In Memory of Pepoppie

Missing My Pepop
It’s only been a year today
Some days it seems a lifetime away
But then, I’ll swear just yesterday
I talked to you about my day

We miss you more than you can know
Pepop, you helped our lives to glow
With love and laughter year after year
And now we miss you with every shed tear.

Heaven’s much sweeter with you up there
We continue to live life, just wishing you could share
The laughter and love of Ellie Grace
The sweet times of family in one place.

Our hearts will always ache for you
While we live on earth, continuing to do
The living and loving you taught us to know
As you helped us all to learn and grow.

I love you more than words can say
So know I’ll always remember you this way,
With a smile and a hand, as we danced away
To a song whose words hold so true today. . .






Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ...
Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm, Just the way you look to-night.

Hi there! First of all, I just wanted to say thanks so much for coming to visit me! I'm so glad you stopped by! I'm not sure how I haven't ever been here to visit your blog. I was reading your profile and laughing because I am also a die hard Diet Coke drink and MAJOR rule follower, LOL!

This was such a sweet post today!
