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 all day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much,
what ever the part.
