Without farewell you fell asleep,
With only memories of you to keep.
Our lives go on without you,
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our lives without you
Is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.

The special years will not return
When we were together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.
Always in our thoughts and prayers. Edgar, William, Alice and family.
