You are not supposed to bury your children
They are supposed to bury you
It's hard to think this disease had taken him
And there was nothing I can do.

It was so hard to say those words
Because we all loved him so much
I didn't want him to suffer any more
So I had to let him go.

His passing was so hard to handle
But has made us oh so strong
We know the road will be a battle
But he is where he belongs.

It's so hard to believe that it has been 3 years that Alex went to his heavenly home.  Not a day goes by that we miss you more and more Alex!

We Love You Al!
Love Mom e

"With Hope"

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
