Family meant the world to Troy!
Those who share laughter, joy and sorrow,
Those who share memories, hopes and tomorrows,
Not bound just by ties at birth,
But by our journeys on this earth.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
-Author Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realize, that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne.
He said "This is eternity, and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free,
so won't you take my hand and share your life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

Brian's Journeys Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away,
His Journeys just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing,
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness,
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living in.
The hearts of those he touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And he was loved so much.

The 'Twenty-Third' Bush Ballard
(Psalm 23)
.
God is the Station Owner and I am just one of his sheep.
He Musters me down to the lucerne flats
and feeds me there all week..
.
When I'm feeling poorly and sometimes less than my peak,
He leads me to the restfuness of a coolabah-shaded creek.
.
He teaches me not to break away, not to be a loner;
He teaches me to stick with the mob
and acknowledge him as my Owner.
.
Even when the droughts are bad and I cross the Desert of Death
God is close beside me, So close I can feel his breath.
.
God is the one who guarantees provision for my protection.
Although there are dingos in the hills and the paddocks are full of
snakes, God serves up a barbecue of beautiful T-bone steaks!
His patience and compassion and forgiveness fail me never;
And I'II live with him in the Homestead beyond the end of forever.

A Special Angel
- Author Unknown
There's a special angel in heaven, That is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted him, But where god wanted him to be.
He was here just a moment, Like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in heaven, He isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many, Like only an angel can do.
I would've held him more often, If the end I only knew.
So I send this special message, To the heaven's up above.
Please take care of my angel, And send him all my love.
- Mummy loves you Shaun.

I still feel your love
-Author unknown
I know you're gone from this earth, You left me way to soon.
But I feel your love every time, I gaze up at the moon.
Sometimes I think I hear, a whisper in the wind.
It sounds as if you've called my name, As your love to me you send.
Sometimes I do a silly thing, and your laughter fills my ears.
I know you're right here with me, But I can't see you through my tears.
I felt your hand upon my shoulder, and I quickly turned to see,
visible.....You where not,
But I know you're here with me.
In the night you sometimes come, to visit me in my dreams.
My hands go out to touch you, But your just out of reach it seems.
For just a flash you appear, standing next to me.
Is it just my imagination, or is it really you I see.
Even though you've gone from me, And you watch me from above.
I long for you everyday......And still feel your love.
-Loving father to Tegan.
