In loving memory of our beloved son and brother Peter "P.J." McClaine, who passed away twenty-eight years ago September 7th.

You bade no one a last farewell,

Nor ever said "Goodbye"

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried,

If love alone could save you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still,

In our hearts you hold a place

No one can ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.
