Default Our bother passes.

We lost a brother this week. His name was Tiki and he was found dead by our brother Al. Our brother Tiki was 72 years old. Tiki was a close friend. Tiki loved Harley-Davidson motorcycles. He rode HD before I was born. Tiki’s funeral is this Tuesday. I’m drunk but I think the HD family should know we loss a brother. ****. I miss the SOB. He was always there when I need to talk to my guardian angel. His heart mirrors our Lord Jesus Christ. Tiki’s legal name is Clide Collins. When I got him out of the hospital, I didn’t even know his name. I just told the nurse that I was here to get Tiki the hell out of this hospital.

It's always sad to loose a buddy. You are in my thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Here is a poem that I have found in a similar time. Hopefully it will bring you a tiny speck of comfort and not the other way.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free;
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah, yes: these things I, too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I savored much.
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now; He set me free.

To live on in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.

God speed.
