There is a bridge of memories
From here to Heaven above
That keeps you very close to us

And days turn into years
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.
To us you were so special
What more is there to say
Except to wish with all our hearts
That you were here today.
Your five children, family and friends.
