In loving memory of my beloved brother, Col. Harvey Hilliard, who passed away seven years ago on February 13th.

There is always a face before me,

A voice I would love to hear,

A smile I will always remember,

Of a brother I loved so dear.

His life earnest, his actions kind,

A willing hand, an active mind,

Anxious to please, loathe to offend,

A loving brother and a faithful friend.

Your presence I miss,

Your memory I treasure,

Loving you always,

Forgetting you never.

The tears in my eyes I can wipe away,

The ache in my heart will always stay.

Though absent you are very near,

Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
