About the Poem
This poem was written in dedication to my brother who was tragically killed in an accident while on vacation with his girlfriend in Antigua. I was proud to read it at his Memorial Service on May 14, 1999. Sadly he was only 33 years old and will be deeply missed by many.

Goodbye, My Brother |

My brother Greg an awesome guy, I don't know why you had to die. You were so cute as a little boy, You smiled at us and brought us joy. Even though we had our little fights, Over silly things like phone lines and wiring lights, I never wanted to be a pest, I needed your skills, cause you're the best. I'm glad those times, were only a few, It was hard for me to argue with you, But that's just me, as you are you, And in the end you always came through. This is Lanesville where you are from, We all are here with Deb and Mom, Our hearts are broken, as you know, We really can't bear to let you go. Sometimes you were so crazy and loony, Especially with the friends who call you "Cooney", I know that everyone here will agree with me, That the Lanesville Crew is the best there could ever be. We wish so much that you were here, Or just down "The Cove" havin' a beer. It's happy thoughts that will get us through, Like all the fun we shared with you. And now my poem will come to an end, Until the day we meet again, I pray that you are now at peace. Goodbye Greg With Love From Lis |

I really like your poem. I lost my brother on December 10, 2006. He was drunk driving and fliped into a creek and couldn't get out. Luckily the passangers got out and survived. But like I said it was a great poem and had alot of meaning in it.

Hi, my name is Melissa, from Oklahoma city, and i just read your poem and i honestly have to say that i liked and and i feel your pain. I know exactly what your going through because i too lost my brother not too long ago about 3 months ago this Martin Luther Kind day he was still young and we don't know why he had to go, only God knows that and we have to accept the fact that he is in a better place now. But yah just letting you know that there is someone out there feeling your pain. In loving Memory to all the ones we love may they rest in paradise.

Everyone does not mourn the same'cause we all love differently. I am sorry you lost your brother, I lost mine when he was 31. The pain/ saddness is with me everyday but so is the joy of having in my life as long as I did. His memory now lives on through my children as well as his. Take care Ellen

I have voted this poem as I found it really moving. I lost my brother last year and it still hurts alot. What you have done is gave him something that he can be remembered by because thats the scariest part - being forgotten. Take Care Michelle Shearer
