Don't think of him
As gone away-
His journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets-
This earth is only one...
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And he was loved so much.
---E. Brenneman--
HE WAS MY BROTHER TOO
My parents have lost a most beautiful son
My grandmother is seeing them through,
Even cousins seek comfort from family and friends,
But remember he was my brother too.
As much as you’ll miss him you will never know
How special the bond we shared,
Of love and of mischief and of secrets held close,
About things only the two of us cared.
I know you may think we weren’t friendly at times
We fought, we argued, we told,
But when the going got tough and I needed some help,
He was there with a strong hand to hold.
Adults may confer and children may play
And sisters have a bond all their own;
But the one God has called is more special to me,
Even without him I don’t feel alone.
I know we’ll all see him one day with great joy
He’ll greet the thousands of people he knew;
But I know he’ll save something special– only for me,
Because he was my brother too.
I Love You and Miss You Bub!

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.
He said, "Mommy you've got to listen,
You've got to understand.
God didn't take me from you, Mommy
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand
This page is in rememberance of my brother. His name is Cecil P. Maggard Jr. He was born June 22, 1978 and passed away January 16, 2004. He was 25 yrs old. He was married with a beautiful son who's name is Cameron. My brother was a wonderful man, husband and daddy. He loved his son and his family more than anything in this world. Bub passed away in his sleep from an accidental drug overdose. He is now our Guardian Angel in Heaven. We all will forever miss him. Please leave him comments and visit this page often........I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH BUB !!!!
Who I'd like to meet: When Tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
The angel said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
That I would have to leave behind,
All those I dearly loved.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home,
For God look down smiled at me,
And told me welcome home.
So when Tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For everytime you think of me,
I'm right there in your heart!
I Love you Bub, Your Sis, Gina
A LETTER FROM HEAVEN - Author, Unknown
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to Me.
