P,aaie Lee Simsforever in our liearts...
If tears can build stairways and memories were a lane, We would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times we shared, And those that life still has in store.
Since you' ll never be forgotten we pledge to you today, A cherished place within our hearts, is where you' ll always stay.
