A little sappy but a nice gesture.

Warbirds put their deceased into the off-line training area so all these ghosts you once flew with are flying together again. Can't think of a better way myself cos they're still doing exactly what they wanted to do. Rather cool getting a six call from a dead squadmate.

This was printed on the things at the funeral.I thought it was outstanding.On another note,as we stood by the grave saying our goodbyes,A plane flew overhead.Brians Step son came up to me and asked me if I heard it afterwards.I got a big smile and told him yea,I heard it.I want to find that guy and thank him.It was totally fitting. Looks like the flyby is going to be delayed a bit.My computer went out and Im a case,power supply and a cpu from doing this and I really want to do it right.You only lose the best friend you ever had once.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.So he put his arms
around you and whispered "Come with me" With tearfull eyes we watched you
suffer.And saw you fade away.Although we loved you dearly,we could not make
you stay.A golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands at rest.God broke
our hearts to prove he only takes the best.Its lonesome here without you,we
miss you more each day.Life doesnt seem the same since you went away.When
days are sad and lonely and everything is wrong,We hear you whisper "cheer
up and carry on" Each time we see your picture,you seem to smile and
say,"Dont cry,Im in gods keeping,Well meet again some day.
