Sorry but the formatting is giving me a little trouble.

What Do I say

What can I say to you Jay?

What can I say now?

You've left us early and you left suddenly.

You who are in my earliest of memories.

What can I say to the man who was my father's friend and my dear cousin.

What to say to the man who played with me as a child

Taught me to eat green beans

And to use a fishing rod.

You even taught that child which was me to button his own pants

Do I simply say I will miss you?

No.

Do I say I hope you are happy where you are now?

No.

Do I miss you?

Very much so.

Do I hope that you are happy there with God?

I know you are.

I know you are missed here by others as well

And I know you cared about those other's too.

Your Children, Your Wife, Your Mother

Your Brother your Sister.

They were all there this morning.

They watched a the others and I carried you to your final rest.

You know I still remember what you said.

I remember that bet.

You said when you were gone no one would cry for you.

Well Jay I think I know what to say to you now.

I win.

Because today many cried for you.
