Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there. 
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much 
Whatever the part.

God has transitioned you from labor to reward, In his quest for enhancing His premium angel stock. Say hello to grandmama because I still miss her, too. Someday I'll make the transition and be in Heaven with both ofyou. I love and I thank you both for your words ofwisdom and encouragement Your inspiration will, as it always has, propel me, humbly, to greater 
height, spiritually and professionally.
