THANK YOU
Perhaps you sang a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, if so, we saw them there. Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen near at hand or afar; Whatever you did to console the heart, We thank you so much - what ever the part.
