TEX REYNOLDS

Tex Reynolds departed this life to Spend eternity with Jesus and to be with Loretta his wife.

I have Alzheimer’s, but just the same,

Tex Reynolds is still my name,

my mind has been robbed by Alzheimer’s disease,

Do not ask me to remember,

Don’t try to make me understand,

Let me rest and know you’re with me,

Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.,

Sometimes I’m sad, and shed a tear,

Sometimes Its, scary and lots of fear,

Sometimes I smile just because I know you are here

Sometimes hard to swallow when I try to eat.

But banana pudding is still a treat.

I can’t find the words I would like to say

it’s hard for me dayto-day

Do not loose your patience with me

Do not be angry and scold me

How difficult it must be for you,

To watch me become less of the person you once knew

My body is here, but my mind is not.

The things we once shared, I may have forgot.

This will be our longest goodbye.

For the mind of the person you love, is slowing and will die.

I will not act or behave like the person I once was.

But please remember, it’s not something I have control of.

I’m sorry for this burden I put on you.

There will be some rough days, with teary eyes and hearts of blue.

But let the love of so many years carry us the rest of the way.

Because this is not forever and our souls will meet again one day, in Heaven!

do not stand at my grave and weep for I am not there I do not sleep.
