Ashley Girl (Simons) says
I love you Uncle.
Those special memories of you
Will always bring a smile.
If only I could have you back
Just for a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again,
Just like we used to do.
You always meant so very much
And always will too.
The fact that you’re no longer here
Will always cause me pain,
But you’re forever in my heart
Until we meet again.
