love me, please know that I love you too. And each time 
you think of me, I know you all will miss me too. My heart 
stopped beating, my hard working hand at rest, Miss me, 
but please let me go.

Weve shared so many tears, 
We have a spiritual kinship 
That grows stronger each year. 
Were sisters by birth, 
But weve known from the start, 
That God put us together to be sisters in heart
