In Memory of Joe S. Lobato-November 20, 2008

No words we write can ever say

How much we miss you every day.

As time goes by, the loneliness grows;

How we miss you, nobody knows!

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name,

But all we have are memories

And photos in a frame.

No one knows our sorrow,

No one sees us weep,

But the love we have for you

Is in our hearts to keep.

We will never stop loving you

We’re sure we never will;

Deep inside our heart,

You are with us still.

Heartaches in this world are many

But ours is worse than any.

Our heart still aches as we whisper low,

“We need you and we miss you so.”

The things we feel so deeply

Are often the hardest to say,

But we just can’t keep quiet any more,

So we’ll tell you anyway.

There is a place in our hearts

That no one else can fill;

We love you so,

And we always will.

Your Wife, Lillie, and your children, Inez, Dan, Rick, Stel, Susie, Mel, Martha and Tom, and your grandchildren
