Always in our hearts In Memory Of Don H. O'Neill February 14, 1937 - November 26, 2006 I do not need a special day To bring you to my mind, The days I do not think of you Are very hard to fi nd. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on. My heart aches with sadness And secret tears still fl ow, What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fi ll. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.
