Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw them there. Perhaps you spoke the nicest 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.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures; 
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name 's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow ofdeath: I will fear no evil; 
for thou art with me, thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. 
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord fore ver. 
Amen.

Together we've climbed a lot of mountains and helped each other through many hard times. We've traveled some difficult paths and always found our way clear again. But through all the changes, the learning and growing, we've always remained friends ... and that's what true love is all about. On Sunday evening God changed our paths and now you are walking with him and I must continue my journey on Earth. "Farther along we'll know all about it, farther along we'll understand why. " The joyful memories of you are rooted in my heart, you taught me how to love and forgive. Sweetheart, you are at peace. I love you and already truly miss you.
