(On my trip back to my childhood this past week, we placed an engraved stone on the grave of my little baby brother who died at three days old.He died in the midst of the great depression and there was no money for a stone at the time. We had a beautiful little ceremony and there were sisters, nieces and nephews and grand and great-grands in attendance.)

Wayne Leroy

Dear sweet baby, uncle, brother
We're remembering you today.
You must have been so lonely
With your family far away.

We mark this spot with this small stone,
To show we did not forget you.
You're loved by these dear people
Even though they never met you.

We know you're with the others
Who have found their way to heaven.
You're enfolded by your parents
And four siblings out of seven.

As we mark your resting place today
We pray you know we're here
Sending prayers and love to you
And the others we held so dear.
