We saw Joe often at the Auto Supply store and we are going to miss him sorely. Poem by Joanna Fuchs If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say. If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew. If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You’d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would. Sigh…. Carolyn”
