A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Long days, long nights, you bore your pain. To wait for a cure, but all in vain. Till God Himself knew what was best. He took you home and gave you rest. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore.
