Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

Ooo's

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I believe that everything happens for a reason

We’re not just tossed by the wind and left in the hands of fate

But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected

And we’re forced to face our deepest pain.

And when I feel the heartache begin to pull me under

I dig my heels in deep and I fight to keep my ground

Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger

And there’s nothing I can do but let it out

So just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel isn’t going away today

So just let me cry

‘Til every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me

I understood that there would be a chance that it would break

But I know he knows exactly how I’m feeling

And I know in time he’ll take the pain away

But for now just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel isn’t going away today

So just let me cry

‘Til every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

I have felt joy, the kind that makes my heart want to sing

And so my tears are not a surrender, I’ll feel that way again

But for now, for this moment

Just let me cry

I know it’s hard to see

But the pain I feel isn’t going away today

Just let me cry

Until every tear has fallen

Don’t ask when and don’t ask why

Just let me cry

I believe that everything happens for a reason

Thomas David Langenback departed this life on Thursday, September 26 following a long illness.

Tom’s life centered around his family. He was a devoted husband and father. He was never happier than when spending time with his grandchildren. He was a freelance writer and also enjoyed photography, collecting odd music, and he enjoyed all things from the world of Star Trek.

He was preceded in death by his parents, David H. Langenback and Mary H. Anderson and his beloved Mom-in-law, Nancy Taylor.

Left behind to celebrate his life are his wife Tami, daughters Wendi Langenback and Stayci Langenback and granddaughter Mollie E. Langenback, all of the home, daughter Nancy Hughes and husband Christopher and grandson Ein Hughes of Jacksonville, daughter Merilynn R. “Mollie” Shreffler and husband Andrew and grandson Michael Shreffler of Springfield, son David Langenback of Tulsa OK, brother Edward Langenback of Cherokee Village and sisters Holly Hawkins and husband Martin of Tulsa OK, Mary Langenback of Albuquerque NM, Wendy Abbeduto and husband Michael of Pryor OK, and a host of other relatives and friends.

In keeping with Tom’s wishes, the remains have been donated and no services will be held. Memorials may be made to the family at P.O. Box 277, Evening Shade AR, 72532, or to the charity of your choice.

When I was about 5 and Tom about 4, we were living in Massachusetts.  One day several of us, including Mom were sitting quietly doing our own thing in the livingroom.  Then, out of nowhere, Tom yells at the top of his lungs "splunge"!!!

All of us break down laughing for more than half an hour.  I haven't laughed that much at one word since then.
