In loving memory of my husband, Joseph J. Bratkovich, on the 2nd Anniversary of his death.

October 28, 1948 - May 8, 2013

Speak His Name

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 our ears.
