The brotherhood of Firemen runs deep in all our veins. We love this job with all our hearts and our brothers just the same. Although we have our little fights and disagreements at the station house. When one of us is in need our brothers are there to help. The brotherhhod is strong and true and consumes our very soul. We will be brothers till the end, this vowel I do bestow. |

Brad Holmes, 21, died five days after he and a partner entered a burning house in Grove City, about 50 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Holmes, a volunteer member of the Pine Township Engine Co., had burns on 75 percent of his body when he died early Wednesday at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh. The fire that caused his death also claimed the life of Patricia Andrews-Smith, 40, who had returned to the burning building to try to rescue her dog. Firefighter Scott King was injured but survived.

| I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I’m free I'm following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Task left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Oh yes, these things I to will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all brief. Don't lengthen it now with undo grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now; He set me free! |
If Tears Could Build A Stairway If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to loose you No one can ever know But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you'll always stay |
