For Justin.....

Everyday I sit and think of that awful word I had to hear,
Never did I think that my best friend would disappear.
But you are not forgotten and are in my heart,
And if I had the chance, I'd do all over from the start.
It stinks, it hurts and it is not fair,
To look at your baby girl and you're not there.
You lost the love of your life and the baby of your dreams,
But you are looking down and wishing all could see
How you are walking down those golden streets.

If we could see him now, we would be proud
Now he is looking down upon everyone and smiling down.
He had a smile that would light up a room,
But I know that I will see him soon.
I remember the days when we were little,
Laughing and playing, even if we got hurt a little.
We were always bad and got locked outside,
But it meant nothing to us - we just had a good time.
We all grew up and had the best of plans,
But all that matters is that you ended up in God's hands.
I love you so much and I am sorry you are gone,
But stick in there buddy, it won't be long.
I promise that I'm here for your baby and Kim,
And in my heart you will never be gone.
I love and miss you so much . . . Justin.

If you could see me now  / Tammy Pumphrey (Mom)

This song, "If You Could See Me Now"  was played at Justin's funeral.  It ministered to everyone so much.  I can just imagine Justin walking down those "streets of gold".

My prayers have all been answered, I've finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed has now been realized
No one's in a hurry, there's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at His feet

My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows, they can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us no language can share

If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now, I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now, you know the pain's erased

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
