In Rememberance of Roy E. Reed

July 15, 1970 — April 14, 2010

One year ago our hearts were filled with woe

As the angels came and took you away

To a golden mansion in the sky

Where you’ll never hurt and never cry again.

You’re with our Lord and Savior there

Surrounded by light and joy

He’s made your body whole again

And calls you His son, Roy.

Your pain and sadness are forever gone.

Your worries are no more.

Peace and love fill you as you’ve never known before.

While our hearts rejoice at you’re homecoming

And knowing you’re free from this place

They also break with sorrow

And a longing to see your face,

To hear your voice, to touch your hand

But we can’t.

All we have are memories

Of the good times and the bad,

Of what a loving son, brother, husband, nephew, uncle and friend

We were blessed enough to have in you.

We took you for granted

And sometimes misunderstood

How you showed your love

And tried to do good for us all.

We miss you dearly, Roy

And love you with all our hearts.

Although you’re with the Lord now

We’ll never be far apart

For our memories of you live on

And keep you close by

Until our family reunion

With Jesus in the sky.
