In loving memory of my husband, Joseph J. Bratkovich, on his 68th birthday.

October 28, 1948 - May 8, 2013

Someone I love has gone away

And life is not the same.

The greatest gift that you can give

Is just to speak his name

I need to hear the stories

And the tales of days gone past

I need for you to understand

These memories must last

I cannot make more memories

Since he’s no longer here

So when you speak of him to me

It’s music to my ears.

Love for now and always, Maureen
