Don't think ofhim as gone awqy- hisjourney'sjust begun,
life holds so ma'!Y facets -this earth is on!J one.
]ust think ofhim as restingfrom the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where
there are no dqys oryears. Think how he must be wishing that we could know todqy
how nothing but our sadness can reai!J pass awqy.
And think ofhim as living in the hearts ofthose he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so mm:h.
