I'm writing this from a place, Here where I dwell above, Here there is no sadness, Just eternal love...... The day I took my life, To end all misery and pain, I was very sad and lonely, And unable to explain. Please do not be unhappy, Because I am out of sight, Remember I am with you, Morning, noon and night. I wish I could explain to you, All what I had planned, But in this crazy world, You'd find it hard to understand. Remember "Change is Hope" And this will help us get better, Compassion and understanding, Is the reason for my letter. Lovingly remembered and missed so much, Mom, Dad, Ashley, Jeff Grandma and Grandpa Ryan Daley The Oakville Beaver would like to express sincere and heart-felt condolences to those who have lost their loved ones.
