In My Mind
by Jenn Farrell
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I’ll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
“Life isn’t always fair”
You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
“God really needed me,
That’s why I couldn’t stay”
It’s said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I’ve always had my angel
My brother – whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you
“While there’s a heart in me, you’ll be a part of me.”

Uncle Nelson will always be remembered as the man who towered over top of us when we were little, making sure that we knew that he could always see us from above. Sorry for your loss. He will be dearly missed .
Amie Lambert-Gaudet says
My Dad was the best man I have ever had the sincere pleasure to know. He was a quiet man who loved his family with all his heart. He was a dedicated member of the Tottenham Town Council and an amazing Math teacher at Newmarket High School. He also worked as a security guard at F&P Manufacturing where he is still sorely missed. I have lost a huge piece of my heart and I will miss him until the day I die.
