My Journey 
Don't think of me as gone away, My journey just begun. 
Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. 
Just think of me as resting From sorrow and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days or years. And think of me as living In the hearts of those I touched, For nothing loved is ever lost And I was loved so much.

"We Are Together Again" 
God saw that you were getting tired And a cure was not meant to be. So He put His arms around you, And whispered, "Come with me". 
With tearful eyes, we watch you suffer, we saw you fade away. 
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. 
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us
