Just a memory away



You brought joy into the lives of many. And blessed us with your love.
Your memory we'll always cherish.
As you look down from above.

I know we'll meet again some day.
But until then we will cry.
The hardest thing is letting go.
It's so hard to say goodbye.

You're free from all your pain & worries.
And you gave us all the best you could. You loved us unconditionally.
Just like we knew you would.

We're going to miss your smile.
That brightened up the room.
Like the roses in the spring time.
That blossom in full bloom.

Gone but not forgotten.
In our hearts you'll stay.
In our thoughts forever.
Just a memory away.
