In
Loving Memory of
Richard
Carroll Cordero
It broke our hearts to lose
you
but you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you
the day God took you home.
On angels wings you left
us
to watch us from above.
Though we're filled with
sadness
we feel your endless love.
The memories we cling to
help get us through the
day.
Sometimes the tears start
flowing
because we wanted you to
stay.
Our family circle broken
a link gone from the chain.
Although we are now parted
we know we'll meet again.
We love you and miss you
Gina and Christopher
