A light from our lives has gone
A voice we loved is still.
A place is vacant within our hearts
Which never can be filled.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
So rest in peace my big brother
And thanks for all you’ve done.
We pray that God has given you
The crown you’ve truly won
You are now truly Gods Son
Kiss our sister for me and tell her we love her
And as we say it’s never goodbye but always
SEE YOU LATER 
~ Tyesha Mott
