Harry Robison

If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. Rest in Peace Harry. We love you more than words can express and will miss you so much.
