June 25, 1952 -- April 23, 2001

It's just not fair.
This is something I'd never dare.
You were always here for me.
Now, it's you that I can't see.
You'll never again be here.
Just thinking about it gives me tears.
How could you be taken away from me this way?
I'll never forget it to this day.
When you left, it hurt a lot of people.
Before we knew it, you were under a steeple.
I was only seven.
My brother was almost eleven.
You loved us so much.
We returned the favor, as such.
Even though I'm so sad,
You'll be forever as my dad.

RIP James Thomas Thrasher III
You were a good father and a great person.
We love you.
