But so quickly you sLpped away from us, 
 
As in the twinkli~g of an eye; Now we sit and ,.~ronder why you 
 
had to depart, 
 
But you will forever dwell in our thoughts, 
 
And always in our hearts, 
 
We see your smile and hear your laughter 
 
afar off in the distance, 
 
We know that now c-~nd forever more 
 
you are no longer with us; 
 
We do not question the will of the Master 
 
for He makes .no mistakes. 
 
We only pray that in His infinite wisdom 
 
we will be together again someday. 
 
Your Loving Family
