      A limb has fallen from the family tree I hear a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.” Remember the good times, The laughter, the song. The good life I lived, when I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely, the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remember the good things, I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on live your life, don’t just stare at the wall. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes, we’re together again.
