In loving memory of our precious son and brother, Wade L. Rice, who passed away on December 28, 2005

In a lonely cemetery

Not far away lies a loved

one close to our hearts

Close enough to visit

But not close enough to mend our hearts.

Wade, we loved him with our whole heart.

It was so very hard to part

Though we go on without you

nothing is the same.

Our hearts ache at the mention of your name.

We talk about the good old days

and laugh and smile the same,

but it still hurts inside us when

someone speaks your name.
