Death of a young cousin 9/2/2013
Little Cousin Isaac Lee Baggs, Jr, memories of you are all that we have left now
One fatal day as you drove your red truck to work
God chose to call you home and to a different place
You will be missed, but your memories will stay.

I remember all those times your dad, your mom, you and your brother
Came and visited in my home in Mount Rainier
I remember all of those times that we shared at our family reunions
I remember visiting with you, your brother, your mom and your dad in Absecon

Little Cousin Isaac Lee Baggs, Jr., I will remember the day God called you home
But more than that, I will remember you in my living room doing the Isaac dance
I will remember you showing me how high you could bounce on your big trampoline
I can remember the year you were going off to college, and how proud you were.

God called you and left us behind
Filled with sadness, and now empty possibilities
Grieving over the loss of you
But filled with memories of your 25 years here on earth with us.

Little Isaac Lee Baggs, Jr., memories are all that we have left now
And that is okay.  We all know that you would have stayed
But God called you home that day.
Little Isaac, memories are all we have left now because God has called you home!
