Speak of me as you have always done. Remember the good times, laughter, and fun. Share the happy memories we've made. Do not let them wither or fade.
1111 be with you in the summerls sun, and when the winterls chill has come. 1111 be the voice that whispers in the breeze. 11m peaceful now, put your mind at ease. I've rested my eyes and gone to sleep, but memories we've shared are yours to keep. Sometimes our final days may be a test, but remember me when I was at my best.
Although things may not be the same, donlt be afraid to use my name. Let your sorrow last for just a while. Comfort each other and try to smile.
11ve lived a life filled with joy and fun. So live on now, and know that I love you for all youlve done.
