Remembrances of Nicholas Gilmore
Here you will find some of the prayers, poems, and things family and friends had to say about Nicholas.
Our Family Prayer For Nick’s Memorial
Build me a son, O Lord
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak and brave
enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest
defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Lead him, I
pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenges. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.
Build me a son whose heart will be clean, whose goal will be high; a son who will master
himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget
how to weep; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.
And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.
Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain.” Love Dad
DON’T BE SAD
Please don’t be sad
I miss you so much too.
It’s beautiful here where Iam
but I worry alot about you.
I sleep with angels watching me,
there’s only love up here..
I am never lonely or afraid
cause God’s so very near.
I see Jesus every day,
he’s very kind and true.
I never have any pain, I laugh
and sing a lot and I hear you when
you pray.
Please don’t be mad at God
You see, He loves me too.
And even though you’re not with me
I’m really still with you.
Love Mom
In loving Memory of my brother.
Your wings was ready but my heart wasn’t.
The day you left and gain those wings
my heart was broken into two.
I wish you could have stayed with me but heaven need you.
You left me with memories and I love you dearly still
No matter how much time goes by you know I will always.
You are a very special person
With kindness in your heart and the love we had together
Grows stronger now we’re apart.
I know I can’t bring you back
Although I wish everyday
But a piece of me went with you the day you went away.

Beloved brother …
our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
You are in the sun, the wind, the rain, in the air we breathe every breath we take. You sing a song of love, hope, and cheer. There’s no more pain,
no more fear. We’ll see you in the clouds above, hear you whisper words of love, we’ll be together before long until then we’ll listen for your song….
Special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only we could have
you back just for a little while.
I’ll miss & love you forever Nick!!!!!!
May you continue to Rest in Heaven, Peace, and Love!!!!
Heaven truly did gain an angel..

Bro Life Isn’t Always Fair
Somewhere in my dreams tonight I’ll see you standing there You look at
me with a smile “Life isn’t always fair”
You say you were chosen for his garden His preciously hand picked
bouquet “God really needed me, That’s why I couldn’t stay”
It’s said to be that angels Are sent from above I’ve always had my angel
My best friend – whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue All I see are visions of you
“While there’s a heart in me, you’ll be a part of me.”.
I Love You Bro!!!! & you were always an Angel. I’ve had dreams about you since the day you went to heaven and those dreams have been nothing but good laughter. Thank you Bro for letting me know you are doing great!!!!
