In Loving Memory of Wade Sim Grimes # 40
Sept. 7, 1986 - April 12, 2004 Five months doesn't seem long with today's struggles and its strifes.
But it seems like eternity when someone's missing from your life.
The dreams for you may be gone but my love will always remain.
The more things I hear of you have brought you even greater fame.
I always tried to be there for you - to never let you down;
To return to you all the love you willingly spread around.
You were my very pride and joy, NOTHING will be the same -
From pumpkin rolls, wrestling matches, pnut butter no-bakes and football games.
I can still hear you say "Aunt Shell, what do you have good to eat?"
And it was only yesterday I took you to practice for your next meet.
Before my own kids came along, you were my baby with big blue eyes.
I babysat you everyday and loved you as if you were mine.
Now things are different - I'm a proud Mommy of my own two;
Please help me to raise them to be exactly just like you. You never settled for less than giving one hundred percent.
You were a blessing to us all - definitely Heaven-sent.
The children meant alot to you - but Levi was your buddy,
I remember you waiting patiently for him to move in your Mom's belly.
When we saw the movie "Passion" your heart was already given to God above;
But I ask for us left here below - please tell me - "Where is the Love?"
These words have run through my mind and became my favorite song;
Though knowing you are in Heaven really does help me along.
I never missed a game to see #40 on your back
Now it's along the road, in the store and on many peoples shirts and hats.
Your honesty, example and trust made you stand out in a crowd,
But the young man you were inside is what made Aunt Shell very proud.
I know I cannot have you back, though that's my plea EVERY day.
I turn to see your presence - I listen for what you would say.
No matter how many tears I cry, your face I cannot see;
The blessed sound of your voice is now a precious memory.
Feeling you is different. I feel you EVERYWHERE -
And I cannot wait for Heaven cuz I know you'll meet me there.
There's no doubt you knew I loved you - it showed in every way.
I know you loved me too - it was the last thing I heard you say.
It surely isn't easy Wadie; it's a nightmare with no end
Though I know I was very privileged to have such a nephew and a friend.
I know Heaven is sweeter now than it ever was before
And I know you'll meet me at the gate over on the Golden Shore.
I also know God richly rewarded you because you simply were the best!
But ... on my team you will always be ...
A league ABOVE and BEYOND the rest!!!
Sadly missed by your
Aunt Michelle, Uncle Mike and Cousins Mishayla and Mitchell
A poem for u
Here we all sit
In the room with Faded walls,
All we can see are the pictures of u,
Memories and Dreams of all u would do,
U were not onlya brother,a son, nor a friend,
u were a picture of life itself,
sent here to show us we could do eveything and anything,
Wadeu never gave up,
no matt what the odds,
u eyesnever blank,
allways filled with
confidence and love for eveyone and anyone,
u were the best thing to come into my life as a friend,
in 6th gradei told u,
wade when i have a baby
give it the confidence u have,
and u told me u would do your best,
now, on May 10,2005
i will be haveing a baby,
and i pray that it has everything u had,
i hope it can be as proud of baby,
as i was allways proud of u,my friend
now all we have are memories that will never fade away,
as we drive down the road,
we will see u riding shotgun with us
and we will see the big smile u allways had,
and we will ask god to take care of u,
untill we can come to heaven to do the job,
WADE YOU WILL
ALLWAYS BE OUR SUPERMAN.
