Gilbert and family,
It is so painful to lose two such wonderful sons at one time. I know they were the joy of your life and brought much strength to you. They both admired their dad and were the first to say so. Take comfort in knowing that the two of them are resting in their mom's arms now and all three are your guardian angels.
Our deepest prayers go out for you to have strength and comfort at this time. Know that we are here when you need us.
All our prayers, Glenda and family

I heard this poem last week at a funeral and thought how true it is.
LIFE BETWEEN THE DASH
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
from the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came his date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years. (1934 -1998)
For that dash represents all the time
that he spent alive on earth...
and now only those who loved him
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash,
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile...
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash...
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your dash?

I will miss you. You both were like brothers and to me you will be forever known as Thomas. My heart goes out to Uncle Gilbert, Misty and everyone else.
