I read at my brothers funeral, Sorry no rating. Could not handle the criticism (If Any)
I never knew what a true Miracle was until recently you understand.
But to be honest I could talk about my Family and Friends all day or until the Sun were to rise again

But I only wish to speak of one Miracle this day.

Our Son our Brother our Friend
Rocco Coco

Such a man who brought people out of darkness and into the light

Such a small man with a very large heart

Such a man that could smother the earth with all the love he had.

Such a man who did not seek help for himself because he was so worried on helping someone else

Such a man that had a great sense of humor and his practical jokes that would guarantee a smile a snicker or some loud laughs

Such a man who’s main concerns was to point you in the correct direction with his Holy Bible in his hand.

Why he had to leave us so suddenly, I may never understand
But I am sure he will explain when I see him again

Our Son our Brother our Friend
Rocco Coco

If I have not broke down by now- I know I may soon.
And if I have, Then someone else is reading from me to you.

For I have a special gift for you Rock - From my Heart on this day.
No, Not Forgiveness - You don’t need that from me
As I know you followed what’s in your heart and found your peace with God and your children, So you are at peace with me as well.
As I know this gift will not surprise you, It’s one of the biggest gifts on earth. Other then our mother,father and Family and Friends of course.

I’m sure you know what it is, You’ve seen it before
But don’t worry I made sure it will fit.

For it is something you can not lose- Even if you wanted too.

I’m sure you have already shared it - as I have too.
I’m sure you shared it with God and your children as I expected you would do.

The only difference with this gift I am giving you this day
Is I made it specially for you to carry along your ways.

Our Son our Brother our Friend
Rocco Coco

As your physical body lays here at rest, Today will be the last day for me to give you a hug and kiss

So now I’ve said my words - And see you at peace,
I’m now ready to hand you your gift - you see.

It’s just three small words on a piece of paper that I will read to you
Just a small reminder that reads ;

I LOVE YOU
