Until We Get The Band Back Together In Heaven Again - Ronald L. Wakes, Sr. April 21, 1956 - August 22, 2016 I feel as though I'm a little lost for words to say, As a Friend who was more like Family, was called Home by God today. You made us laugh, you made us sing and dance, helping the Bass Man to keep it tight, You were the other part of the Bands' Heartbeat, whether he was on your left or on your right. You knew what it meant to be a Good Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend, God saw you were tired, so He said it was time for your Journey here earth come to an end. God saw how hard you had fought and the strength you had within, So He said it's time for you to rest, as He has a new Journey for you to begin. Now you have no more pain and a Body being that of Strength and New, Every time I hear Thunder, I will Smile, because I'll see you drumming like you use to do. Your Legacy will live on through your Children and Grandchildren, I'm sure this you will know, For You are Forever in their hearts and they will carry a piece of you wherever they may go. So Rest In Heaven, My Wonderful Loving and Caring Friend, Until we get the Band back together in Heaven again. I Love You ❤!
