true
    your death was and is a shock
    when death came to knock
    you was ready to go
    cause you suffered so
    i’ll see you again
    when i get to heaven
    i know you’re watching me
    from heaven’s balcony
    saying hey alfie
    i’m now pain free
    i know it’s true
    your pain is finally through
    but i still miss you just the same
    i feel sad when i say your name
    my dreams are filled with you
    they make me sad and blue
    i can’t escape the loss of you
    it’s something i can’t do
    i wish i could’ve been with you in your final hour
    but you withered away like a flower
    i couldn’t get to your funeral it’s true
    and that will always make me blue
    you used to be my best friend
    but time caused it to all end
    i regret that we fell apart
    it tears at my heart
    you hold a special place in my memory
    you’ll always stay a part of me
    no matter what i do
    your memory does come through
    my love for you won’t go away
    even though your life did decay
    you died too soon it’s true
    that’s what makes me always blue
    you i miss so
    even though you i didn’t really know
    like i used to
    when we were kids it’s true
    i got to be with you
    right before your life was through
    it tore me apart
    to see the pain that did start
    and come into your eyes
    cause of the cancer that did arise
    now you’re gone
    but your memory will always live on
    i dream of you
    cause i miss you
    even though we fell apart
    cause of years of being apart
    you having cancer
    sure wasn’t the answer
    to a fullfilled life
    it caused you pain and strife
    i’m still in shock over losing you
    my pain will never be through
    it goes on every day
    and it never goes away
    you’ve steped through death’s door
    now you suffer no more
    i’m glad you no longer suffer
    with that horrible cancer
    god took you to heaven
    but i’ll see you again
    then we will be together
    forever and ever
    we’ll be close again
    like we had been
    before we drifted apart
    we will have a new start
    but until then
    i’ll dream of seeing you again
    i’ll keep dreaming of you
    it’s all i know to do
    to be with you
    since your life is through
    i long for you
    this is true
    i know you are happy
    living out a heavenly eternity
    a joy that will never end
    i know jesus is now your best friend

    i love and miss you allen
    uncle alfie
