A Tribute
"STILL REMEMBERED"
,(.'
Shes Gone, but still remembered We will see her face no more. But when we join the angelic host, Well meet again beside the shore. Shes gone but still remembered. Shes left behind a lovely past. We need not mourn her going away, We will see her when we to must pass.
