| Gone But Not Forgotten Brother when you weep for me Remember that it was meant to be Lay me down and when you leave Remember I'll be at your sleeve In every dark and choking hall I'll be there as you slowly crawl On every roof in driving snow I'll hold your coat and you will know In cellars hot with searing heat At windows where a gate you meet In closets where young children hide You know I'll be there at your side The house from which I now respond Is over staffed with heroes gone Men who answered one last bell Did the job and did it well As firemen we understand That death's a card dealt in our hand A card we hope we never play But one we hold there anyway That card is something we ignore As we crawl across a weakened floor For we know that we're the only prayer For anyone that might be there So remember as you wipe your tears The joy I knew throughout the years As I did the job I loved to do I pray that thought will see you through. Anyone who has ever been in the Fire Service for any length of time knows that you gain "another Family. Joe and Kip were a big part of that Family. And they will be "Greatly" missed by all who knew and loved them. As I sit here and make this page for our fallen brothers I am speechless for once in my life, for there are no words to describe what an impact they made on each and everyone of us. All I can say, and I know I speak for every one is that WE LOVE AND MISS YOU Joe and Kip, You Guys may be gone but, You will NOT be Forgotten !! |
