Phillip E Gabaldon May 27, 1948 - April 18, 2002Tonight as I look at the heavens above, I thanked God for the gift of you and your love. You came and you went, your life so brief. I was left alone in much disbelief But tonight as I look at the heavens above, I see magic among angels and I feel your love, You did not die, you are just peaceful and free, Loving, and giving and waiting for me. So goodnight sweet angel, I love you so. The hardest part was just letting you go. There'll come a time when we will once more, Share all the magic, laughter, and love evermore. The Gabaldon Family
