Gonzales -- RUDY R. GONZALES (RUDDOG) January 29, 1954 - February 2, 2001 I do not need a special day To bring you to my mind The days I do not think of you Are very hard to find. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache As I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness. And secret tears will flow. What it's meant to loose you No one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you Your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. There will always be heartache, And often a silent tear. But always a precious memory, Of the day when you where here, If tears would make a staircase, And heartaches make a lane I'd walk the path to Heaven And bring you home again. I hold you close within my heart And there you will remain, To walk with me throughout my life Until we meet again. Our family chain is broken now, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Your Loving Family
