In Our Hearts
We thought of you today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
-Love Ivey Gutter and Family
I talked to Mac the day before he left and told him, “Blood don’t you leave me” he said “I’m going to be alright.” He left me in the physical but he will always be with me spiritually. I know he’s ok cause now he’s with momma and daddy.
-Love your brother Ivey Gutter
