RED
"I don't really know where to start"
Except to say I lost a big part of my heart
My closest, most loyal friend
The One on which I could always depend
To stay beside me while we both mend
When there was no one else around, we were never alone because
each to the other we would tend
All the rules we just broke, forget bend
Keeping me warm at night as I held him tight
Sharing everything we ate down to the last bite
With him around, even the worst times felt alright
Sometimes we talked without anything to say
Warm summer time "Let's run in the yard and play"
Or late at night with that special setter bay
"How about a game of door tag to brighten our day"
A ho hums day with nothing new
Just that nudge on my arm to say "Mikey I Love You"
"You went to Mc'y D's, I smell Big Mac"
"Where is my cheeseburger, I know you brought it back"
"Jeffery ate half a can, again. The rest is my share"
"He just watches so I don't think he'll care"
Big brown eyes in the morning I wake
Never a real bark unless for strangers sake
"Scratch my ears, rub my tummy, here want a paw to shake?"
Uh oh, be careful, watch my tail, am I glad it just fell and didn't break"
All of this was understood nothing was said
Wanting nothing more then a pat on the head
Or make sure he was fed
"Save me my spot it's not just your bed"
I know that you crossed that bridge
and are in a better place
And that some day, I will again feel your nose on my face
So for now I'll send you a kiss
And tell you of the times I'll miss
And the last thing that I tried always to be said
"Don't forget, I LOVE YOU Red"

3/16/1999 CRASH "I love you Dublin, now and always" Michael

Adam
It all happened so fast,
We didn't even get to say good-bye
It was taken away,
At the blink of an eye.
A life well lived, that we all cherished,
Hopes and dreams that all perished.
On this day we come to see you,
We see you lying there,
You look so peaceful and at ease,
It is now that we don't care.
We love you forever, and will miss you so much
And still we don't know why or how,
But it's at this moment we know,
You are in a better place now.

Kenneth F. Smartt
Father, husband, brother, nephew, my best friend.
I see him when I look into his childrens eyes
I see him when I am in the dark with just my lonely cries
I feel his presence when I play his guitar
I feel his touch but only from afar
If I could say to him just one thing
I would say I'm glad he finally has the peace and
love that only God could bring
His troubled mind and sorrow is no more
and I will be with him again and
together through the heavens we will soar
We miss him so very much, always......JS. See Kenneth F. Smartt
