ren1en1ber the besl tin1es, the laughter, the song, T'he good life I lived, '"'bile I was strong..
Continue n1y heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep sn1iling and surely the sun will shine through.
1\lly n1ind is at ease, n1) soul is at rest, Ren1en1bering all, hovv I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no n1alter how small, Go on ,.,~th your life, don'ljust stare at the wall. I n1iss you all dearly, so keep up your chin, Until the day con1es, we're together again ."
